Assumptions<br />

The following assumptions were made in preparing the estimate:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Construction work is based on unit and fixed price contracts (no cost plus or time and<br />

materials arrangements)<br />

Budget quotes from vendors for equipment and materials are valid to within ± 5% of the<br />

purchase price<br />

Cement, aggregate and sand will be available locally to produce concrete<br />

Soil conditions will be adequate for foundation bearing pressures<br />

Construction activities will be carried out in a continuous program<br />

Labor productivities have been validated with input from experienced contractors<br />

Bulk materials such as rebar, structural steel and plate, cable, cable tray and piping are all<br />

readily available in the scheduled timeframe.<br />

Capital equipment is available in the timeframes shown since availability has been verified<br />

by suppliers<br />

<strong>Project</strong> Currency<br />

All capital costs are expressed in Q2, 2012 United States Dollars (USD). Costs submitted in other<br />

currencies have been converted to USD by using the rate of exchange quoted by Vendors. No<br />

provision has been made for any taxes or fees applicable to currency charges or for forward<br />

cover insurance during the project.<br />

Accuracy<br />

The capital cost estimate for the underground mine, process plant, tailings storage facility and<br />

infrastructure has been prepared to a level of ± 15%.<br />

Exclusions<br />

The following items are not included or covered by the estimates of the capital cost estimates:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Owner sunk costs (acquired equipment, platforms built, exploration works performed,<br />
