The ultimate pit shell design was created using Surpac 6.8™ mining software and running a reserve report between this shell and the most recently surveyed topographic surface. The Mineral Reserve was derived from an ultimate pit shell design based on parameters from the pit shell used to constrain the Mineral Resource. "Open Pit" Indicated Category Mineral Resources reported below are inclusive of Mineral Reserves. Total Probable Mineral Reserve at Argyle is 535,592 tonnes at an average diluted gold grade of 2.06 g/t and contains 35,477 gold ounces at a strip ratio of 8.1 to 1 (Table 1).
