Section 8 – Other Events
ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
Further to the Form 8-K the Company filed on November 21, 2011 regarding a property evaluation report (the "Report") detailing the initial assessment on the mining prospects of the Gaoping Phosphate Property in Chenxi County, Hunan Province, China. The Report has been amended by the author, Norman Tribe, a Consulting Professional Geological Engineer. Copy of the Amended Report is attached as an exhibit to this Form 8-K.
Where applicable, the report has been prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 guidelines, and shareholders should consider the following cautionary notes:
Estimates of Indicated Resources
The term “indicated” resources is recognized and required by Canadian regulations, but may not be recognized by US regulations. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in this category will ever be converted into mineral reserves.
Estimates of Inferred Resources
The term “inferred” resources is recognized and required by Canadian regulations, but may not be recognized by US regulations. “Inferred Resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.
Estimates of Proven and Probable Reserves
The estimates of mineral reserves described in the report have been prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101. The definitions of proven and probable reserves used in NI 43-101 differ from the definitions in SEC Guide 7. Accordingly, the Company’s disclosure of mineral reserves may not be comparable to information from other U.S. companies subject to the SEC’s reporting and disclosure requirements.
