On February 9, 2016, the Company announced a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment
(PEA) for the Ootsa Property with potential for low capital cost, low risk and rapid pay back
utilizing existing infrastructure in the district with a contract mining and toll milling scenario. The
study recommends the Company continue to advance the Ootsa Project with extended and
advanced technical studies with the intention of moving the project toward a production decision.
The current technical report supporting the resource statement and PEA is available on SEDAR or the Company’s
website at www.surgecopper.com and has an effective date of January 2016. The resource estimate uses $8.50 per
tonne NSR cut-off value. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and by definition do not demonstrate economic
viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the mineral resource will be converted i nto mineral reserves. A
‘Measured Mineral Resource’ is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape
and physical characteristics are so well established that they can be estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the
appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support production planning and evaluation of the
economic viability of the deposit. An ‘Indicated Mineral Resource’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which
quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics can be estimated with a level of confidence
sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support mine planning and
evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Copper Equivalent (CuEq) calculations are based on base case
metal price (US$3/lb Cu, US$1260/oz Au, US$10.30/lb Mo, and US$17/oz Ag) and process recovery assumptions,
and take into account smelter payable rates and refining costs. M&I = measured and indicated. The resource update
and Preliminary Economic Assessment was completed by P&E Mining Consultants Inc. in accordance with National
Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
Dr. Shane Ebert P.Geo. , is the Qualified Person for the Ootsa project as defined by National
Instrument 43-101 and has approved the technical disclosure contained in this news release.
