All of the "reserves" and "resources" described and documented by previous operators are considered to be "Historic
Resources" under NI 43-101, as they were estimated prior to February 1, 2001. Solid is not treating any of the estimates
as a current NI 43-101-compliant resource, and the historical estimates should not be relied upon, however,
management does consider these to be accurate and is taking measures to upgrade to a NI 43-101 compliant resource.
