Normal data verification procedures have been used in collecting, compiling, interpreting and processing the data used to estimate resources and reserves.  Data verification includes quality assurance and quality control procedures put in place by the Company, and reviews by independent consultants of drill hole information on geological sections prepared by the Company and such previous owners.
  7. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
  8. Development of Certej is dependent on successful environmental permitting.
