In December 2014, the Company achieved a corporate milestone in delivering its JORC MRE for the BIF 1 iron ore project. A total resource of 514.5Mt @ 31.8% Fe was identified and total oxide resource of 55.5Mt @ 45.39% Fe. In July 2015, the Company defined a JORC Exploration Target on its Ferensola Gold Project. The Exploration Target centres on Sanama Hill, with a tonnage range of between 5 and 7 million tonnes ("Mt"), grading at between 4 and 8 g/t Au, which equates to between 0.8 and 1.5 million ounces ("Moz") Au.
