The indicated resource contains more than 6.33 million oz AuEq in 81.7 million tonnes averaging 1.56 g/t Au, 14.19 g/t Ag, 0.18% Cu, and 0.86% Zn. There is also an inferred resource containing over 1.7 million oz AuEq in 22.3 million tonnes averaging 1.47 g/t Au, 22.98 g/t Ag, 0.20% Cu and 0.68% Zn.
