(1) Copper Equivalent calculated using US $2.25/lb Cu, US $1000/oz Au, US $13.50/lb Mo and US $15.00/oz Ag and is not adjusted for metallurgical recoveries as these remain uncertain. The formula used is as follows Cu Eq = Cu %+ (Au g/t x 0.65) + (Mo ppm / 1667) + (Ag g/t x 0.01)

(2) Under National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-

101), these potential tonnage and grade estimates are conceptual in nature, as there has

been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further

exploration will result in the targeted deposit being delineated as a mineral resource.
