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 into 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 r ates 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.
