The NI43-101 Technical Report was authored by MPR Geological Consultants Pty Ltd, and has an effective date of September 11, 2017. The Technical Report can be viewed under the Company's issuer profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The updated Mineral Resource estimated an Indicated Mineral Resource of 120 Mt grading 1.1 g/t Au for 4.3 Moz Au and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 84 Mt grading 1.2 g/t Au for 3.1 Moz Au, each at a 0.5 g/t Au cut off.
