Information on Mineral Resource Estimation

The disclosures referenced in this press release were made pursuant to NI 43-101 and differ materially from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The terms “measured mineral resource,” “indicated mineral resource,” and “estimated mineral resource” as used in this press release are trademarks of the Canadian Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Standards Institute (“CIM definition criteria“), these definitions are adopted by NI 43-101. Accordingly, the information contained in this press release providing a description of our mineral deposits pursuant to NI 43-101 is governed by the United States Federal Securities Act and its regulations and It may not be comparable to similar information published by other regulated US companies.

Investors are cautioned not to assume that some or all of the Mineral Resources will be converted into reserves. In accordance with the CIM definition criteria, an “Inferred Mineral Resource” is a portion of the Mineral Resource whose quantity and grade or quality is inferred based on limited geological evidence and sampling. Such geological evidence is sufficient to suggest, but not verify, geological and grade or quality continuity. Inferred Mineral Resources are less reliable than those applicable to Mineral Resources indicated and shall not be converted to Mineral Reserves. However, it is reasonably expected that most of the Inferred Mineral Resources can be upgraded to the Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration. Under Canadian regulations, inferred Mineral Resource estimates may not form the basis of feasibility studies or feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any portion of the Inferred Mineral Resources are economically or legally extractable. Disclosure of the “contained ounces” contained in the resource is permitted under Canadian regulations. However, the SEC generally only allows issuers to report mineralizations that do not constitute “reserves” as tonnage and grades according to SEC standards without reference to unit measurements.

Canadian standards, including CIM definition standards and NI 43-101, differ significantly from the standards in SEC Industry Guide 7. 1933, amended (“SEC Modernization Rules“), compliance is required for the first fiscal year beginning after January 1, 2021. The SEC Modernization Rule replaces previous asset disclosure requirements contained in SEC Industry Guide 7. SEC Modernization As a result of the adoption of the Regulation, the SEC now recognizes estimates of “measured mineral resources,” “indicated mineral resources,” and “inferred mineral resources.” Information about mineral resources contained in or referenced in this press release may not be comparable to similar information published by companies reporting to US standards. Although the SEC Modernization Rule is said to be “substantially similar” to the CIM Definition Standard, the reader should be aware of the differences between the SEC Modernization Rule and the CIM Definition Standard. Accordingly, the Mineral Resources that we may report under NI 43-101 as “measured Mineral Resources,” “indicated Mineral Resources,” and “inferred Mineral Resources” There is no guarantee that it will be the same as if you had made a quote for Standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rule.
