The process of dissolving carbonate rock.

Period in geological time ranging from 345 to 280 million years ago.

carlin-type
Refers to a type of gold deposit first recognised in the Carlin area of Nevada,
USA, and characterised by gold-bearing disseminated pyrite, carbonate
dissolution, alteration and silicification of carbonate-rich sedimentary rocks.

cyanidation
A method of extracting exposed gold or silver grains from crushed or ground ore
by dissolving it in a weak solution of sodium- or calcium-cyanide. Also known as
leaching. May be carried out in agitated tanks or by irrigating ore stacked in large
heaps or dumps.

diamond drilling
Drilling method which obtains a cylindrical core of rock by drilling with an annular
bit impregnated with diamonds.

environmental impact study

Survey conducted to ascertain the conditions of a site prior to the realisation of a

project, to analyse its possible impacts and compensative measures.

exploration permit
A permit granted in Spain with a maximum size of 280 square kilometres, on
which regional sampling programmes are allowed.

felsic
Descriptive of a light-coloured igneous rock with an abundance of one or all of
feldspar, quartz and feldspathoids.

flotation
A milling process by which some mineral particles are induced to become
attached to bubbles and float and others to sink. In this way the valuable
minerals are concentrated and separated from the worthless gangue.
footwall
The mass of rock below a fault, vein, bed or mineralization.

geochemistry / geochemical

Relating to the chemistry of rock, sediment or soil.

g/t
Grams per tonne.

grade
The concentration of a particular element in a mass of rock, sediment or soil.

granite
A coarse-grained granular acid intrusive rock.

host rock
A body of rock serving as a host for other rocks or for mineral deposits.

hydrothermal
Of or relating to the action of water under conditions of high temperature,
especially in forming rocks and minerals.

iberian pyrite belt

A prominent geological terrain extending from southwest Spain into southern
Portugal, which is one of the world's largest massive sulphide provinces.

igneous rock
A rock formed by congealing rapidly or slowly from a molten state.

indicated mineral resource

That part of a Mineral Resource for which tonnage, densities, shape, physical
characteristics, grade and mineral content can be estimated with a reasonable
level of confidence. It is based on exploration, sampling and testing information
gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops,
trenches, pits, workings and drill holes. The locations are too widely or
inappropriately spaced to confirm geological and/or grade continuity but are
spaced closely enough for continuity to be assumed.
inferred mineral resource

That part of a Mineral Resource for which tonnage, grade and mineral content
can be estimated with a low level of confidence. It is inferred from geological
evidence and assumed but not verified geological and/or grade continuity. It is
based on information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations
such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes which may be limited or
of uncertain quality and reliability.

infill drilling
Drilling designed to fill or close gaps between existing drill holes.

intrusion / intrusive
Igneous rock body that has forced its way in a molten state into older
surrounding country rock.

intrusion-related
Refers to a type of gold mineralization hosted and/or related to intrusive rocks,
often granite.

investigation permit
A permit granted in Spain with a maximum size of 84 square kilometres, on
which detailed investigation activities are allowed including drilling and trenching.

lode
A tabular, relatively narrow mineral deposit.

massive sulphide
A sulphide body containing over 50 per cent of sulphide minerals.

measured mineral resource

That part of a Mineral Resource for which tonnage, densities, shape, physical
characteristics, grade and mineral content can be estimated with a high level of
confidence. It is based on detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing
information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as
outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes. The locations are spaced
closely enough to confirm geological and grade continuity.

mercury
Metal associated with certain types of gold deposit, chemical symbol Hg.

metallurgical testwork
Scientific tests on the extraction, refining, alloying and fabrication of metals and
of their structure and properties.
mineral processing
The dry and wet crushing and grinding of ore or other mineral bearing products
for the purpose of raising concentrate grade, removal of waste and unwanted or
deleterious substances from an otherwise useful product, separation into distinct
species of mixed minerals or chemical attack and dissolution of selected values.

mineral resource
A concentration or occurrence of material of intrinsic economic interest in or on
the Earth's crust in such form, quality and quantity that there are reasonable
prospects for eventual economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade,
geological characteristics and continuity of a Mineral Resource are known,
estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge.
Mineral Resources are sub-divided, in order of increasing geological confidence,
into Inferred, Indicated and Measured categories.

The concentration of metals and their chemical compounds in a body of rock.

mineralogy
The study of minerals.
