Mangazeya Mining Limited announces significantly decreased Mineral Resources and

TORTOLA, BVI, Jan. 31, 2014 /CNW/ - Mangazeya Mining Ltd. (MGZ-H.V) ("Mangazeya" or the "Company") announces the completion of an updated NI 43-101 technical report titled "Mineral Resource and Reserve of the Savkino Gold Project, Chita Region, Russian Federation " (the "2014-Technical Report") dated January 31, 2014 for the Savkino Gold Mine in Siberia , Russia . The 2014-Technical Report was prepared by Micon International Co Limited ("Micon").


The 2014-Technical Report updates the technical report titled "Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimates of the Savkino Deposit, Zabaikalsky Territory, Russian Federation " (the "2011-Technical Report") dated December 13, 2011 prepared by JSC TOMS Engineering ("TOMS") on the Savkino Gold Mine.


The 2014-Technical Report estimates that Savkino gold deposit contains approximately 2.8 million tonnes of Proven and Probable reserves grading at 1.31 g/t, containing 119,350 ounces of gold, which is a 72.8% reduction in reserve ounces from the estimate contained in the 2011-Technical Report.


The updated mineral resource and reserve estimates are set out in the tables below.


The 2014-Technical Report will be filed on SEDAR within 45 days.


Highlights:



  • The gold ounces contained in each resource and reserve category have been revised as follows:

    • Measured and Indicated Resources reduced by approximately 32% (156 koz);

    • Inferred Resources reduced by approximately 38% (13 koz); and

    • Proven and Probable reserves reduced by approximately 73% (320 koz).



  • The reduction of tonnage in each resource and reserve category has been revised as follows:

    • Measured and Indicated Resources reduced by approximately 48% (6,565 kt);

    • Inferred Resources reduced approximately 65% (847 kt); and

    • Proven and Probable reserves reduced by approximately 78% (10,218 kt).



  • The reduction in resources occurred, in part, because the Micon estimate is constrained within a pit shell and the TOMS estimate accounts for the entire block model.

  • The reduction in reserves occurred, in part, as a result of differences in the gold price, mining and process costs, process recovery, and that Micon has only included oxide material (transition and primary material is treated as waste).


At the request of Mangazeya, Micon prepared the 2013-Technical Report describing the mineral resources and reserves of Mangazeya's Savkino gold mine and heap leach operation located in the Zabaikalsky Territory of the Russian Federation . The report was prepared in accordance with the Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").


Mineral Resources:


Micon has prepared an updated Mineral Resource estimate for the Savkino project mineralised zones that have sufficient data to allow for continuity of geology and grades.


A summary of the Mineral Resources is provided in Table 1.

  1. Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of Mineral Reserves.

  2. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves are not required to demonstrate economic viability.

  3. Mineral Resources are reported below the 31st August 2013 mined surface and constrained using a pit shell provided by the Company.

  4. Mineral Resources are reported to a cut-off grade of 0.50 g/t Au.

  5. The above mineral resource estimate is classified in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum's "CIM Definition Standards - For Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves" in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101.


To the best knowledge of the author the stated mineral resources are not materially affected by any known environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-economic, marketing, political or other relevant issues, unless stated elsewhere in this report.


Micon has completed a basic comparison with the 2011-Technical Reports mineral resource estimate prepared by TOMS in order to evaluate the differences observed between the two results, summarised in Table 2. Both estimates are presented at a cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au. The approximate production from the Savkino Central Zone (open pit) between the two estimates is approximately 1.029 Mt, comprising 692 kt in 2012 plus 337 kt from the first 8 months of 2013.


It is clear that the tonnage figures for both estimates are vastly different. The main, and simple reason for this is that Micon has constrained the block model within a pit shell. The TOMS mineral resource estimate appears to comprise the entire block model, not constrained within any pit shell. The entire Micon block model, with no cut-off applied and not constrained, equates to a comparable 12.2 Mt versus the total of 13.6 Mt in the TOMS resource estimate; noting an extraction of circa 1 Mt from the 2012/13 production.


