Note:
- Measured and Indicated resources of 909 Mt @ 0.53% CuEq (0.37% Cu, 0.02% Mo, 0.05g/t Au) and Inferred mineral resources of 1,426 Mt @ 0.37% CuEq (0.27% Cu, 0.01% Mo, 0.04g/t Au) at a base case 0.25% CuEq cut-off grade and includes Measured and Indicated resources of 427 Mt @ 0.71% CuEq (0.52% Cu, 0.03% Mo, 0.06g/t Au) and Inferred resources of 177 Mt @ 0.62% CuEq (0.45% Cu, 0.02% Mo, 0.07g/t Au) at a cut-off grade of 0.50% CuEq - refer to press release dated July 22, 2024. NI 43-101 Technical Report to be released within 45 days on the Company's website and Sedar+. The Mineral Resources estimate is at a base case of 0.25% CuEq cut-off grade and other estimates at varying cut-off grades are included only to demonstrate the sensitivity of the Mineral Resources estimate and are not the QP's estimate of the Mineral Resources for the property. Copper-equivalent grade calculation for reporting assumes metal prices of US$4.00/lb Cu, US$20.00/lb Mo, and US$1,850/oz Au, and recoveries of 90% Cu, 85% Mo, and 70% Au based on preliminary metallurgical testwork and includes provisions for downstream selling costs. CuEq formula: CuEq (%) = Cu (%) + 5.604 × Mo (%) + 0.623 × Au (g/t).
