A Base Case was estimated in US Dollars using a gold selling price of $400/oz, pit slopes of 45 degrees, process costs of $3.75 per short ton, mining costs of $0.85 per short ton with a range of gold recoveries estimated. Historical “Reserves” are located on the Property’s patented claims.
Black Mammoth is not considering the historical estimates as current mineral reserves due to insufficient work by a qualified person to classify them as such. The historical reserves were categorized by different criteria than those specified in sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI 43-101, based on modeled oxidation characteristics; however, other discrepancies are unknown to Black Mammoth. A qualified person has yet to determine the necessary procedures to upgrade or verify the historical reserves as current mineral reserves. The inability to verify the data stems from the historical reserves being estimated using outdated methodologies and standards, which differ from the contemporary regulations and practices outlined in NI 43-101. Furthermore, there is a lack of detailed documentation and verification processes from the original estimation period, making it difficult to ensure the historical data’s accuracy and reliability under current standards. The Company believes that the 1997 estimated historical gold resources and reserves are relevant for historical completeness and reliable for their purposes, as they were completed by a competent mining engineer according to the standards of that time.
