Separately, as of January 01, 2006, HudBay estimated aggregate inferred mineral resources Noun 1. mineral resources - natural resources in the form of minerals natural resource, natural resources - resources (actual and potential) supplied by nature at its 777, Trout Lake and Chisel North Mines in Northern Manitoba and its Balmat Mine project in New York State of 4,940,000 tonnes at 1.2 g/t gold 19.1 g/t silver, 1.0% copper and 7.45% zinc. The categorization of measured and indicated mineral resource is determined in a 12-step process, which includes determination of the integrity and validation of the data collected, including, confirmation of specific gravity specific gravity, ratio of the weight of a given volume of a substance to the weight of an equal volume of some reference substance, or, equivalently, the ratio of the masses of equal volumes of the two substances. , assay results and methods of data recording. The process also includes determining the appropriate geological model, selection of data and the application of statistical models including probability plots and restrictive kriging to establish continuity and model validation. The resultant estimates of measured and indicated mineral resources are converted to proven and probable mineral reserves by the application of mining dilution and recovery, as well as the determination of economic viability using historical operating costs operating costs npl → gastos mpl operacionales . Other factors such as depletion from production are applied as appropriate. Long term metal prices, including premiums used for economic viability of the 2006 mineral reserves, were US $400 oz. gold, US $6.00 oz. silver, US $0.91 lb. copper and US $0.52 lb. zinc. The 2006 measured and indicated mineral resource estimates were prepared under the supervision of Kim Lau, B.Sc., P.Geo, who is employed by Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co., Limited (HBMS HBMS Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting (Manitoba, Canada) ) as Superintendent, Mining Technical Services and who is a Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
