Inferred Mineral Resource financial
"which hosts an Inferred Mineral Resource of 75 Moz AgEq at a grade"
An inferred mineral resource is an early-stage estimate of the amount and grade of minerals in the ground based on limited sampling and geological evidence; think of it as a rough sketch of where valuable material might be, rather than a detailed blueprint. It matters to investors because it signals potential upside but carries high uncertainty—further drilling and study are needed before it can support mine planning or reliable economic forecasts.
Indicated Mineral Resources financial
"leaving untouched Indicated Mineral Resources of 260,000 oz gold at 0.92 g/t Au"
Indicated mineral resources are quantities and qualities of a mineral deposit estimated with a reasonable level of confidence based on spaced sampling and analysis, sitting between a rough guess and a high-certainty measurement. For investors, they matter because they support preliminary economic studies and mine planning—think of them as a reasonably reliable shopping list for a recipe, useful for deciding whether to invest further but not yet proof that profitable extraction is guaranteed.
AgEq financial
"For Waterpump Creek, the formulas for AgEq are AgEq (g/t)= Ag (g/t)"
National Instrument 43-101 regulatory
"Please refer to the NI 43-101 Technical Report titled "Illinois Creek Project"
National Instrument 43-101 is a set of rules and guidelines that govern how mineral exploration and mining companies must report information about their projects. It ensures that the details shared with investors are accurate, consistent, and reliable—similar to how a detailed, verified blueprint ensures a building’s safety. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy information about a company's mineral resources.
Qualified Person regulatory
"Patrick Donnelly P.Geo, a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101"
A qualified person is someone with specialized knowledge, experience, and training in a particular field, allowing them to accurately assess and verify information or work. Their expertise helps ensure that reports, evaluations, or decisions are trustworthy and meet required standards. For investors, a qualified person provides confidence that the information they rely on is credible and properly validated.
forward-looking information regulatory
"This news release contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation."
Forward-looking information are predictions, plans, estimates or expectations about a company’s future performance, results or events, such as sales forecasts, project timelines, or anticipated costs. It matters to investors because these statements guide expectations but rely on assumptions and uncertain factors—like a weather forecast for a business—so investors should treat them as informed guesses rather than guarantees and consider the risks and possible changes behind the numbers.
