Mineral Resource

The historic pre-feasibility study (the “Historical Estimate”) for the Contact Copper Project was prepared by Hard Rock Consulting, LLC for International Enexco Limited (Enexco). This Historical Estimate updates the mineral resource estimate from the “NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Contact Copper Project Nevada” (October 2012), prepared by 3L Resources, Ltd.

The Historical Estimate indicates 58 million tonnes of “proven” 0.23% copper and 83 million tonnes of “probable” 0.21% copper for a total reserve estimate of 141 million tonnes of 0.22% copper at a 0.07% copper cut-off grade. Faraday Copper is reviewing project economics that suggests higher cut-offs of 0.15% and 0.20% copper, as reported in a previous estimate. 

Faraday Copper does not consider the noted Resource estimate as 'current' as a qualified person (as defined in National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”)) has not completed sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or reserves.
