亮點

  • Newly found and reviewed historical data report historical uranium resources between 15.7 million pounds and 30.1 million pounds eU308 at Copper Mountain (with different reports focusing on different areas and applying different estimation criteria).
  • 新發現和審查的歷史數據報告歷史鈾資源量在1570萬磅到3010萬磅之間3.3.08個個在銅山(不同的報告側重於不同的地區,並採用不同的估計標準)。
  • Rocky Mountain Energy Corporation ("RMEC" - a subsidiary of Union Pacific) estimated the resource potential of 2 of the 5 deposits at Copper Mountain could be as high as 63.8 million pounds eU3O8.
  • 落基山能源公司(RMEC)--聯合太平洋公司的子公司--估計了這一資源潛力銅山5個礦藏中的2個可能高達6380萬歐元3.3.O8.
  • The ground considered in these historical estimates is largely within the current claim boundaries of the "Copper Mountain Project", in which Myriad holds an earnable 75% interest.
  • 這些歷史估計中考慮的理由在很大程度上處於“銅山專案”目前的索賠範圍內,Myriad在該專案中擁有75%的可賺取權益。
  • RMEC had constructed a leach pad and was poised to begin mining at Copper Mountain, within the Copper Mountain Project claim area, only to be interrupted by a rapid decline in uranium prices in 1980 following the Three Mile Island incident.
  • RMEC建造了一個浸出場,並準備開始在銅山專案索賠區域內的銅山採礦,但在三裡島事件後,1980年鈾價迅速下跌而中斷了開採。
  • Historical reports indicate that while known resources at Copper Mountain, once verified, could provide the basis for production, there also appears to be world class potential in "brownfield" exploration opportunities based on modern techniques and understanding.
  • 歷史報告表明,雖然銅山的已知資源一旦得到證實,就可以為生產提供基礎,但基於現代技術和理解,“棕地”勘探機會似乎也具有世界級的潛力。
  • The historical reports also indicate that Copper Mountain contains a core of high-grade material which has not been calculated to date, and that further understanding of the geometry and continuity of the high-grade portions of the deposits could lead to a significant increase in average grade.
  • 歷史報告還表明,銅山含有迄今尚未計算的高品位物質的核心,進一步瞭解礦床高品位部分的幾何結構和連續性可能會導致平均品位大幅提高。
  • Historical reports confirm amenability of Copper Mountain material to heap leach and are cautiously optimistic regarding potential for in situ recovery methods.
  • 歷史報告證實了銅山材料對堆浸的適應性,並對原地回收方法的潛力持謹慎樂觀態度。
  • The above information still needs to be verified, but we are confident that the historical work undertaken is relevant based on the amount and quality of the work done.
  • 上述資訊仍需核實,但我們相信,根據所做工作的數量和質量,所開展的歷史性工作是相關的。

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 31, 2023) - MYRIAD URANIUM CORP. (CSE: M) (OTCQB: MYRUF) (FSE: C3Q) ("Myriad" or the "Company") is pleased to report on historical resource estimates contained in a trove of recently-purchased data relating to the Copper Mountain Uranium Project in Wyoming, USA. This should be considered an interim report because the data review is ongoing. Myriad holds an option to earn up to 75% of the project from Rush Rare Metals Corp. ("Rush"). Currently, the project (the "Copper Mountain Project") comprises 110 mineral claims aggregating 1,911 acres (Figure 1).

溫哥華,不列顛哥倫比亞省-(Newsfile Corp.-2023年10月31日)-Myriad鈾業公司。 (CSE:M)(OTCQB:MYRUF)(FSE:C3Q)Myriad(“Myriad”或“公司”)很高興地報告最近購買的有關美國懷俄明州銅山鈾礦專案的數據中包含的歷史資源估計。這應被視為中期報告,因為數據審查正在進行中。Myriad有權從Rush Rare Metals Corp.(簡稱Rush)手中獲得該專案最高75%的股份。目前,該專案(“銅山專案”)包括總計1,911英畝的110個礦藏主張(圖1)。

The Copper Mountain area contains several known uranium deposits and past-producing uranium mines, including the Arrowhead mine which produced 500,000 lbs U3O8 in the 1950s and 60s. During the period 1969 to 1980, Rocky Mountain Energy Corp. ("RMEC") spent approximately US$74 million (2023 dollars) exploring and developing Copper Mountain, drilling up to 2,000 boreholes and developing a mine plan and constructing a leach pad for the Canning Deposit. Low uranium prices following 1979's Three Mile Island incident intervened and RMEC ceased operations there.

銅山地區有幾個已知的鈾礦和過去生產的鈾礦,包括生產50萬磅鈾的箭頭礦。3.3.O8.20世紀50年代和60年代。1969年至1980年期間,落基山能源公司(RMEC)花費了約7400萬美元(2023美元)勘探和開發銅山,鑽探了多達2000個鑽孔,制定了採礦計劃,並為罐裝礦床建造了一個浸出場。1979年S三裡島事件後的低鈾價介入,RMEC停止了在那裡的運營。

All of this activity generated a vast amount of paper-based data, reportedly contained in hundreds of boxes, the existence and location of which is largely unknown. For that reason, the recently purchased data and its resource estimates were not available to the author of Rush's March 2023 Technical Report respecting the Copper Mountain Project. In fact, the phase 1 recommendation in the Technical Report was to obtain historic data, if possible, otherwise a maiden drill program would be required.

所有這些活動產生了大量紙質數據,據報道,這些數據包含在數百個盒子裡,這些數據的存在和位置在很大程度上不為人知。出於這個原因,Rush的2023年3月關於銅山專案的技術報告的作者無法獲得最近購買的數據及其資源估計。事實上,技術報告中的第一階段建議是,如果可能的話,獲取歷史數據,否則將需要一個初始的鑽探計劃。

"We got lucky," commented Myriad's CEO, Thomas Lamb. "And kudos to Rush's CEO Pete Smith. This first trove, acquired in part due to a chance encounter, and acquired much sooner than anyone expected, contains several high-quality management summaries and technical reports spanning Copper Mountain's history. We believe the resource estimates they contain vault us into an entirely different category. While the known resources at Copper Mountain, once verified, could provide the basis for production, there also appears to be world class potential in "brownfield" exploration opportunities based on modern techniques and understanding. Also ISR amenability, if confirmed, would be a game-changer. Memoranda in the purchased data-and the views of our own ISR experts-are cautiously optimistic. These possibilities will be explored in the future. As you can see, there is a great deal to come. To use a baseball metaphor, the bases are loaded with nobody out."

