Clarification of Consolidated Woodjam Copper Corp's April 14, 2020 News Release
The Company wishes to clarify several inconsistencies that exist between Consolidated Woodjam Copper Corp.'s news release dated April 14, 2020 titled Consolidated Woodjam Copper Discusses the Woodjam Gold Endowment and the two 2013 Gold Fields authored NI-43-101 reports from which the news release derives. The conclusion of the NI 43-101 Technical Report for 2012 Activities on the Woodjam South Property CARIBOO MINING DIVISION British Columbia, do not support the statement the "exceptional gold potential of the Woodjam copper gold project" as the gold content declared in the mineral resource statement is restricted to the two smaller satellite deposits, the Deerhorn and Takom deposits, of the Woodjam property that collectively comprise approximately 10% of the mineral resource base.
In 2013 Gold Fields published NI 43-101 resources for three zones: Southeast Zone, Deerhorn Zone and Takom Zone. The porphyry system at Woodjam responsible for the five zones of mineralization that have now been discovered have two predominant characters: one being high-K calc-alkalic and copper sensitive (typified by the Southeast Zone, where the preponderance of the identified inferred resource exists, and the other being sub-alkalic and gold sensitive.
NI 43-101 resources prepared by Gold Fields and previously reported are as follows:
Inferred Category | Tonnes (Mt) | Au Grade (Gpt) | Cu Grade (%) | Metal (Au, Koz) | Metal (Cu, MLb) |
Deerhorn (*b) | 32.8 | 0.49 | 0.22 | 516.2 | 158.2 |
Takom (*b) | 8.3 | 0.26 | 0.22 | 68.2 | 39.7 |
Southeast (*a) | 221.7 | See notes below | 0.31 | See notes below | 1,507.1 |
(*a filed on Sedar, July 8, 2013, *b filed on Sedar July 9, 2013):
Note: (Southeast Zone Resource notes from Sherlock and Trueman, May 15, 2013)
1. The Au grade is 0.05 gpt for 391.1 koz, a portion of which may be recovered as a by-product,
2. These Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic
viability,
3. NSR calculation uses USD 1,650/oz Au, USD 3.90/lb Cu and recoveries of 69% Au and 85% Cu,
4. The Mineral Resource is reported at a USD 8.60/t NSR cut-off constrained within an optimized pit
Shell,
5. The pit shell is based on a price assumption of USD 1,650/oz Au & USD 3.90/lb Cu,
6. On May 30, 2013, a topography correction was made to the geologic model, and as a result the
Inferred Mineral Resource figures changed to 221.7 Mt at 0.31% Cu for 1507.1 Mlb Cu and 383.7 koz
Au.
The April 14th news release reported the Southeast mineral resource as 227.5 MT at 0.31% Cu containing 1,541.9 Mlb Cu. This mineral resource has been subsequently revised to 221.7 Mt at 0.31% Cu containing 1,507.1 Mlb Cu. The Company does not consider this to be a material revision.
