Efforts to Obtain Additional Production, page 15 & Buen Futuro
Reserves, page 20
1. Industry Guide 7 requires ore reserves to be that part of a
mineral deposit that can be economically and legally extracted or
produced at the time of the reserve determination. It also
requires
that the quantities for proven reserves are computed from the
dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes
and the quality of the ore is computed from the results of
detailed
sampling. The sites for inspection, sampling, and measurement are
spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined
that
the size, shape, depth, and mineral content of reserves are well-
established. The degree of assurance for probable reserves,
although
lower than that for proven reserves, is high enough to assume
continuity between points of observation.
The "Technical Geological Report - Geology, Resources and Reserves
at
the Cangalli Gold Mine" and the "Technical Report - Geology,
Mineral
Resource & Reserve Buen Futuro" are not "final" or "bankable"
feasibility reports and do not demonstrate economic mining
operations
are possible. The information required to demonstrate proven &
probable reserves was not provided in these reports. Many key
parameters, such as the sample spatial locations, in-situ & bulk
densities, reproducible and representative sampling procedures
with
quality assurance & quality controls (QA/QC), metallurgical
recoveries, and mining costs were assumed, not demonstrated.
Remove
all reserve estimates from the filing.
