Based on the results of similar open pit nickel projects in Canada and the results of<br />

the engineering review of the <strong>Wellgreen</strong> deposit, a 0.2% NiEq cut-off was used to<br />

tabulate the total within the various categories. This is based on the following<br />

parameters:<br />

• 2.5:1 stripping ratio<br />

• operating cost of US$23.15/t at 32,000 t/d<br />

• nickel of US$9.40/lb<br />

• recovery of 67.9% nickel.<br />

Table 14.13 summarizes the resource estimate at the 0.2% NiEq cut-off within the<br />

optimized pitshell.<br />

Figure 14.5 displays the distribution of the resource classification of the blocks within<br />

the optimized open pit. The indicated material is concentrated in the footwall prtion<br />

of the mineral zone where the underground working and close spaced underground<br />

diamond drilling is located.<br />