“我們很幸運,”Myriad的首席執行官託馬斯·蘭姆評論道。並向Rush的首席執行官皮特·史密斯致敬。這第一個寶藏部分是由於一次偶然的相遇而獲得的,獲得的時間比任何人預期的都要快得多,其中包含幾個跨越銅山歷史的高質量管理摘要和技術報告。我們相信,它們所包含的資源估計將我們帶入了一個完全不同的類別。雖然銅山的已知資源一旦得到證實,就可以為生產提供基礎,但基於現代技術和理解,“棕地”勘探機會似乎也具有世界級的潛力。此外,如果ISR的順從性得到確認,將改變遊戲規則。購買的數據中的備忘錄--以及我們自己ISR專家的觀點--是謹慎樂觀的。這些可能性將在未來進行探索。正如你所看到的,未來會有很多事情發生。用棒球的比喻來說,壘上沒有人出局。

The resource estimates in the purchased data vary widely depending on the combination of deposits considered, the method of estimation, cut-off grades applied and several other factors. The stated range of resources is 15.7 Mlbs eU3O8 to 30.1 Mlbs eU3O8, but RMEC believed that additional sources could bring this total as high as 63.8 Mlbs (RMEC, 1978). Some of the estimates relate only to Canning, for example, which has generally been the focus of most exploration attention at Copper Mountain. Other estimates include most or all of the known deposits at Copper Mountain, the majority of which are within the Copper Mountain Project. Another point of concern is whether a "delayed fission neutron" (or "DFN") factor should be applied to correct grades.

根據所考慮的礦藏組合、估算方法、所應用的邊際品位和其他幾個因素,所購數據中的資源估算差別很大。所述資源範圍為1570萬歐元3.3.O8個個至3010萬歐盟3.3.O8.,但RMEC認為,額外的來源可以使這一總數高達6380萬磅(RMEC,1978)。例如,一些估計只與坎寧有關,這通常是銅山勘探最受關注的焦點。其他估計包括銅山已知礦藏的大部分或全部,其中大部分位於銅山專案內。另一個令人關注的問題是,是否應該應用“延遲裂變中子”(或“DFN”)係數來修正等級。

A review by Neutron Energy in 2008 attempted to summarize all the resource estimates to that date and provided an apt summary of the positive prospects for Copper Mountain while also effectively noting the caution that must be applied:

中子能源公司2008年的一份評估報告試圖總結到目前為止的所有資源估計,並對銅山的積極前景進行了恰當的總結,同時也有效地注意到了必須採取的謹慎措施:

"There are a multitude of ore or resource calculations. Resources have been calculated by using polygons, sections, plan maps, grade thickness and geostatistics. Some calculations are widely optimistic while others are quite pessimistic. A few can be considered pie-in-the-sky guesses. For some calculations, the reserves are based on gross gamma probe data. Others use probe data corrected with DFN analysis. Geostatistical calculations were done by consultants that were considered the top of the field. The resource studies have been exhaustive and comprehensive, but unfortunately not conclusive... It has been stated over and over again that there is a substantial resource of uranium in the Canning-Fuller zone. With only a cursive examination of the sections and drill hole data, it is obvious that higher grade zones exist at both Canning and Fuller. Some of the grades are very impressive. The high-grade core at Canning has received attention. What cannot be determined with existing data is the degree of continuity of the higher-grade material."

“有大量的礦石或資源計算。利用多邊形、剖面圖、平面圖、品位厚度和地質統計學計算了資源量。一些計算結果普遍樂觀,而另一些則相當悲觀。有幾個可以被認為是天上掉餡餅的猜測。對於某些計算,儲量是基於總伽馬探測數據。其他人使用DFN分析校正的探針數據。地質統計學計算是由被認為是該領域頂級的顧問完成的。資源研究是詳盡和全面的,但不幸的是,沒有結論性的。人們一再指出,坎寧-富勒地區有大量的鈾資源。僅粗略地檢查了剖面和鑽孔數據,很明顯,在坎寧和富勒都存在更高等級的區域。有些成績令人印象深刻。坎寧的高品位核心受到了關注。用現有數據無法確定的是高等級材料的連續性程度。”

A report by Liller (1991), a geologist who was reviewing a vast Copper Mountain dataset of 250 boxes at the time, made the following comment regarding the high-grade reserve potential at Copper Mountain. It may be useful to keep it in mind as the reader reviews the resource estimates that follow:

Liller(1991年)是一位地質學家,當時他正在審查一個巨大的250個箱子的Copper Mountain數據集,他對Copper Mountain的高品位儲量潛力發表了以下評論。在讀者審查以下資源估計數時,不妨牢記這一點:

"The Copper Mountain Uranium Project contains a core of high-grade reserves which has not been calculated to date. The emphasis of the RMEC work was the identification of a very large bulk tonnage uranium deposit to which economies of scale could be applied. As such they were successful in identifying the Canning deposit and its satellites. Little attention was paid to the structural controls of the orebody or the geometry of the high-grade portions of the deposits. It was not until the Fluor reserve study in 1980 that the basic geometry of the Canning deposit, the most densely drilled of all areas, was even realized. In 1981 RMEC undertook a study on the high-grade material along structures in two separate subareas and demonstrated the continuity of high-grade ore within discrete structural zones. High grade mineralization is also hosted in vein-like bodies of syenite containing specular hematite and in portions of the Tertiary section. No detailed modeling of the geometry and projection of the syenite bodies or Tertiary hosted ore was attempted... Further understanding of the geometry and continuity of the high-grade portions of the orebodies will lead to a better understanding of the reserves and significant increase in average grade."