It should be noted that mineral resources must have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction; this implies a judgement in respect of the technical and economic factors likely to influence (economic) extraction. In order to meet this requirement Micon used the pit shell provided by the Company that has technical and economic factors applied in its generation to constrain the resource block model and produce a mineral resource that may be considered economically extractable. In accordance with the CIM guidelines, material outside of this pit shell (and considered uneconomic) is excluded from the mineral resource estimate.

What is shown is that the Micon mineral resource estimate (constrained within a pit shell) for the Central Zone contains 40% of the (Measured + Indicated) tonnes and approximately 53% of the contained gold metal compared to the TOMS estimate (not constrained).


It should be noted that only the Micon estimate is constrained within a pit shell and that the TOMS estimate accounts for the entire block model.


Mineral Reserves:


Mineral reserve estimation has been generated by estimating the tonnage and gold grade of all the ore types contained within the pit design and applying the mining dilution and loss factors (Note however that transition and primary material is treated as waste).


The final Proven and Probable mineral reserves at a cut-off grade of 0.40 g/t Au for the oxide only material is presented in Table 3.

  1. Mineral Resources are reported based on a cut-off grade of 0.40 g/t Au, gold price of US$1,300 /oz and recoveries of 70% (Central) and 70% (South West).


To the best of Micon's knowledge the mineral reserves are not materially affected by any known mining, metallurgical, infrastructure, permitting, or other relevant issues, unless stated elsewhere in this report.


In order to mine the above Mineral Reserves, transition and primary material (summarised in Table 4) will need to be extracted to stockpile (or waste), however this has not been included in the Mineral Reserve. For the purposes of the Mineral Reserve, this material has been reported as part of the 27.7 Mt of waste material contained in the mining schedule.

It should be noted that the Central Zone (open pit) contains 153 kt (at 1.62 g/t Au) of material (Type N/A) that has insufficient data to be categorised as either oxide, transition or primary, and as such has not been estimated as a Mineral Resource or Reserve. However, Micon believes that it is likely that this material is oxide, but until this is confirmed this material can only be treated as waste.


The mineral reserve below (Table 5) were estimated by Micon October 31, 2013 using a cut-off grade of 0.40 g/t Au for the oxide only material and by TOMS December 1, 2011 for all material.

As with the mineral resource estimates the biggest difference in the mineral reserve estimates are observed in the ore tonnage. Of the total Proven and Probable reserves the Micon estimate is some 78% less than the TOMS estimate, due largely to Micon restricting the estimate to oxide material only. In the Micon estimate transition and primary material is thus treated as waste. Aside from the fact that Micon has only included oxide material, as opposed to TOMS who have included oxide, transition, and primary material (the latter which cannot be economically processed), some of the main parameters applied in the estimates differ as summarised below:







TOMS (2011)




Micon (2013)

Gold Price (US$/oz)
Mining loss (%)
Mining dilution (%)
Ore mining cost (US$/t)
Waste mining cost (US$/t)

Significant differences are observed in the gold price, mining and process costs, and process recovery. Throughout 2011 the gold price rose steadily from around US$1,350 /oz in January to US$1,650 /oz by December and so the use of US$1,500 /oz by TOMS was justified at the time of their report. Micon cannot account for the costs used by TOMS, or the process recovery which perhaps relates to test work results rather than actual recovery results. Actual recovery in 2011 and 2012 was 59% and 66% respectively.


What is shown is that the Micon mineral reserve estimate for the Central Zone contains approximately 23% of the (Proven + Probable) tonnes and approximately 29% of the contained gold metal to that estimated by TOMS. The figures for the South West Zone (Probable only) are 20% and 24.5% respectively.


It should be noted that key estimation parameters, including gold price, operating costs, and process recovery factors, differ significantly between the Micon and TOMS mineral reserve estimate.


Furthermore (and perhaps of more significance), Micon has only included the oxide ore within its estimate whereas TOMS has included transition and primary material.


Due to substantial decrease of the reserves and resources of the Savkino Gold Deposit, Mangazeya Mining management has started to re-assess the previous production mining schedule which should reflect the existing reserves of the mineable oxide ore amenable for heap leaching production.
