43-101 Definitions
|
|||
indicated
mineral resource
|
The
term “indicated mineral resource” refers to that part of a mineral
resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and
physical characteristics can be established with a level of confidence
sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and
economic
parameters, to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic
viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable
exploration and testing information gathered through appropriate
techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings
and
drill holes that are spaced closely enough for geological and grade
continuity to be reasonably assumed.
|
||
inferred
mineral resource
|
The
term “inferred mineral resource” refers to that part of a mineral resource
for which quantity and grade or quality can be estimated on the basis
of
geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed,
but not
verified, geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based
on
limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques
from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill
holes.
|
||
measured
mineral resource
|
The
term “measured mineral resource” refers to that part of a mineral resource
for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical
characteristics are so well established that they can be estimated
with
confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical
and economic parameters to support production planning and evaluation
of
the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed
and reliable exploration, sampling and testing information gathered
through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches,
pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough to
confirm
both geological and grade continuity.
|
||
mineral
reserve
|
The
term “mineral reserve” refers to the economically mineable part of a
measured or indicated mineral resource demonstrated by at least a
preliminary feasibility study. The study must include adequate information
on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic, and other relevant
factors
that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction
can
be justified. A mineral reserve includes diluting materials and allowances
for losses that might occur when the material is
mined.
|
mineral
resource
|
The
term “mineral resource” refers to a concentration or occurrence of
natural, solid, inorganic or fossilized organic material in or on
the
Earth’s crust in such form and quantity and of such a grade or quality
that it has reasonable prospects for economic extraction. The location,
quantity, grade, geological characteristics and continuity of a mineral
resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological
evidence and knowledge.
|
||
probable
mineral reserve
|
The
term “probable mineral reserve” refers to the economically mineable part
of an indicated, and in some circumstances a measured mineral resource
demonstrated by at least a preliminary feasibility study. This study
must
include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical,
economic, and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time
of
reporting, that economic extraction can be justified.
|
||
proven
mineral reserve1
|
The
term “proven mineral reserve” refers to the economically mineable part of
a measured mineral resource demonstrated by at least a preliminary
feasibility study.
|
||
qualified
person2
|
The
term “qualified person” refers to an individual who is an engineer or
geoscientist with at least five years of experience in mineral
exploration, mine development, production activities and project
assessment, or any combination thereof, including experience relevant
to
the subject matter of the project or report and is a member in good
standing of a self-regulating
organization.
|
SEC
Industry Guide 7
Definitions
|
exploration
stage
|
An
“exploration stage” prospect is one which is not in either the development
or production stage.
|
||
development
stage
|
A
“development stage” project is one which is undergoing preparation of an
established commercially mineable deposit for its extraction but
which is
not yet in production. This stage occurs after completion of a feasibility
study.
|
||
mineralized
material3
|
The
term “mineralized material” refers to material that is not included in the
reserve as it does not meet all of the criteria for adequate demonstration
for economic or legal extraction.
|
||
probable
reserve
|
The
term “probable reserve” refers to reserves for which quantity and grade
and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used
for
proven (measured) reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling,
and
measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced.
The
degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven reserves,
is high
enough to assume continuity between points of
observation.
|
||
production
stage
|
A
“production stage” project is actively engaged in the process of
extraction and beneficiation of mineral reserves to produce a marketable
metal or mineral product.
|
proven
reserve
|
The
term “proven reserve” refers to reserves for which (a) quantity is
computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings
or drill
holes; grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed
sampling and (b) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement
are
spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that
size,
shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are
well-established.
|
||
reserve
|
The
term “reserve” refers to that part of a mineral deposit which could be
economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the
reserve
determination. Reserves must be supported by a feasibility study
done to
bankable standards that demonstrates the economic extraction. (“Bankable
standards” implies that the confidence attached to the costs and
achievements developed in the study is sufficient for the project
to be
eligible for external debt financing.) A reserve includes adjustments
to
the in-situ tonnes and grade to include diluting materials and allowances
for losses that might occur when the material is
mined.
|
1
For
Industry Guide 7 purposes this study must include adequate information
on
mining, processing, metallurgical, economic, and other relevant factors
that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction
is
justified.
2
Industry
Guide 7 does not require designation of a qualified person.

This
category is substantially equivalent to the combined categories of
measured and indicated mineral resources specified in NI
43-101.

Other
long-term liabilities represent asset retirement obligations. Asset
retirement obligations include several estimates about future reclamation
costs, mining schedules, timing of the performance of reclamation
work and
the quantity of ore reserves which in turn determine the ultimate
closure
date, which in turn impacts the discounted amounts of future asset
retirement liabilities. The discounted value of these projected cash
flows
is recorded as “Accrued site closure costs” of $7.1 million as shown on
the balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 (full value is $13.3 million
before removing 50% joint venture interest). The amount shown above
is
undiscounted to show full expected cash requirements to Apollo (full
value
is $19.6 million before removing 50% joint venture interest). As
of
December 31, 2006, restricted cash of $4.6 million ($8.0 million
before
removing 50% joint venture interest) has been placed in trust as
security
relating to the asset retirement
obligation.

MONTANA
TUNNELS JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT AND RELATED

(a)
|
Joint
Venture Agreement at Montana
Tunnels
|
·
|
Elkhorn
earned a 50% interest in the Mine when it made its full contribution
of
$13 million upon signing the $3.73 million promissory note effective
December 31, 2006.
|
·
|
MTMI
is the operator of the Mine. A separate committee consisting of two
designees from each of MTMI and Elkhorn will oversee the joint
venture.
|
·
|
Elkhorn
will receive 55% and Apollo will receive 45% of the positive free
cash
flow, as defined in the JV agreement, from the Mine until such time
as
Elkhorn has received cash flow of $13 million (at which time Apollo
will
have received $10.6 million). At that time, Apollo would become entitled
to 60% and Elkhorn 40% of the positive free cash flow from the Mine,
until
both parties have received an equal amount. Thereafter, the sharing
would
be 50/50. Additionally, Elkhorn is entitled to a preferential interest
distribution on its initial contribution of $13 million until it
has
received cash flow of $13 million.
