Geologic resources (e.g. mineralized material, including measuredand indicated) are not included in reserves. The geologic resources will not qualify as reserves until comprehensivestudies establish their legal and economic feasibility. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the estimatedresources and mineralization will become proven and probable reserves.8
