considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them t hat
would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is also no certainty that these
inferred mineral resources will be converted to measured and indicated categories through
further drilling, or into mineral reserves, once economic considerations are applied.
