The Technical Report updates and replaces the mineral resource estimates disclosed in the prior technical report filed by the Company entitled "Preliminary Economic Assessment Dome Mountain Mine British Columba, Canada" dated July 13, 2020 (the "Prior Report"), which was retracted by news release dated September 22, 2020 following a technical disclosure review by the BCSC. The Prior Report disclosed an indicated resource of 78,260 oz Au and 405,783 oz Ag and an inferred resource of 128,173 oz Au and 472,554 oz Ag. Differences in resources between the Technical Report and the Prior Report are due primarily to applying a cut-off grade of 3.42 g/t Au to both the gold and silver resource blocks, applying only the cut and fill resource model and, reducing the Boulder and Boulder East grade cap from 89.69 to 69.38 gold g/t.
The Technical Report was prepared by Rough Stock Mining Services (Montana) and authored by Steve Cutler CPG, Jennifer Evans CPG, and Jill Pardoe P. Geo.
The scientific and technical disclosure in this news release was approved by William Cronk, P.Geo., a qualified person as defined in NI 43-101 and a consultant to the Company.
