1 Mineral reserves and resources calculated using metal prices of $1.17 per pound zinc (includes premium), $1,260 per ounce gold, $3.10 per pound copper, $18.00 per ounce of silver and using a C$/US$ exchange rate of 1.25.
Current mineral resources for the Snow Lake regional deposits as of January 1, 2019 are summarized below.
1 WIM mineral resources reported based on a 1.3% CuEq cut-off for the underground portion, and a 0.5% cut-off for the open pit portion, assuming processing recoveries of 90% for copper and zinc for gold and silver, and using long-term prices of $3.00 per pound copper, $1,200 per ounce gold, $1.00 per ounce zinc and $15.00 per ounce of silver.
2 Pen II mineral resources are estimated at a minimum NSR cut-off of C$65 per tonne and assumed that the Pen II mineral resources would be amenable to processing at the Stall mill.
3 New Britannia mineral resource estimates have been reported at a minimal true width of 1.5 metres and with a cut-off grade varying from 2 grams per tonne (at the 3 Zone and the lower part of New Britannia zone) to 3.3 grams per tonne (at Birch and for the upper part of New Britannia zone).
