| Deposit | Estimated as of 1988 but repeated value in 2003.. Unclear if this includes Pitanda South. The TEAL 2005 43-101 (p. 62) report recommends considering all historic resource estimates as Inferred Resources. |
| General | Selley and others (2005), table 1, fig. 6, puts argillite hosted ore in the siltstone-shale layer between hanging and footwalls and arenite-hosted ore in the top of the footwall in conglomerate and sandstone. |
