PEA (2013)

Economic

Model

Note - assumes an exchange rate of 1:1 of CDN to

US Dollar;

• tax rates are based on a blended rate

between Sage and SAS

• excludes any financing costs

• contingency on capital expenditures of 30%

• CAPEX figures represents 100% of

financing

The PEA does not indicate the economic viability of

the mineral resource and is preliminary in nature,

includes inferred resources that are considered too

speculative geologically to have the economic

considerations applied to them that would enable

them to be categorized as mineral reserves and that

there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.

Mineral resources that are not mined reserves do not

have demonstrated economic viability.
