    Silsol. This announcement on the MMP has been ongoing for years. It has never been lodged with the NT mine department. Korab have not announced any third party support, they have no qualified people. Under JORC rules you cannot announce a PFS without a compliant resource statement (not just a competent person statement) and a reserve is required to be announced under the feasibility status. The shareholders have never received any of this information. What is the classification of the Ore Reserve? Where is the Table 1, Section 4 statement? This is a requirement if the announcement was in 2018????
    39. A Preliminary Feasibility Study (Pre-Feasibility Study) is a comprehensive study of a range ofoptions for the technical and economic viability of a mineral project that has advanced to a stagewhere a preferred mining method, in the case of underground mining, or the pit configuration, inthe case of an open pit, is established and an effective method of mineral processing is determined.It includes a financial analysis based on reasonable assumptions on the Modifying Factors andthe evaluation of any other relevant factors which are sufficient for a Competent Person, actingreasonably, to determine if all or part of the Mineral Resources may be converted to an OreReserve at the time of reporting. A Pre-Feasibility Study is at a lower confidence level than aFeasibility Study.As noted in Clause 29, formal assessment of all Modifying Factors is required in order to determine howmuch available Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources can be converted to Ore Reserves.A Pre-Feasibility Study will consider the application and description of all Modifying factors (as outlinedin Table 1, section 4) to demonstrate economic viability and to support an Ore Reserve Public Report.The Pre-Feasibility Study will identify the preferred mining, processing, and infrastructure requirementsand capacities, but will not yet have finalised these matters. Detailed assessments of environmental andsocio-economic impacts and requirements will also be well advanced. The Pre-Feasibility Study willhighlight areas that require further refinement within the final study stage.

    Commentary

    Mineral Resource estimate for conversion to Ore Reserves

    · Description of the Mineral Resource estimate used as a basis for the conversion to an Ore Reserve.

    · Clear statement as to whether the Mineral Resources are reported additional to, or inclusive of, the Ore Reserves.

    · Insert your commentary here…

    · If no site visits have been undertaken indicate why this is the case.

    ·

    Study status

    · The type and level of study undertaken to enable Mineral Resources to be converted to Ore Reserves.

    · The Code requires that a study to at least Pre-Feasibility Study level has been undertaken to convert Mineral Resources to Ore Reserves. Such studies will have been carried out and will have determined a mine plan that is technically achievable and economically viable, and that material Modifying Factors have been considered.

    ·

    Cut-off parameters

    · The basis of the cut-off grade(s) or quality parameters applied.

    ·

    Mining factors or assumptions

    · The method and assumptions used as reported in the Pre-Feasibility or Feasibility Study to convert the Mineral Resource to an Ore Reserve (i.e. either by application of appropriate factors by optimisation or by preliminary or detailed design).

    · The choice, nature and appropriateness of the selected mining method(s) and other mining parameters including associated design issues such as pre-strip, access, etc.

    · The assumptions made regarding geotechnical parameters (eg pit slopes, stope sizes, etc), grade control and pre-production drilling.

    · The major assumptions made and Mineral Resource model used for pit and stope optimisation (if appropriate).

    · The mining dilution factors used.

    · The mining recovery factors used.

    · Any minimum mining widths used.

    · The manner in which Inferred Mineral Resources are utilised in mining studies and the sensitivity of the outcome to their inclusion.

    · The infrastructure requirements of the selected mining methods.

    ·

    Metallurgical factors or assumptions

    · The metallurgical process proposed and the appropriateness of that process to the style of mineralisation.

    · Whether the metallurgical process is well-tested technology or novel in nature.

    · The nature, amount and representativeness of metallurgical test work undertaken, the nature of the metallurgical domaining applied and the corresponding metallurgical recovery factors applied.

    · Any assumptions or allowances made for deleterious elements.

    · The existence of any bulk sample or pilot scale test work and the degree to which such samples are considered representative of the orebody as a whole.

    · For minerals that are defined by a specification, has the ore reserve estimation been based on the appropriate mineralogy to meet the specifications?

    ·

    Environmen-tal

    · The status of studies of potential environmental impacts of the mining and processing operation. Details of waste rock characterisation and the consideration of potential sites, status of design options considered and, where applicable, the status of approvals for process residue storage and waste dumps should be reported.

    ·

    Infrastructure

    · The existence of appropriate infrastructure: availability of land for plant development, power, water, transportation (particularly for bulk commodities), labour, accommodation; or the ease with which the infrastructure can be provided, or accessed.

    ·

    Costs

    · The derivation of, or assumptions made, regarding projected capital costs in the study.

    · The methodology used to estimate operating costs.

    · Allowances made for the content of deleterious elements.

    · The source of exchange rates used in the study.

    · Derivation of transportation charges.

    · The basis for forecasting or source of treatment and refining charges, penalties for failure to meet specification, etc.

    · The allowances made for royalties payable, both Government and private.

    ·

    Revenue factors

    · The derivation of, or assumptions made regarding revenue factors including head grade, metal or commodity price(s) exchange rates, transportation and treatment charges, penalties, net smelter returns, etc.

    · The derivation of assumptions made of metal or commodity price(s), for the principal metals, minerals and co-products.

    · To the extent relevant, the impact of the following on the project and/or on the estimation and classification of the Ore Reserves:

    · Any identified material naturally occurring risks.

    · The status of material legal agreements and marketing arrangements.

    · The status of governmental agreements and approvals critical to the viability of the project, such as mineral tenement status, and government and statutory approvals. There must be reasonable grounds to expect that all necessary Government approvals will be received within the timeframes anticipated in the Pre-Feasibility or Feasibility study. Highlight and discuss the materiality of any unresolved matter that is dependent on a third party on which extraction of the reserve is contingent.

    ·

    Classification

    ·

    Discussion of relative accuracy/ confidence

    · Where appropriate a statement of the relative accuracy and confidence level in the Ore Reserve estimate using an approach or procedure deemed appropriate by the Competent Person. For example, the application of statistical or geostatistical procedures to quantify the relative accuracy of the reserve within stated confidence limits, or, if such an approach is not deemed appropriate, a qualitative discussion of the factors which could affect the relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate.

    · The statement should specify whether it relates to global or local estimates, and, if local, state the relevant tonnages, which should be relevant to technical and economic evaluation. Documentation should include assumptions made and the procedures used.

    · Accuracy and confidence discussions should extend to specific discussions of any applied Modifying Factors that may have a material impact on Ore Reserve viability, or for which there are remaining areas of uncertainty at the current study stage.

    · It is recognised that this may not be possible or appropriate in all circumstances. These statements of relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate should be compared with production data, where available.
