Mineral resources are reported within conceptually mineable stope shapes on an in-situ basis, without mining dilution or recovery factors; resources that are not reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Mineral reserves use mineable stope shapes, a variable net-smelter-return cutoff, and modifying factors including recovery, dilution, metallurgy, infrastructure, regulatory, and social considerations.
