Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Gold recovery is reconciled to gold contained in flotation and gravity concentrates as determined by assays. Flotation concentrate assays are performed at ALS Laboratories in North Vancouver, British Columbia, with umpire assays performed by Alex Stewart (Assayers) Ltd in Knowsley, England. Assays of gold dore received from the refiner are checked with assays performed on duplicate samples by ALS Laboratories in North Vancouver, BC. Both of these labs are independent and ISO certified.
The Company cautions that it has not completed a feasibility study based on mineral reserves. The Company is proceeding with operations based on mineral resources, which are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. The Company plans to continue milling as resources are developed and will increase the milling rate if and when sufficient resources are defined.
