QP Info and Notes to Reserves & Resources The reserve and resource estimates have been audited and verified, and the technical disclosure in thie press release dated April 13, 2015, has been
approved, by the Company’s independent reserve and resource engineer, Glenn R. Clark, P. Eng., of Glenn R. Clark & Associates Limited. Mr. Clark
is a ‘qualified person’ under National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, of the Canadian Securities Administrators. The
report detailing the December 31, 2014, reserve and resource estimates will be filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) within 45 days of this press release.
See ‘Notes for Reserves and Resources’ below for key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate the foregoing reserves and
resources.
Notes for Reserves and Resources:
The reserves and resources have been classified according to the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Standards on
Mineral Resources and Reserves: Definition and Guidelines (December 2005).
1. The reserves and resources are estimated using the polygonal method.
2. Resources do not include reserves.
3. All intersections are calculated to a 6.0 foot minimum horizontal mining width for structures dipping at greater than 45 degrees. The minimum
mining height for structures dipping less than 45 degrees is 9.0 feet.
4. Dilution is added to reserves at varying rates depending on the mining method, and the width of the ore. The average dilution of the reserves at
December 31, 2014, is 27% at 0.02 opt, marginally up from an average of 24.0% the previous year. Long-hole stopes are diluted by anywhere
between 50-100% (mostly 50%). Cut and fill stopes are diluted by anywhere between 10-50%.
5. All higher grades are cut to 3.50 opt. Based on a statistical analysis completed by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. in 2007, the
Company has implemented various higher grade cutting factors for four zones in the South Mine Complex. These four zones are the New South
Zone (7.20 opt), Lower D North (9.30 opt), Lower D North Footwall (4.80 opt), and the #7 and #7 HW Zones (6.40 opt). Cut-off grades of 0.22 opt
and 0.18 opt are used for reserve and resource calculations respectively, depending on the location, and economics of the block. Generally, a cut-
off of 0.22 opt is required on a whole-block basis to achieve profitability and reserve classification. It is possible to have sub-blocks within an ore
reserve block that assay less than any cut-off which have been incorporated for mining or geotechnical reasons. Ore blocks that grade between
0.18 opt and the cut-off of 0.22 opt have been classified as resource. The cut-off grade for near-surface resources (surface to -1,000 foot
elevation) is 0.12 opt. An internal report completed by Roscoe Postle and Associates in October 2014, suggest that the cutting factor for
mineralization on the Amalgamated Trend be set at 2.50 opt. This grade capping was implemented by the Company and incorporated in the
estimates for 2014.
6. The area of influence of the proven and measured categories are 30 feet from development chip samples, probable and indicated categories are
50 feet of radius from a known sample point (drill holes) and inferred is another 50 feet of influence (between 50 – 100 feet).
7. A 94.2% tonnage recovery is used. Continuity of the veins appears very good.
8. The assumptions used include CAD$1,350.00 (US$1,200) per ounce of gold.
9. The Company is not aware of any environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing or other issue that may materially affect
its estimate of mineral resources.
10. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