“銅山鈾專案包含一個迄今尚未計算的高品位儲量核心。RMEC工作的重點是確定可適用規模經濟的超大型散裝噸位鈾礦床。因此,他們成功地確定了坎寧礦床及其衛星。很少有人注意到礦體的構造控制或礦床高品位部分的幾何形狀。直到1980年的Fluor儲量研究,Canning礦床的基本幾何形狀才得以實現,Canning礦床是所有地區中鑽探最密集的。1981年,RMEC對兩個獨立分區的構造沿線的高品位礦石進行了研究,並證明瞭離散構造帶內高品位礦石的連續性。高品位礦化也存在於含鏡狀赤鐵礦的正長巖脈狀體和第三紀部分。沒有嘗試對正長巖體或第三紀礦石的幾何形狀和投影進行詳細建模。進一步瞭解礦體高品位部分的幾何形狀和連續性將有助於更好地瞭解儲量和顯著提高平均品位。”

While Myriad has determined that the historical estimates which follow are relevant to the Copper Mountain Project area and are reasonably reliable given the authors and circumstances of their preparation, and are suitable for public disclosure, readers are cautioned to not place undue reliance on these historical estimates as an indicator of current mineral resources or mineral reserves at the project area. A qualified person (as defined under NI 43-101) has not done sufficient work to classify any of the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and Myriad is not treating the historical estimates as a current mineral resource or mineral reserve. Also, while the Copper Mountain Project area contains all or most of each deposit referred to, some of the resources referred to sit outside the current Copper Mountain Project area. Furthermore, the estimates are decades old and based on drilling data for which the logs are, as of yet, predominantly unavailable. The resource estimates, therefore, should not be unduly relied upon.

雖然Myriad已確定以下歷史估計與Copper Mountain專案區域相關,並且鑑於其編制的作者和情況,這些歷史估計是合理可靠的,並且適合公開披露,但請讀者注意不要過度依賴這些歷史估計作為專案區域當前礦產資源或礦產儲量的指標。合資格人員(定義見NI 43-101)未做足夠的工作將任何歷史估算歸類為當前礦產資源或礦產儲量,Myriad未將歷史估算視為當前礦產資源或礦產儲量。此外,雖然銅山專案區包含所有或大部分提到的每一個礦床,一些資源提到坐在目前的銅山專案區以外。此外,這些估計是幾十年前的估計,所依據的是鑽井數據,而迄今為止,這些數據的測井記錄基本上無法獲得。因此,不應過分依賴資源估計數。

HISTORICAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES

歷史資源量估算

What follows are discussions on different references to resource estimates reported for projects within the Copper Mountain district. These estimates are historic in nature, are not NI 43-101 compliant and should not be relied upon.

以下是對銅山地區專案所報告的資源估計數的不同參考資料的討論。這些估計是歷史性的,不符合NI 43-101標準,不應依賴。

Rocky Mountain Energy Corp. (1978)

洛基山能源公司(1978年)

The earliest historical resource estimate is from Rocky Mountain Energy's 1978 3rd Quarter Report.

最早的歷史資源估計來自落基山能源公司1978年的3研發季度報告。

RMEC estimated a total of 21.1 Mlbs eU3O8 in the Canning Pit area alone. The entire Canning and Fuller Zones were estimated to contain between 39.7 - 63.8 Mlbs of eU308 at 0.02% and 0.01% cut-off respectively, using the polygonal slice method. This relates to only 2 of the 5 deposits that RMEC was aware of at Copper Mountain (Canning and Fuller). The following table is reproduced from the report.

RMEC估計總共有2110萬磅eU3.3.O8.在坎寧坑地區整個Canning和Fuller區估計含有39.7 - 63.8 Mlbs eU3.3.08.分別在0.02%和0.01%截止值下,使用多邊形切片法。這僅涉及RMEC在Copper Mountain發現的5個礦床中的2個(Canning和Fuller)。下表摘自該報告。

RMEC based the estimates in the report on extensive drilling, stating that "Drilling during the third quarter dramatically increased the total indicated resources. At a 0.01% eU308 cut-off, there appears to be a minimum of at least 64 million pounds of contained U308." The term "Indicated" in this context presumably refers generally to estimated resources, rather than the official resource category of "Indicated Resources" that we use today.

RMEC在報告中的估計是基於廣泛的鑽探,指出“第三季度的鑽探大大增加了總的指示資源。0.01% eU3.3.08.截止日期,似乎至少有6400萬磅的美國核武器3.3.08..“在這方面,“指示性”一詞大概一般指的是估計資源,而不是我們今天使用的“指示性資源”這一官方資源類別。

The exact number of boreholes to the date of the estimate is not indicated but can be derived to be in the order of 1,800. By 1980 the number of boreholes drilled at Copper Mountain was in the order 1,850, and another report in the purchased data states that approximately 50 boreholes were drilled in 1979. By 1980, according to numerous sources, approximately 900,000 feet of drilling had been conducted at Copper Mountain across approximately 1,850 boreholes.

到估計日期為止的鑽井的確切數目沒有說明,但可以推斷約為1 800個。到1980年,在Copper Mountain鑽的井眼數量約為1,850個,購買的數據中的另一份報告稱,1979年鑽了大約50個井眼。到1980年,根據許多消息來源,在銅山大約1,850個鑽孔中進行了大約900,000英尺的鑽探。

The RMEC report states that the Canning zone (located near the centre of the Myriad/Rush Copper Mountain Project area) was largely defined on 200-foot centers. Drilling of the test pit area at the west end of the Canning zone to 100-foot centres was nearly completed as at the date of the report.

RMEC報告指出,坎寧區(位於Myriad/Rush Copper Mountain專案區中心附近)主要以200英尺為中心。截至本報告編寫之日,在坎寧區西端至100英尺中心的試驗坑區域的鑽探已接近完成。

The report's estimate does not use categories other than "Mineral Resource" and "Mineral Reserve". The report states: "Three sets of reserves were developed. Reserves were calculated for the Canning pit, the resources for the entire Canning zone were developed, and finally the resources for Fuller area were calculated. Drilling since the inception of the current program have greatly added to the reserves."

該報告的估計沒有使用“礦產資源”和“礦產儲備”以外的類別。報告稱:“開發了三套儲量。計算了罐裝礦坑的儲量,開發了整個罐區的資源,最後計算了富勒地區的資源。自當前計劃開始以來,鑽探大大增加了儲量。”

Regarding reliability, the report also stated that plans called for, inter alia, economic analysis and sensitivity studies, mining studies through column analysis and similar programs, reserve calculation and chemical to probe correction factors, and pit optimization, and concludes "that there is now enough data to make studies of this nature meaningful."

