Notes to Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources table:
- Rounding of figures causes some numbers to not add correctly.
- Nueva Esperanza metallurgical recoveries: 80% Au and 84% Ag estimated from test work by Kingsgate.
- Chatree metallurgical recoveries: 83.3% Au and 38.7% Ag based on metallurgical test work and plant performance.
- Cut-off grades for Resources are: Chatree 0.30 g/t Au, Nueva Esperanza 0.5g/t AuEq60 (assuming metal prices of USD1,200/oz Au, USD19.00/oz Ag and metallurgical recoveries as per (2) above.
- Nueva Esperanza Ore Reserves are based on a floating cut-off grade method. In this method each Resource block is subjected to a series of estimates to generate revenue and cost fields that are used to determine a breakeven cut-off grade.
- Please refer to ASX:KCN release published 14 April 2016 titled, “Nueva Esperanza Pre-Feasibility Study Confirms Kingsgate Growth Strategy” for details on Mineral Resources, Ore Reserves and JORC 2012 Table 1.
