Notes to Investors
The mineral reserve and resource estimates reported in this presentation were prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43- 101Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), as required by Canadian securities regulatory authorities. For United States reporting purposes, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applies different standards in order to classify mineralization as a reserve. In particular, while the terms “measured,” “indicated” and “inferred” mineral resources are required pursuant to NI 43-101, the SEC does not recognize such terms. Canadian standards differ significantly from the requirements of the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories constitute or will ever be converted into reserves. In addition, “inferred” mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian securities laws, issuers must not make any disclosure of results of an economic analysis that includes inferred mineral resources, except in rare cases.
On February 4, 2014, Detour Gold announced an updated life of mine plan for the Detour Lake mine. The NI 43-101 compliant Technical Report for this update was filed on SEDAR on February 4, 2014. The following QPs participated in this update: BBA Inc., under the direction of André Allaire, Eng., Acting President and CEO and Patrice Live, Eng., Director Mining; SGS Canada Inc., under the direction of Yann Camus, Eng., Project Engineer, and Maxime Dupéré, P.Geo., Senior Geologist; and AMEC Environment & Infrastructure, a Division of AMEC Americas Limited, David G. Ritchie M.Eng., P.Eng, Senior Associate Geotechnical Engineer and Geotechnical Engineering Group Manager.
The scientific and technical content of this presentation has been reviewed, verified and approved by Drew Anwyll, P.Eng., Vice President of Operations, a Qualified Person as defined by Canadian Securities Administrators National Instrument 43-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects”.
Information Containing Estimates of Mineral Reserves and Resources
Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures
The Company has included “Total cash cost per gold ounce sold (TCC)” and “Adjusted net loss” in this presentation which are non-IFRS measures. The Company believes that these measures, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company and its ability to generate operating earnings and cash flow from its mining operations. Refer to the MD&A of June 30, 2014 or relevant period for reconciliation of these measures.
Detour Gold reports total cash costs on a sales basis. Total cash costs per gold ounce sold include production costs such as mining, processing, refining, site administration, costs associated with providing royalty in-kind ounces, and costs for agreements with Aboriginal communities, but are exclusive of depreciation and depletion, reclamation, non-cash share-based compensation and deferred stripping. Total cash costs are reduced by silver sales and divided by gold ounces sold to arrive at total cash costs per gold ounce sold. Further details regarding total cash costs per gold ounce sold and a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measures are provided in our MD&A accompanying our financial statements filed on www.sedar.com. Total cash costs plus capex per gold ounce sold includes TCC plus sustaining capital and deferred stripping divided by gold ounces sold. These non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers. Other companies may calculate this measure differently.