關於可靠性,報告還指出,計劃要求,除其他外,經濟分析和敏感性研究,通過柱分析和類似程式進行的採礦研究,儲量計算和化學探測修正因素,以及礦坑優化,並得出結論“現在有足夠的數據使這種性質的研究有意義。”

Inherent imitations of the estimates include that the nature of the mineralisation (fracture hosted) makes estimation from drill data less reliable than other deposit types (e.g, those that are thick and uniform). From Myriad's viewpoint, limitations include that the Company has not been able to verify the data itself and that the estimate may be optimistic relative to subsequent work which applied a "delayed fission neutron" factor to calculate grades. DFN is controversial, in that the approach is viewed by some experts as too conservative, but it was nevertheless applied in future resource calculations relating to Copper Mountain.

估算的內在類比包括礦化(賦存裂隙)的性質使鑽探數據估算的可靠性低於其他類型的礦床(例如,厚度較大且均勻的礦床)。從Myriad的觀點來看,限制包括該公司無法核實數據本身,而且相對於隨後應用“延遲裂變中子”係數來計算等級的工作,估計可能是樂觀的。DFN是有爭議的,因為這種方法被一些專家認為過於保守,但它仍然被應用於未來與銅山有關的資源計算。

Fluor Metals and Mining, Inc. (1980)

福陸金屬和礦業公司(1980)

A resource estimate by Fluor Metals and Mining, Inc., commissioned by RMEC and published in 1980, is described in detail in a number of subsequent technical documents and is often relied upon as a robust "conservative case" estimate. Myriad has not yet located a copy of the Fluor report, but reference to it by almost all subsequent experts reporting on Copper Mountain warrants its inclusion here. The details and extracts presented are from a Neutron Uranium, Inc. Technical Report prepared by G.S. Carter of Broad Oak Associates dated August 20, 2008.

由RMEC委託並於1980年出版的Fuor Metals and Mining,Inc.的資源估計在隨後的一些技術檔案中進行了詳細描述,經常被視為可靠的“保守情況”估計。Myriad尚未找到福陸報告的副本,但幾乎所有後續報告銅山的專家都提到了該報告,因此有理由將其列入本文。本文的詳細內容和摘錄摘自中子鈾公司的一份技術報告,該報告由BRoad Oak Associates的G.S.Carter於2008年8月20日編寫。

Fluor's goals were stated as: correction for "disequilibrium"; construction of a three-dimensional dowel-rod model; geostatistical structural analysis; determination of global grade-tonnage curves; creation of a computerized block model: and development of a bulk sampling program. Fluor investigated various resource estimation techniques including polygonal methods, cross-sectional methods, ordinary kriging, and a method using conditional lognormal probability distributions, which was the chosen method.

福陸公司的目標是:糾正“不平衡”;建立一個三維樁-桿模型;地質統計學結構分析;確定全球品位-噸位曲線;創建一個電腦化的區塊模型;以及開發一個批量抽樣程式。福陸研究了各種資源估計技術,包括多邊形法、橫斷面法、普通克裡格法和使用條件對數正態概率分佈的方法,這是所選擇的方法。

The Fluor estimate was reported as a "geostatistical ore reserve analysis" for the "Canning area" which includes some of the surrounding uranium deposits. It also included reserve and mineable reserve estimates for the "Canning deposit", as distinct from the "Canning area". In addition, the Fluor report refers to "proven and global reserves". Only "Mineral Resource" and "Mineral Reserve" are defined at sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI 43-101. "Mineable", "Proven", and "Global" reserves, all used by Fluor, are not.

福陸的估計被報道為“罐區”的“地質統計礦石儲量分析”,該區域包括一些周圍的鈾礦。它還包括“罐裝礦床”的儲量和可開採儲量估計,與“罐區”截然不同。此外,福陸報告還提到了“已探明的全球儲量”。NI 43-101第1.2和1.3節只定義了“礦產資源”和“礦產儲量”。福陸使用的“可開採”、“已探明”和“全球”儲量都不是。

Fluor used a conditional lognormal probability distributions method to calculate its estimates and applied a delayed fission neutron (DFN) adjustment which reduced the grades. The application of DFN was the subject of considerable discussion, since other factors were thought to compensate in the other direction. Since Fluor's probe adjustments are in one direction only, their 1980 estimates are the most conservative in the purchased data.

福陸使用條件對數正態概率分佈方法來計算其估計值,並應用了延遲裂變中子(DFN)調整,從而降低了等級。DFN的適用是大量討論的主題,因為其他因素被認為在另一個方向上起到了補償作用。由於福陸探測器的調整隻是單向的,他們1980年的估計在購買的數據中是最保守的。

Fluor also included a milling option in its estimates. The economic criteria used by Fluor were as follows (1980 US dollars):

福陸還在其估計中包括了一項碾磨選項。福陸使用的經濟標準如下(1980美元):

Mining cost (ore and waste): $1.47/per short ton
Milling cost: $15.02/per short ton
Mining recovery: 97%
Milling recovery: 91%
採礦成本(礦石和廢料): 每短噸1.47元
研磨成本: 每短噸15.02美元
採礦回收: 百分之九十七
銑削回收量: 百分之九十一

Fluor estimated the following resources for the "Canning Area" using DFN assay data to define tons and grades at a cut-off of 0.01% U3O8:

福陸公司使用DFN化驗數據,以0.01%U為下限,估算了“罐區”的以下資源,以確定噸和品級。3.3.O8.

Deposit Million Short Tons Contained U3O8 (Mlbs)
Canning 25.98 8.79
Fuller 4.71 1.54
Mine 3.68 1.41
Allard 3.81 3.81
Hesitation 4.06 1.3
TOTALS 42.24 14.64
存款 萬短噸 包含的U3.3.O8.(百萬磅)
罐頭 25.98 8.79
富勒 4.71 1.54
我的 3.68 1.41
阿拉德 3.81 3.81
猶豫不決 4.06 1.3
合計 42.24 14.64

Limitations of the estimates discussed above include that the nature of the mineralisation at Copper Mountain (fracture hosted) makes estimation from drill data less reliable than other deposit types (e.g, those that are thick and uniform) and that the "delayed fission neutron" factor used to calculate grades is somewhat controversial, in that the approach is viewed by some experts as too conservative. G.S. Carter, the author of the Neutron Energy, Inc. report, was not able to verify the data utilized to prepare the Fluor Report, as the raw drill hole data was not accessible to him. However, various progress reports prepared by RMEC staff and selected radiometric logs published in a US Department of Energy report (Sayala and others. 1982) were available to Mr. Carter for review. From Myriad's viewpoint, limitations include that the Company has not yet been able to verify the data either.

