James Walker, President and CEO of the Company said: “We have been anticipating and working hard towards this outcome for the last year, and are very pleased to have successfully reached this important milestone. We have an enormous confidence in our project and its ability to provide our company a solid and enduring future, and are excited to begin development immediately to reach this next important milestone. We have established excellent industry partnerships and involved world experts when planning our mine’s development, as well as arranging customers for our anticipated product.”

 

Disclosure: Companies typically rely on comprehensive feasibility reports on mineral reserve estimates to reduce the risks and uncertainties associated with a production decision. The Company has not completed a feasibility study on, nor has the Company completed a mineral reserve estimate at the Lost Sheep Mine, and as such the financial and technical viability is deemed to have higher risk than if this work had been completed. Based on historical engineering and geological reports, historical production data and current engineering work completed or in process by the Company, the Company intends to move forward with the development of this asset. The Company further cautions that it is not basing any production decision on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability, and therefore there is a much greater risk of failure associated with its production decision.
