In October 2016, Falco estimated the measured resource at 736,000 oz. gold equivalent, the indicated resource at 6.34 million oz., and the inferred resource at 1.71 million oz. Expressed otherwise, there are 9.4 million measured tonnes at 1.58 g/t gold, 16.33 g/t silver, 0.18% copper and 0.81% zinc; 81.7 million indicated tonnes at 1.56 g/t gold, 14.19 g/t silver, 0.18% copper and 0.86% zinc; and 22.3 million inferred tonnes grading 1.48 g/t gold, 22.98 g/t silver, 0.2% copper and 0.68% zinc. In May 2016, the preliminary economic assessment prepared for Falco put all-in sustaining costs at US$427/oz. of gold, net of by-product credits. Annual gold production will be 236,000 oz. for 12 years. The feasibility study and environmental assessment for the Horne 5 project will be complete shortly.
