Historical Mineral Resource
Estimates
All mineral resources estimates presented in
this news release are considered to be “historical estimates” as
defined under NI 43-101, and have been derived from the following
(See notes below). In each instance, the historical estimate is
reported using the categories of mineral resources and mineral
reserves as defined by the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral
Reserves, and mineral reserves at that time, and these “historical
estimates” are not considered by ATHA to be current. In each
instance, the reliability of the historical estimate is considered
reasonable, but a Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to
classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource, and
ATHA is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral
resource. The historical information provides an indication of the
exploration potential of the properties but may not be
representative of expected results.
Notes on the Historical Mineral Resource
Estimate for the Angilak Deposit:
- This estimate is considered to be a “historical estimate” under
NI 43-101 and is not considered by any of to be current. See below
for further details regarding the historical mineral resource
estimate for the Angilak Property.
- Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have
demonstrated economic viability.
- The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by
geology, environment, permitting, legal, title, taxation,
sociopolitical, marketing or other relevant issues.
- The quality and grade of the reported inferred resource in this
estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient
exploration to define these inferred resources as an indicated or
measured mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further
exploration will result in upgrading them to an indicated or
measured resource category.
- Contained value metals may not add due to rounding.
- A 0.2% U3O8 cut-off was used.
- The mineral resource estimate contained in this press release
is considered to be “historical estimates” as defined under NI
43-101 and is not considered to be current.
- The “historical estimate” is derived from a Technical Report
entitled “Technical Report and Resource Update For The Angilak
Property, Kivalliq Region, Nunavut, Canada”, prepared by Michael
Dufresne, M.Sc., P.Geol. of APEX Geosciences, Robert Sim, B.Sc.,
P.Geo. of SIM Geological Inc. and Bruce Davis, Ph.D., FAusIMM of BD
Resource Consulting Inc., dated March 1, 2013 for ValOre Metals
Corp.
- As disclosed in the above noted technical report, the
historical estimate was prepared under the direction of Robert Sim,
P.Geo, with the assistance of Dr. Bruce Davis, FAusIMM, and
consists of three-dimensional block models based on geostatistical
applications using commercial mine planning software. The project
limits area based in the UTM coordinate system (NAD83 Zone14) using
nominal block sizes measuring 5x5x5m at Lac Cinquante and 5x3x3 m
(LxWxH) at J4. Grade (assay) and geological information is derived
from work conducted by Kivalliq during the 2009, 2010, 2011 and
2012 field seasons. A thorough review of all the 2013 resource
information and drill data by a Qualified Person, along with the
incorporation of subsequent exploration work and results, which
includes some drilling around the edges of the historical resource
subsequent to the publication of the 2013 technical report, would
be required in order to verify the Angilak Property historical
estimate as a current mineral resource.
- The historical mineral resource estimate was calculated in
accordance with NI 43-101 and CIM standards at the time of
publication and predates the current CIM Definition Standards for
Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (May, 2014) and CIM
Estimation of Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves Best
Practices Guidelines (November, 2019).
- A thorough review of all historical data performed by a
Qualified Person, along with additional exploration work to confirm
results would be required to produce a current mineral resource
estimate prepared in accordance with NI 43-101.
- Notes on the Historical Mineral Resource Estimate for
the Moran Lake Deposit:
- Jeffrey A. Morgan, P.Geo. and Gary H. Giroux, P.Eng. completed
a NI 43-101 technical report titled “Form 43-101F1 Technical Report
on the Central Mineral Belt (CMB) Uranium Project, Labrador,
Canada, Prepared for Crosshair Exploration & Mining Corp.” and
dated July 31, 2008, with an updated mineral resource estimate for
the Moran Lake C-Zone along with initial mineral resources for the
Armstrong and Area 1 deposits. They modelled three packages in the
Moran Lake Upper C-Zone (the Upper C Main, Upper C Mylonite, and
Upper C West), Moran Lake Lower C-Zone, two packages in Armstrong
(Armstrong Z1 and Armstrong Z3), and Trout Pond. These mineral
resources are based on 3D block models with ordinary kriging used
to interpolate grades into 10 m x 10 m x 4 m blocks. A cut-off
grade of 0.015% U3O8 was used for all zones other than the Lower C
Zone which employed a cut-off grade of 0.035%. A thorough review of
all historical data performed by a Qualified Person, along with
additional exploration work to confirm results, would be required
to produce a current mineral resource estimate prepared in
accordance with NI 43-101 standards.
- Notes on the Historical Mineral Resource Estimate for
the Anna Lake Deposit:
- The mineral resource estimate contained in this table is
considered to be a “historical estimate” as defined under NI
43-101, and is not considered to be current and is not being
treated as such. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to
classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources. A
qualified person would need to review and verify the scientific
information and conduct an analysis and reconciliation of
historical drill and geological data in order to verify the
historical estimate as a current mineral resource.
- Reported by Bayswater Uranium Corporation in a Technical Report
entitled “Form 43-101 Technical Report on the Anna Lake Uranium
Project, Central Mineral Belt, Labrador, Canada”, prepared by R.
Dean Fraser, P.Geo. and Gary H. Giroux, P.Eng., dated September 30,
2009.
- A 3-dimensional geologic model of the deposit was created for
the purpose of the resource estimate using the Gemcom/Surpac
modeling software. A solid model was created using a minimum grade
x thickness cutoff of 3 meters grading 0.03% U3O8. Intersections
not meeting this cutoff were generally not incorporated into the
model. The shell of this modeled zone was then used to constrain
the mineralization for the purpose of the block model. Assay
composites 2.5 meters in length that honoured the mineralized
domains were used to interpolate grades into blocks using ordinary
kriging. An average specific gravity of 2.93 was used to convert
volumes to tonnes. The specific gravity data was acquired in-house
and consisted of an average of seventeen samples collected from the
mineralised section of the core. The resource was classified into
Measured, Indicated or Inferred using semi-variogram ranges applied
to search ellipses. All resources estimated at Anna Lake fall under
the “Inferred” category due to the wide spaced drill density. An
exploration program would need to be conducted, including twinning
of historical drill holes in order to verify the Anna Lake Project
estimate as a current mineral resource.
