RESOURCES AND RESERVES Clause Samples
RESOURCES AND RESERVES. M-MC has reviewed and validated the 2005 Datamine resource model compiled by the China Central Engineering Institute for Non-ferrous Metallurgical Industries (ENFI). The methodology applied to the resource estimates by ENFI in their 2005 model is appropriate and correct for this style of mineralisation. The resource classification applied has been reviewed against the recommendations of the JORC code and appears reasonable. M-MC was unable to carry out a site visit due to perceived political instability and therefore has not validated the underlying data or its quality. A total of 119 holes have been completed in three exploration programs totaling 46,426m. Some of the holes were angled holes. Most of the drilling was carried out at less than 100m spacing. The location of drill-holes is shown in Figure 5.2. Exploration methods are summarised in Table 5.3.

RESOURCES AND RESERVES. This section shall include: the quantity and average composition and content of the Minerals and the estimated amounts of recoverable Minerals which comprise the Resources and Reserves, as well as other resources and reserves, in the Production Lease Area, together with the total number of drill holes, data, analyses, sampling methods, models, metallurgical tests and assumptions regarding dilution, grade cutting, losses and rates of recovery upon which such estimates are based; the resource estimation methodology including assumptions and parameters used for the estimation; and, a valuation of precious and semi-precious stones if these are present. The definitions adopted under NI 43-101 and the related Companion Policy shall apply to reporting all resources and reserves.
RESOURCES AND RESERVES. M-MC has reviewed and validated the 2004 Datamine resource model compiled by ▇▇▇▇. The methodology applied to the resource estimates by ENFI in their 1991 Basic Design Report and 2004 update model is appropriate and correct for this style of mineralisation. The resource classification applied has been reviewed against the recommendations of the JORC code and appears reasonable. M-MC was unable to carry out a site visit due to perceived political instability and therefore has not validated the underlying data or its quality. A diamond drilling program based on the geochemical and geophysics surveys was prepared to define the extensions of mineralisation of the South Orebody. The GSP started the diamond-drilling program with two holes drilled (inclined at 43o) in the South Orebody. Between 1974 and 1976, Pakistan Resource Development Company (RDC) drilled more diamond holes on a grid pattern of 200m × 120m (along E-W and N-S directions respectively). Detailed surveying of the drillhole collar locations and deviations along the drill holes was completed. A total of 74 resource drill holes (18,079m) were completed in two drilling programmes. The second drilling programme included samples for metallurgical testing. A third program of shallow angled holes was undertaken for metallurgical purposes targeting the shallower portions of the resource, this drilling was not used in the resource estimate. The drilling summary is shown in Table 6.6.
