The resource assessment carried out during modelling of the Azatek deposit is not final. Data on the deposit’s resources will be supplemented and updated during the further exploration and confirming operations.
The mineral reserves have been estimated with reference to definition of the JORC Code (2012) (clause 29). Mineral reserves are shown in short form in the table. The mineral reserves are estimated on the basis of an economic parameters.
Cut-off grade of 1.1 g/t of gold equivalent was used to estimate the ore reserves in the open pits (recoverable ore reserves).