上述估計的侷限性包括,銅山(含裂隙)礦化的性質使鑽探數據估計的可靠性低於其他類型的礦床(例如,厚而均勻的礦床),以及用於計算品位的“延遲裂變中子”係數有些爭議,因為一些專家認為該方法過於保守。中子能源公司報告的作者G.S.卡特無法核實用於準備福陸報告的數據,因為他無法獲得原始的鑽孔數據。然而,RMEC工作人員準備的各種進度報告和美國能源部報告(Sayala等)中公佈的選定輻射日誌。1982年)提供給卡特先生進行審查。從Myriad的角度來看,限制包括該公司還無法核實數據。

Fluor stated "Proven" and "Global" reserves for the "Canning Deposit" as follows:

福陸公司對“罐裝礦藏”的“已探明”和“全球”儲量陳述如下:

"Proven reserves" at 0.010% cut-off contained 6.22 mm Ibs U308
"Proven reserves" at 0.015% cut-off contained 4.77 mm lbs U308
"Proven reserves" at 0.020% cut-off contained 3.69 mm Ibs U308
"Proven reserves" at 0.025% cut-off contained 2.89 mm Ibs U308

"Global reserves" at 0.020% cut-off contained 5.84 mm lbs U308
"Global reserves" at 0.025% cut-off contained 4.51 mm lbs U308

“全球儲備”0.010%的截止值包含10.49mlbs U3.3.08.
“全球儲備”在0.015%的下限包含7.74mlbs U3.3.08.
“全球儲備”在0.020%的臨界值包含5.84mlbs U3.3.08.
“全球儲備”在0.025%的截止值下包含4.51毫米磅的U3.3.08.

Fluor also estimated mineable reserves for the "Canning deposit", which used a conventional milling option with resin-in-pulp/solvent extraction rather than other options that were considered, including heap leaching and vat leaching. Maximum case mineable reserves (assuming $60/lb uranium) were estimated for the Canning deposit at up to 4.096 Mlbs U308 at 0.010% cut-off, and 2.432 Mlbs at 0.025% cut-off. Reserves were considered non-mineable at $40/lb using a 0.01% cut-off.

福陸還估計了“罐裝礦藏”的可開採儲量,該礦藏採用傳統的磨礦方式,採用樹脂漿/溶劑浸出,而不是考慮的其他方案,包括堆浸和還原浸出。坎寧礦床的最大可開採儲量(假設鈾60美元/磅)估計高達4.096百萬磅鈾。3.3.08個個0.010%的分水嶺,0.025%分界線的2.432磅。儲量被認為是不可開採的,每磅40美元,下限為0.01%。

Liller Report (1991)

Liller Report(1991)

Anaconda Resources Inc.'s Summary Report of the Copper Mountain Uranium Project, by Gregory K. Liller, dated April, 1991, contains a detailed summary of exploration and development at Copper Mountain up to that date, and also a resource estimate which is based on all of the historical work by RMEC and also the Fluor report discussed above. It appears he had access to the entire RMEC data set and the original Fluor report. Mr. Liller does use the term "contained drill proven resources". A detailed breakdown of drilling conducted to support the resource estimate is provided by Mr. Liller and reproduced below.

Anaconda Resources Inc《銅山鈾專案總結報告》,格雷戈裡·K·Liller於1991年4月發佈的報告包含了截至該日期Copper Mountain勘探和開發的詳細摘要,以及基於RMEC所有歷史工作和上文討論的Fluor報告的資源估計。他似乎可以訪問整個RMEC數據集和原始Fluor報告。Liller先生確實使用了“受控鑽探證實資源”一詞。Liller先生提供了為支持資源估計數而進行的鑽探的詳細細目,轉載如下。

Mr. Liller expressly confirms certain facts that Myriad had understood from other documents in the recently purchased data, the principal one being the amenability of Copper Mountain material to heap leach. Liller writes that "heap leach amenability has already been established by RMEC and numerous third parties". and "...an order of magnitude study that includes preliminary flowsheet design, equipment lists and capital requirement costs should be prepared."

Liller先生明確證實了Myriad公司從最近購買的數據中的其他檔案中瞭解到的某些事實,其中主要的事實是Copper Mountain材料適合堆浸。Liller寫道,“RMEC和許多第三方已經確定了堆浸的適用性”.和“...應編制一份數量級研究報告,其中包括初步流程圖設計、設備清單和資本需求成本。”

He also states that: "The heap leach mining option appears to be economically viable at this time [April 1991, when uranium prices were roughly US$11/lb]. This conclusion is based upon data contained in the Fluor reserve study and the metallurgical studies conducted by CSMRI. In order to advance the project in this direction the following steps should be undertaken: [1] A bulk sample should be obtained from the Canning deposit. This will enable metallurgical and process design parameters to be firmly established. [2] An order of magnitude study needs to be performed in order to establish the economic parameters.

他還說:“堆浸採礦方案在目前看來在經濟上是可行的[1991年4月,當時鈾價約為每磅11美元].這一結論是基於氟儲量研究和CSMRI進行的冶金研究中包含的數據。為了在這方面推進專案,應採取以下步驟:[1]應從Canning礦床獲得大量樣品。這將使冶金和工藝設計參數得以牢固確立。[2]為了確定經濟參數,需要進行數量級研究。

Utilizing the Fluor calculated reserve base, average industry mining and processing costs, and reagent cost estimates derived from RMEC, third party studies and other sources it is estimated that operating costs in would be in the $7.00 per pound range. Potential operating costs may also be significantly reduced by capitalizing a pre-stripping of waste."

