The attached table summarizes the Black Creek chromite mineral resource estimate at a cut-off grade of 30 per cent chromium (III) oxide.

         SUMMARY OF BLACK CREEK CHROMITE RESOURCES                                   
                                                                           
Category              Tonnes     Avg. Cr2O3 (%)   Cr:Fe Ratio

Measured (M)       3,729,000             39.90            1.8
Indicated (I)      1,985,000             40.06            1.8
Total M & I        5,714,000             40.00            1.8
Inferred           2,726,000             40.99            1.9
NR   indicates.... 200M strike  length  and  65M  average  width and   175 thickness.... 
thus sp G  would   be  about 3.7  to   equal 8.4  MM  tones total
I think  3.7  is a little  high but  that  what makes  this   add  up.
200 x 175 x 65 x 3.7 = 8.4 MM tones

2nd   43 101
Drilling  confirmed increase in strike  length  of  115  meter tto 315M  and additional   depth to  320 meters.
If  the  width   remains  constant  then the  math  works  out  like  this:
315 x 320 x 65 x  3.7 = 24 MM  tones
Thats a  pretty  big  discrepancy especially  when the  cutoff  has  been  reduced from 30 to 20%
Something  just  doesn't  add  up  here!

The table summarizes the Black Creek chromite mineral resource estimate at a cut-off grade of 20 per cent Cr2O3 including internal waste.
