Was the nature and appropriateness of the<br />

estimation technique(s) applied <strong>report</strong>ed?<br />

(Includes any assumptions regarding the<br />

treatment of extreme grade values, domains,<br />

interpolation parameters, and the maximum<br />

distance of extrapolation from data points.)<br />

Were check estimates, previous estimates<br />

and/or mine production records available and<br />

does the Mineral Resource estimate take<br />

account of such data?<br />

Were there assumptions made regarding<br />

recovery of by-products?<br />

Have any deleterious elements or other nongrade<br />

variables of economic significance<br />

been estimated (e.g. sulphur for acid mine<br />

drainage characterization)?<br />

In the case of block model interpolation, have<br />

the block size in relation to the average<br />

sample spacing and the search been<br />

denoted?<br />

Were any assumptions made regarding<br />

modeling of selective mining units?<br />

Were any assumptions made about<br />

correlation between variables?<br />

Have the processes used for validation,<br />

checking, and comparison of the model data<br />

to drill-hole data been <strong>report</strong>ed? Did the<br />

validation process include any use of<br />

reconciliation data?<br />

Were the tonnages estimated on a dry basis<br />

or with natural moisture, and has the method<br />

of determination of the moisture content been<br />

denoted?<br />

Has the basis of the adopted cut-off grade(s)<br />

and/or the quality parameters applied been<br />

detailed?<br />
