(1) Mineral Resources are exclusive of material mined; CIM definitions were followed for Mineral Resources; Mineral Resources are classified as Indicated and Inferred based on drill hole spacing and geologic continuity; Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate. Composites have been capped where appropriate; Open pit mineral resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.2% NiEq within a conceptual pit shell; Underground Mineral Resources are estimated from the bottom of the 2018 pit and mineral resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.5% NiEq; NiEq Cut-off grades are based on metal prices of $6.25/lb Ni, $2.80/lb Cu, $31.00/lb Co, $950/oz Pt, $900/oz Pd and $1,250.00/oz Au, and metal recoveries of 76.4% for Ni, 95.9% for copper, 71% for Co, 74.8% for Pt, 42.4% for Pd and 38.4% for Au. The resource estimate was prepared by Allan Armitage of SGS Geostat to NI 43-101 specifications.
