Mineral Resource Estimation for Yaou & Dorlin / Scoping Study

The objectives of phase 1 were to collect the data/documents in Auplata’s possession that were relevant to carry out the geological and mining studies, and more generally, the studies needed to develop the deposits of Yaou, Dorlin, Dieu Merci, Couriège, Bon Espoir and Iracoubo Sud, and to create a documentary database integrating these data/ documents.
The objective of the second phase was to define the optimal methodology to obtain the resources indicated for Auplata’s deposits (Yaou, Dorlin, Dieu Merci, Couriège, Bon Espoir and Iracoubo Sud). Here ‘optimal methodology’ means a methodology maximising the chances of achieving the objective, i.e. obtaining the resources indicated, in a cost-effective manner.
