Of the Mineral Resources planned for extraction under the PFS production model approximately 93% is
within the IndicatedResources category, with the balance (7%) being classified within the Inferred
Resources category. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral
Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of
Indicated Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realised.
