Metallurgical Recovery:Â 85% for copper/molybdenum/silver*Estimate of mineable resources was prepared by the production of a preliminary Whittleâ„¢ pit outline using economic parameters from current PEA.No dilution factor was applied to recovered grades due to the fact that essentially all (+95%) of the resource blocks were mineable.
