Comments on the reserve resource information

  • THE ESTIMATED ORE GRADES ARE AS FOLLOWS: FOR 1988, 1.8 PERCENT COPPER, 3.9 PERCENT ZINC, AND 0.5 PERCENT LEAD; FOR 1989, 2.1 PERCENT COPPER, 4.4 PERCENT ZINC, AND 0.5 PERCENT LEAD; FOR 1990, 2.3 PERCENT COPPER, 3.7 PERCENT ZINC, AND 0.5 PERCENT LEAD; FOR 1991, 2.0 PERCENT COPPER, 3.6 PERCENT ZINC, AND 0.5 PERCENT LEAD; AND PROJECTED FOR THE YEAR 1995, THERE IS NO GIVEN ORE GRADES, BECAUSE ORE GRADES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO CHANGE IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. THE CUT-OFF GRADE IS 0.7 PERCENT COPPER. RESERVES ARE DELINEATED TO A DEPTH OF 450 METERS.
  • RESERVES ARE SUFFICIENT FOR A FURTHER 18 YEARS OF PRODUCTION.

Comments on other economic factors

  • THE DEPOSIT IS WORKED BY OPEN PIT. THE FINAL PLANNED DEPTH IS 180 METERS. THE FINE GRANED ORE IS VERY RICH IN SULPHUR AND THERE IS A RISK OF SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
