McIlvenna Bay Resource Footnotes
35
1 Effective date January 1, 2013; CIM definitions were followed for Mineral Resources; CuEq = copperequivalent; ZnEq = zinc equivalent; NSR = Net Smelter Return.
2 The base case mineral resource is estimated based on 178 diamond drill holes and a NSR cut-off gradeof US$60/t. NSR grades were calculated and high grade caps were applied as per the discussion inEstimation Methodology and Parameters below and include provisions for metallurgical recovery andestimates of current shipping terms and smelter rates for similar concentrates. Metal prices used areUS$3.25/lb. Cu, US$1.10/lb. Zn, US$1,400/oz. Au, and US$25/oz. Ag. Specific gravity was interpolated foreach block based on measurements taken from core specimens.
3 Mr. David Rennie, P.Eng., of RPA, prepared this mineral resource estimate. Mr. Rennie is independent ofForan and is a “Qualified Person” within the meaning of NI 43-101.
4 Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Theestimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, marketingor other issues.
5 CuEq and ZnEq values were estimated based on $53.94 per % Cu, $8.11 per % Zn, $31.16 per g/t Au and$0.03 per g/t Ag.
