At a cut-off grade of 0.3% molybdenum, estimated indicated resources total 5.2 million tonnes at a grade of 1.0% molybdenum and 16 g/t rhenium, containing 52,000 tonnes of molybdenum and 83 tonnes of rhenium, plus additional inferred Resources totalling 3.5 million tonnes at a grade of 0.8% molybdenum and 14 g/t rhenium, containing 28,000 tonnes of molybdenum and 49 tonnes of rhenium.

The base case cut-off grade of 0.3% Mo was based on Mo at US$12/lb, Re at US$5/g, 90% and 80% recovery respectively, and a Mo %:Re ppm ratio of 16:1. Total production costs were based on A$120/tonne and 1$A = US$0.75.
