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. |