利用Fluor計算的儲量基數、平均工業開採和加工成本以及從RMEC、第三方研究和其他來源得出的試劑成本估計值,估計運營成本將在每磅7.00美元的範圍內。通過將廢物的預剝離資本化,還可以大大降低潛在的運營成本。”

Liller's reported resource and reserve estimates, which are connected to his heap leach comments above, are summarised in the following tables. Liller relies on a combination of RMEC and Fluor data, as he indicates in the tables below which are extracted from his report.

Liller報告的資源量和儲量估計(與其上述堆浸評論有關)匯總於下表。Liller依賴於RMEC和Fluor數據的組合,如下表所示,這些表摘自他的報告。

RMEC drilled approximately 1,850 holes totaling over 900,000 feet of combined core and hammer drilling. The following tabulates the total number of holes, footage and drilling method completed during exploration and development programs.

RMEC鑽了大約1,850個孔,總長度超過900,000英尺,採用了岩心和錘鑽相結合的方法。下表列出勘探及開發計劃期間完成的鑽孔總數、進尺及鑽探方法。

The Canning deposit was the subject of detailed reserve studies by RMEC. The following are the results of a reserve study conducted by Fluor Mining & Metals, Inc. All grade values have been converted to probe eU3O8 values. As previously noted, only "mineral resource" and "mineral reserve" are defined at sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI 43-101. "Mineable", "proven", and "global" reserves, all used by Fluor, are not.

Canning礦床是RMEC詳細儲量研究的主題。以下是Fluor Mining & Metals,Inc.進行的儲量研究結果。所有等級值均已轉換為探頭eU3.3.O8.價值觀如前所述,NI 43-101第1.2節和第1.3節僅界定了“礦產資源”和“礦產儲量”。福陸公司所使用的“可開採”、“已探明”和“全球”儲量都不是。

Limitations of the estimates discussed in the Liller Report include that the nature of the mineralisation at Copper Mountain (fracture hosted) makes estimation from drill data less reliable than other deposit types (e.g, those that are thick and uniform) and that the "delayed fission neutron" factor used in some cases to calculate grades is somewhat controversial, in that the approach is viewed by some experts as too conservative. However, Mr. Liller had access to over 250 file boxes (2 tons) of data acquired from Union Pacific Resources, including the results of over 900,000 feet of hammer tool and core drilling, the resultant gamma logs and core assays; metallurgical test results; process design studies; resource and reserve calculations; engineering and feasibility studies; and environmental studies and baseline permitting data. From Myriad's viewpoint, limitations include that the Company has not yet been able to verify the data either.

Liller報告中討論的估計的侷限性包括Copper Mountain的礦化性質(斷裂託管)使得根據鑽井數據進行的估計不如其他礦床類型(例如,厚且均勻的礦床)可靠,並且在某些情況下用於計算品位的“延遲裂變中子”因數有些爭議,因為一些專家認為該方法過於保守。然而,Liller先生可以查閱從聯合太平洋資源公司獲得的250多個檔案箱(2噸)的數據,包括900 000多英尺的錘擊工具和岩心鑽探的結果、由此產生的伽馬測井和岩心分析;冶金測試結果;工藝設計研究;資源和儲量計算;工程和可行性研究;環境研究和基線許可數據。從Myriad的角度來看,侷限性包括該公司尚未能夠核實數據。

A.C.A Howe International Ltd Report (1997)

A.C.A.豪國際有限公司報告(1997年)

Anaconda Uranium Corporation commissioned A.C.A. Howe International Ltd. (Howe) to prepare a second review report, authored by Bojan Zabev and dated 22 August 1997, to be included in a prospectus. The report was prepared through a review of a database provided to them and did not include a thorough review of original data. However, unlike the Liller review, this report included a comparison between natural gamma probe and delayed fission neutron (DFN) derived eU3O8 grades generated by RMEC. The summary of RMEC resources based on these differences is presented in the table below:

Anaconda鈾公司委託A.C.A.請Howe International Ltd.(Howe)編寫第二份審查報告,由Bojan Zabev撰寫,日期為1997年8月22日,將其列入一份說明書。該報告是通過審查向他們提供的資料庫編寫的,沒有包括對原始數據的徹底審查。然而,與Liller評論不同,該報告包括自然伽馬探測器和延遲裂變中子(DFN)衍生eU之間的比較。3.3.O8.RMEC生成的等級。下表列出了根據這些差異得出的風險管理和監測委員會資源摘要:

Including the Gem and Arrowhead resources, the total contained pounds (eU3O8) using probe grades is 25.78 Mlbs versus 15.3 Mlbs using DFN results, which represents a substantial difference. Howe concluded that RMEC's use of the DFN values is conservative and may underreport the true grade of the deposit. They recommended that the problem of Probe vs DFN discrepancy be reviewed to establish more reliable grade values.

包括Gem和Arrowhead資源在內,總量包含磅(eU3.3.O8.使用探針等級的結果為25.78 Mlbs,而使用DFN結果的結果為15.3 Mlbs,這代表了實質性差異。Howe得出結論,RMEC使用DFN值是保守的,可能低估了礦床的真實品位。他們建議審查探針與DFN差異的問題,以建立更可靠的等級值。

Limitations of the estimates discussed in the A.C.A. Howe Report include that the nature of the mineralisation at Copper Mountain (fracture hosted) makes estimation from drill data less reliable than other deposit types (e.g, those that are thick and uniform) and that the "delayed fission neutron" factor used in some cases to calculate grades is somewhat controversial, in that the approach is viewed by some experts as too conservative. Mr. Zabev did not visit the project area, but this was not deemed necessary as he had access to RMEC's extensive database which included the results of over 900,000 feet of hammer tool and core drilling, the resultant gamma logs and core assays, metallurgical test results, process design studies, reserve calculations, engineering and feasibility studies, and environmental studies and baseline permitting data. He did not conduct a thorough review of the data because it was "beyond the scope of this exercise". From Myriad's viewpoint, limitations include that the Company has not yet been able to verify the data either.

