GLOSSARY OF SELECTED MINING AND TECHNICAL TERMS


The following is a glossary of selected mining terms used in the United States and Canada and referenced in this Annual Report on Form 10-K:


Table 1. Glossary


Term

Definition

Ag

Silver

Assay

A chemical test performed on a sample of ores or minerals to determine the amount of valuable metals contained.

Au

Gold

Bulk sample

A large sample of mineralized rock, frequently hundreds of tonnes, selected in such a manner as to be representative of the potential mineral deposit (orebody) being sampled and used to determine metallurgical characteristics.

Core

The long cylindrical piece of rock, about an inch in diameter, brought to surface by diamond drilling

Core sample

One or several pieces of whole or split parts of core selected as a sample for analysis or assay.

Cross-cut

A horizontal opening driven from a shaft and (or near) right angles to the strike of a vein or other orebody.  The term is also used to signify that a drill hole is crossing the mineralization at or near right angles to it.

Cu

Copper

Cut-off grade

The lowest grade of mineralized rock that qualifies as ore grade in a given deposit, and is also used as the lowest grade below which the mineralized rock currently cannot be profitably exploited.  Cut-off grades vary between deposits depending upon the amenability of ore to gold extraction and upon costs of production.

Diorite

An intrusive igneous rock composed chiefly of sodic plagioclase, hornblende, biotite or pyroxene.

Drift

A horizontal or nearly horizontal underground opening driven along a vein to gain access to the deposit.

Exploration

Prospecting, sampling, mapping, diamond drilling and other work involved in searching for or defining a mineral deposit.

Fault

A break in the earth's crust caused by tectonic forces which have moved the rock on one side with respect to the other.

Grade

Term used to indicate the concentration of an economically desirable mineral or element in its host rock as a function of its relative mass.  With gold or silver, this term may be expressed as grams per tonne (g/t) or ounces per tonne (opt or oz/t).

Gram

0.0321507 troy ounces

g/t

Grams per metric tonne

Hydrothermal

Processes associated with heated or superheated water, especially mineralization or alteration.

Km

Kilometre(s). Equal to 0.62 miles.

M

Metre(s). Equal to 3.28 feet.

Metamorphic

Affected by physical, chemical, and structural processes imposed by depth in the earth's crust.

Mine

An excavation on or beneath the surface of the ground from which mineral matter of value is extracted.

Net Smelter Return ("NSR")

A payment made by a producer of metals based on the value of the gross metal production from the property, less deduction of certain limited costs including smelting, refining, transportation and insurance costs.

Orebody

A term used to denote the mineralization contained within an economic mineral deposit.
