For the purposes of reporting under the SAMREC Code, these terms are considered to be synonymous.Pre-Feasib

8、ility StudyA comprehensive study of a range of options for the viability of a mineral project that has advanced to a stage where the preferred mining method, in the case of underground mining or the pit configuration in the case of an open pit has been established and where an effective method of mi

9、neral processing has been determined. It includes a financial analysis based on realistically assumed assumptions of technical, engineering, operating, economic factors and the evaluation of other relevant factors which are sufficient for a Competent Person, acting reasonably, to determine if all or

10、 part of the Mineral Resource may be classified as a Mineral Reserve. The overall confidence of the study should be stated. A Pre-feasibility Study is at a lower confidence level than a Feasibility Study.ROPOA Recognised Overseas Professional Organisation. The criteria for a ROPO are that the organi

11、sation must:1. Be a self-regulatory organisation covering professionals in the mining and/or exploration industry;2. Admit members primarily on the basis of their academic qualifications and experience;3. Require compliance with the professional standards of competence and ethics established by the

12、organisation; and4. Have disciplinary powers, including the power to suspend or expel a member.5.

The SO

13、UTH AFRICAN CODE FOR THE REPORTING OF EXPLORATION RESULTS,MINERAL RESOURCES AND MINERAL RESERVES (the SAMREC Code or the Code) sets out minimum standards, recommendations and guidelines for Public Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves in South Africa. It has been d

14、rawn up by the Working Group of the SSC Committee under the joint auspices of the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM) and the Geological Society of South Africa (GSSA). The SSC consists of representatives of the SAIMM, the GSSA, the South African Council for Natural Scientifi

15、c Professions (SACNASP), the Geostatistical Association of South Africa (GASA), the South African Council for Professional Land Surveyors and Technical Surveyors (PLATO), the Association of Law Societies of South Africa, the General Council of the Bar of South Africa, the Department of Minerals and

16、Energy (DME), the JSE Limited (JSE), the Council for Geoscience,the South African Council of Banks, the Minerals Bureau, the Chamber of Mines of South Africa (COM), and the University of the Witwatersrand.The first version of the SAMREC Code was issued in March 2000 and adopted by the JSE in their L

17、istings Requirements later that same year. The Code has been adopted by the SAIMM, the GSSA, SACNASP, ESSA and PLATO, and is binding on members of these organisations. For background information and the history of the development of the Code please refer to the SAMREC Code, March 2000. This 2007 edi

18、tion supersedes the first edition.Concurrently with the evolution of the SAMREC Code, the Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards (CRIRSCO), initially a committee of the Council of Mining and Metallurgical Institutions (CMMI), has, since 1994, been working to create a set of

19、 standard international definitions for the reporting of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.As a result of the CRIRSCO/CMMI initiative, considerable progress has been made towards widespread adoption of globally consistent reporting standards. These are embodied in similar Codes, guidelines and

20、standards published and adopted by the relevant professional bodies around the world.The definitions in this edition of the SAMREC Code are either identical to, or not materially different from, those existing international definitions.INTRODUCTION2. The Code is applicable to the reporting of all st

21、yles of solid mineralisation or economic deposit.Certain commodities, namely Coal and Diamonds, have specific additional reporting requirements and these are dealt with from Clause 41 onwards. The Code does not apply to Oil, Gas or Water.In this second edition of the SAMREC Code, the Code is predomi

22、nantly presented in normal typeface. Definitions are highlighted in bold text, and also form part of the Code. Guidelines are in italics and are placed after the respective Code clauses to provide assistance and guidance to readers when interpreting the Code.The SSC recognises that further reviews a

23、nd revisions of the Code may be required. Additional information, rules, lists and best practice guidelines will be published on the SAMREC website from time to time, after due process has been followed.SCOPE3. The Code sets out a required minimum standard for the Public Reporting of Exploration Res

24、ults, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. References in the Code to Public Report or Public Reporting pertains to those reports detailing Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves prepared for the purpose of informing investors or potential investors and their advisers.Although

25、 the Code is a required minimum standard for Public Reporting, the SSC committee recommends its adoption as a minimum standard for other reporting.Public Reports are all reports prepared for the purpose of informing investors or potential investors and their advisers and include but are not limited

26、to: company annual reports,quarterly reports and other reports included in JSE circulars, or as required by the Companies Act. The Code also applies to the following reports if they have been prepared for the purposes described in Clause 3: environmental statements; information memoranda; expert rep

27、orts; technical papers; website postings; and public presentations.For companies issuing annual reports, or other summary reports, the inclusion of all material information relating to Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves is recommended. In cases where summary information is p

28、resented it should be clearly stated that it is a summary, with a reference attached giving the location of the Code-compliant Public Reports or Public Reporting on which the summary is based. Companies and other entities are encouraged to provide information, which is as comprehensive as possible,

29、in their Public Reports.It is recognised that companies may be required to issue reports for more than one regulatory jurisdiction, with differing compliance standards as contained in this Code. It is recommended that such reports include a statement alerting the reader to this.Reference in the Code

30、 to documentation pertains to internal company documents prepared as a basis for, or in support of, a Public Report.It is recognised that situations may arise where such supporting documentation, prepared by Competent Persons for internal company or similar non-public purposes, may not specifically

31、be compliant with the Code. In such situations, it is recommended that the documentation includes a prominent statement to this effect.Users of the Code, and those compiling reports which comply with the Code, should be guided by its intent, which is to provide a minimum standard for Public Reportin

32、g, and to ensure that such reporting contains all relevant information which investors and their professional advisers would expect to find in the report, for the purpose of making a reasoned and balanced judgement regarding the Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves being reported on.4. The Code takes into account issues of a global nature whilst addressing certain circumstances unique to South Africa. The following principles should be considered in the application of the Code:Materiality: A Public
