Additional resources not included in the financial analysis of this technical report
Six underground deposits were classified as reserves in a technical report in July 30, 2008 (PAH, 2008). Of the six deposits, only one deposit, R-190, has been included in the financial analysis of this technical report. The remaining five 2008 underground reserves were not included in the financial analysis of this technical report and have been reclassified as measured and indicated resources. The author of this technical report believes that experience from the R-190 underground mine is essential to final evaluation of the remaining five deposits to reserve status.
A summary of the measured and indicated resources is as set out in the attached measured and indicated resources table.
