Notes: Mineral Resources are inclusive of Ore Reserves.
Resources were estimated using cut-off grades of 0.45g/t gold above 1,400m RL and 2.50g/t gold below 1,400m RL.
The Mineral Resources were split above and below the 1,400m RL to reasonably reflect the portions of the resource that may be mined via open pit and underground mining methods.
Further information on this Mineral Resource is available in the 4 February 2015 announcement: Independently Verified JORC Compliant Indicated Resource Reporting on Tulu Kapi Gold Deposit In Ethiopia.
