Estimation and Reporting of Mineral
Reserves - Mining Factors
Describe;
Method and assumptions used in the PFS or FS
to convert the Mineral Resource to Mineral
Reserve ie by pit optimisation, preliminary or
detailed design.
The parameters used to derive the cut-off grade.
The choice of, the nature and appropriateness of
the selected mining method(s), the size of the
selected mining unit (LxWxH)

Open Pit Mining Factors
Describe;
The assumptions made regarding geotechnical
parameters eg. Pit slopes, pre-production drilling
and structural geology;
Geo-hydrological status – extent of water testing,
is the pit slope design dry or wet; and
The Mineral Resource model used for pit
optimisation Smallest Mining Unit (SMU)