ACA.Howe報告中討論的估計的侷限性包括,銅山(含裂隙)礦化的性質使得從鑽探數據進行估計的可靠性低於其他類型的礦床(例如,厚而均勻的礦床),以及在某些情況下用於計算品位的“延遲裂變中子”因素有點有爭議,因為一些專家認為該方法過於保守。扎貝夫先生沒有訪問專案區,但他認為沒有必要這樣做,因為他可以訪問RMEC的大量資料庫,其中包括超過900,000英尺的錘擊工具和岩心鑽探結果、由此產生的伽馬測井和岩心分析、冶金測試結果、工藝設計研究、儲量計算、工程和可行性研究、環境研究和基線許可數據。他沒有對數據進行徹底的審查,因為它是超出了本練習的範圍從Myriad的觀點來看,限制包括該公司還無法核實數據。

DEPOSIT SUMMARY

存款匯總表

The following summarizes the geology, mode of occurrence and extent of exploration and development efforts directed towards the individual deposits (as summarized by Liller, 1991), based on the reports discussed above.

下文根據以上討論的報告,概述了針對個別礦床的地質、賦存模式和勘探和開發工作的程度(如Liller,1991年總結的那樣)。

Canning:

坎寧:

The Canning deposit is the largest of the known deposits and has received the greatest amount of drilling. The deposit contains a resource in excess of 19 million pounds of uranium hosted in the shattered and brecciated hanging wall of an east-west trending fault. Smaller amounts of ore are present in the Wagon Bed sediments. Mineable reserves as determined by Fluor Mining & Metals Inc., are 9 million pounds uranium at a waste to ore ratio of 4.25 to 1. A review of various uranium deposits shows this to be a relatively low strip ratio. The following is a breakdown of the drilling statistics.

坎寧礦藏是已知礦藏中最大的,也是鑽探數量最多的。該礦床蘊藏著超過1900萬磅的鈾資源,賦存於一條東西走向斷層的破碎角礫狀上盤中。馬車床沉積物中的礦石數量較少。福陸礦業和金屬公司確定的可開採儲量為900萬磅鈾,廢料與礦石的比率為4.25:1。對各種鈾礦的審查表明,這是一個相對較低的條帶比率。以下是鑽探統計數據的細目。

Fuller:

富勒:

The Fuller deposit was one of the first Precambrian hosted uranium deposits discovered. It contains a resource of 2.6 million pounds uranium including 110,000 pounds at a shallow depth. The Fuller deposit while primarily being hosted in structurally prepared granite, contains high grade mineralization in a vein-like body of quartz syenite. Ore grade mineralization is also present in the Wagon Bed sediments. The following is a tabulation of the drilling completed on the Fuller deposit to date.

富勒礦床是第一批發現的前寒武紀鈾礦床之一。它含有260萬磅的鈾資源,其中11萬磅位於淺水深處。富勒礦床雖然主要賦存於構造準備的花崗巖中,但在脈狀石英正長巖體中含有高品位礦化。馬車床沉積物中也存在礦石品位礦化。以下是迄今為止在富勒礦床上完成的鑽探工作的表格。

Mint-Allard:

薄荷-阿拉德:

The Mint-Allard are two adjoining deposits containing a combined resource of 5.1 million pounds uranium. Ore is hosted in structurally prepared granite and in Tertiary sediments. Oil staining was common in drill cuttings and methane-hydrogen sulfide was encountered during drilling operations. The following is a breakdown of the drilling done to date.

造幣廠-阿拉德是兩個毗鄰的礦床,總資源為510萬磅鈾。礦石賦存於構造準備的花崗巖和第三系沉積物中。鑽屑中油汙較多,鑽井作業中會遇到甲烷-硫化氫。以下是到目前為止完成的鑽探的細目。

Hesitation:

猶豫:

The Hesitation deposit contains a resource of 2.2 million pounds uranium. Ore is primarily found in brecciated zones associated with two faults, one an east-west trending structure, the other a northerly trending structure. The area was initially prospected because of surface showings in Tertiary sediments. The following is a tabulation of drilling on the Hesitation deposit.

猶豫不決礦床蘊藏著220萬磅的鈾。礦石主要產於與兩條斷裂有關的角礫巖中,一條是東西走向的構造,另一條是北向的構造。該地區最初的勘探是因為第三系沉積物中的地表顯示。以下是在猶豫型礦床上的鑽探情況。

Arrowhead:

箭頭:

The Arrowhead deposit includes the historic Arrowhead-Little Moe mine which has produced in excess of 500,000 pounds of uranium at a grade of 0.15% eU3O8 from shallow underground workings. Unlike the other deposits in the project area, Tertiary sediments host the majority of the current resources. RMEC estimates approximately 500,000 pounds remain in this area. This area apparently did not receive the same in-depth evaluation as the other deposits. The following tabulates the drilling of this deposit.

箭頭礦床包括歷史悠久的箭頭-小莫埃礦,該礦生產了超過50萬磅的鈾,品位為0.15%歐盟3.3.O8.從淺層的地下工作場所。與專案區的其他礦床不同,第三系沉積物擁有目前資源的大部分。RMEC估計這一地區仍有大約50萬英鎊。這一地區顯然沒有得到與其他礦床同樣深入的評價。下面列出了這個礦床的鑽探情況。

Gem:

《寶石》:

The Gem deposit is near the old Gem Pit which contains the best exposure of Precambrian hosted ore available in the project area. Stockpiles of ore mined during the 1950's, adjacent to the mine, reportedly average 0.07% eU3O8. The stockpiles were apparently never sampled by RMEC. The Gem deposit as defined by RMEC lies to the west of the old pit under a cover of sediments. This area was investigated primarily as a source for a shallow bulk sample and contains 600,000 pounds of uranium as currently defined. The following is a breakdown of drilling to date.

寶石礦藏位於舊寶石礦坑附近,該礦坑包含了專案區內可用的前寒武紀賦存礦石的最佳暴露。據報道,S礦附近1950年代開採的礦石儲量平均為0.07%歐盟3.3.O8.。顯然,RMEC從未對這些庫存進行過抽樣。按照RMEC的定義,寶石礦床位於老礦坑以西,覆蓋著沉積物。這一地區的調查主要是作為淺層大宗樣品的來源進行的,按照目前的定義,該地區含有60萬磅鈾。以下是迄今為止鑽探的細目。

Notes:

備註:

  1. These are historically reported resources and are not considered NI 43-101 compliant.
  2. Summed totals may vary due to rounding differences.
  1. 這些是歷史上報告的資源,不被視為符合NI 43-101。
  2. 總計可能會因四捨五入差異而有所不同。

The large variance between the "high" resources for Canning and Fuller as reported by RMEC (1978) and later reports has not yet been fully explained. This will form part of the detailed review and digitization process over the next few months, as new information becomes available.

