NI 43-101 Report and Annual Resource Updates for 7 Major Chinese Mines

In 2012, SRK was retained by Zijin Mining Group, one of the largest gold and copper producers in China, to produce an NI 43-101 report for public news release on the company’s seven major mines located in various provinces in China. In addition, SRK produced annual resource and reserve updates for these seven mines. To reconcile the resources and reserves previously reported under the Chinese national code with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and CIM definition, SRK carried out gap analysis, data verification, and re-estimation of resources and reserves.
