Table 1. Santa Ana Mineral Resource Estimate |
Notes: | |
1. | The effective date of this Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) is 26 April 2023. |
2. | Rod Webster, MAIG, of AMC has conducted the MRE and is an independent QP. |
3. | Mineral Resources are stated according to the CIM Definition Standards (2014). |
4. | Mineral Resources were reported within potentially mineable shapes, assuming an underground mining method with a minimum mining width of 1.0 m. |
5. | Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. |
6. | The estimate is reported for an underground mining scenario using a Silver Equivalent (AgEq) cut-off grade of 158 g/t AgEq. |
7. | Inputs were: silver price of US$25.0/oz, gold price of US$1,800.0/oz; mining cost of US$69.0/t, processing cost of US$32.0/t and G&A costs of US$13.0/t and metallurgical recoveries of 93% for Ag and 96% for Au. |
8. | The AgEq was calculated using the prices (P), recoveries (R) and grades of each element using the following formula: AgEq g/t = Ag g/t +(((AuP*AuR)/(AgP*AgR))*Au g/t). No sales or marketing costs were considered. |
9. | Bulk density values were interpolated for each of the mineralized veins with the global average at reporting AgEq cut- off for the entire Santa Ana deposit is 2.7 t/m3. |
10. | 2D Accumulation method using Ordinary Kriging (OK) into blocks generally 10 m in size across and vertically down the vein. The block size along the dip direction covered the whole vein. |
11. | Any discrepancies in the totals are due to rounding effects. |
Outcrop Silver is rapidly advancing the Santa Ana high-grade silver deposit with ongoing expansion drilling. Outcrop Silver is also progressing exploration on four gold projects with world-class discovery potential in Colombia.