RMEC(1978)報告的坎寧和富勒的“高”資源與後來的報告之間的巨大差異尚未得到充分解釋。隨著新資訊的出現,這將成為未來幾個月詳細審查和數字化進程的一部分。

As previously noted, a qualified person (as defined under NI 43-101) has not done sufficient work to classify any of the historical estimates as current mineral resource or mineral reserve, and Myriad is not treating the historical estimates as a current mineral resource or mineral reserve.

如前所述,合格人士(根據NI 43-101的定義)沒有做足夠的工作來將任何歷史估計歸類為當前礦產資源或礦產儲量,Myriad沒有將歷史估計視為當前礦產資源或礦產儲量。

WORK REQUIRED AND EXPLORATION POTENTIAL

需要做的工作和勘探潛力

In order to verify the historical resources and potentially re-state them as current resources, a program of digitization of data will be required, followed by re-logging and/or re-drilling to generate new data that is comparable with the original data that can be used to establish the correlation and continuity of geology and grades between boreholes with sufficient confidence to estimate mineral resources. More details on this planned work will be provided in future updates.

為了核實歷史資源,並可能將其重新表述為當前資源,將需要一個數據數位化計劃,然後重新錄井和/或重新鑽探,以生成可與原始數據相媲美的新數據,這些數據可用於建立鑽孔之間地質和等級的相關性和連續性,並有足夠的信心評估礦產資源。關於這項計劃工作的更多細節將在今後的更新中提供。

It is noteworthy that, in addition to the various non-43-101 compliant resource estimates, many of the reports in the purchased data indicate potential for significant exploration upside, especially at the less-drilled satellite areas outside the Canning zone where especially high grades were encountered but so far have not been followed up. Myriad will report more fully on this "brownfield" exploration potential in future press releases.

值得注意的是,除了各種不符合43-101標準的資源估計數外,所購數據中的許多報告表明,勘探有大幅上升的潛力,特別是在坎寧區以外鑽探較少的衛星地區,這些地區遇到了特別高的品位,但迄今尚未採取後續行動。Myriad將在未來的新聞稿中更全面地報道這一“棕地”勘探潛力。

CONCLUSION

結論

Thomas Lamb commented generally about the new data, "this find represents an enormous head-start for Myriad at Copper Mountain, and it's just the beginning: we expect a great deal of additional historical data to be located. Not only do we now benefit from tens of millions of dollars in past work by many of the leading uranium geologists at the time, we also see that Copper Mountain was worthy of investment in a full-scale mining operation. Liller's report discussed above even notes that 'The heap leach mining option appears to be economically viable at this time', which was 1991. Overall, this newly purchased trove of data gives us excellent guidance as to where the uranium is, and how to best extract it. Given new and increasing demand for uranium, especially uranium sourced from stable and mining friendly jurisdictions like Wyoming, we firmly believe we may have found an enormous uranium asset in Copper Mountain."

託馬斯·蘭姆對新數據發表了大致的評論,這一髮現代表著Myriad在銅山的巨大領先地位,而這只是個開始:我們預計將找到大量額外的歷史數據。我們現在不僅受益於許多當時領先的鈾地質學家過去數千萬美元的工作,而且我們還看到,銅山值得投資於一項全面的採礦作業。利勒在上面討論的報告中甚至指出,在1991年的這個時候,堆浸採礦方案似乎在經濟上是可行的。總體而言,這個新購買的數據寶庫為我們提供了關於鈾在哪裡以及如何最好地提取它的極好指導。鑑於對鈾的新的和不斷增長的需求,特別是來自懷俄明州這樣穩定和礦業友好的司法管轄區的鈾,我們堅信我們可能在銅山發現了巨大的鈾資產。“

ABOUT THE COMPANY

關於公司

Myriad Uranium Corp. is a uranium exploration company with an earnable 75% interest in the Copper Mountain Uranium Project in Wyoming, USA. Copper Mountain hosts several known uranium deposits and historic uranium mines, including the Arrowhead Mine which produced 500,000 lbs of eU3O8. Copper Mountain saw extensive drilling and development by Rocky Mountain Energy, a subsidiary of Union Pacific, which developed a mine plan and built a leach pad for one of the deposits at Copper Mountain. Operations ceased in 1980 before mining could commence due to falling uranium prices. Approximately 2,000 boreholes have been drilled at Copper Mountain and the project area has significant exploration upside. Rocky Mountain Energy is estimated to have spent US$74 million (2023 dollars) exploring and developing Copper Mountain.

Myriad鈾礦公司是一家鈾礦勘探公司,在美國懷俄明州的銅山鈾礦專案中擁有75%的可賺取權益。銅山擁有幾個已知的鈾礦和歷史悠久的鈾礦,包括生產了50萬磅歐盟鈾的箭頭礦3.3.O8.。聯合太平洋的子公司洛基山能源公司(Rocky Mountain Energy)對銅山進行了廣泛的鑽探和開發,該公司制定了採礦計劃,並為銅山的一個礦床建造了浸出墊。由於鈾價下跌,採礦作業於1980年停止,之後才能開始採礦。銅山已鑽探了約2,000個井眼,該專案區具有顯著的勘探優勢。據估計,落基山能源已經花費了7400萬美元(2023年美元)來勘探和開發銅山。

Myriad also holds 80% ownership of over 1,800 km2 of uranium exploration licenses in the Tim Mersoï Basin, Niger, and the option to earn up to 100%. These licenses are surrounded by many of the most significant uranium deposits in Africa, including Orano's 384 Mlbs eU3O8 Imouraren, Global Atomic's 236 Mlbs Dasa, and Goviex's 100 Mlbs Madaouela, and on the same fault structures. Myriad also has a 50% interest in the Millen Mountain Property in Nova Scotia, Canada, with the other 50% held by Probe Metals Inc. For further information, please refer to Myriad's disclosure record on SEDAR+ (), contact Myriad by telephone at +1.604.418.2877, or refer to Myriad's website at .
