|
A sample of rock collected by chipping rock fragments continuously along a width of rock exposure in order to collect an equal volume of rock along the length of the sample. |
|
|
claim
|
An area of ground in which the mineral rights have been acquired; also called a tenement, exploration licence or exploration concession. |
|
|
concentrate
|
Finely ground product of the milling process containing a high percentage of the valuable metal(s). This product is generally sent to smelters for further processing and refining. |
|
|
CuEq
|
A copper equivalent is the grade of one commodity converted to the equivalent grade of copper using metal prices and adjusted for mill recovery rates. |
|
|
cut-off grade
|
The lowest grade of mineral resources considered economic; used in the calculation of reserves and resources in a given deposit. |
|
|
deposit
|
A mineral occurrence of sufficient size and grade that it might, under favorable circumstances, be considered to have economic potential. |
|
|
diamond drilling
|
A method of rotary drilling in rock, usually for exploratory purposes, using hollow diamond-crowned bits to obtain core for examination. Provides material for assays and for geological observation. |
|
|
drill core
|
A long, continuous cylindrical sample of rock brought to surface by diamond drilling. |
|
|
fault
|
A fracture in rock along which the adjacent rock units are relatively displaced. |
|
|
Feasibility Study (FS)
|
A comprehensive technical and economic study of the selected development option for a mineral project that includes appropriately detailed assessments of realistically assumed mining, processing, metallurgical, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental considerations together with any other relevant operational factors and detailed financial analysis, that are necessary to demonstrate at the time of reporting that extraction is reasonably justified (economically mineable). The results of the study may reasonably serve as the basis for a final decision by a proponent or financial institution to proceed with, or finance, the development of the project. The confidence level of the study will be higher than that of a Pre-Feasibility study. |
|
|
flotation
|
A milling process by which some mineral particles are induced to become attached to bubbles of froth and to float, and others to sink, so that the valuable minerals are concentrated and separated from those minerals without value. |
|
|
grade
|
The relative quantity or the percentage of ore-mineral or metal content in an ore body. |
|
|
gravity
|
A method of ground geophysical surveying that measures the gravitational field at a series of different locations. This data determines the different densities of the underlying rock and can show anomalous density or mass deficits that can be used to define targets of interest. |
|
|
heap leach
|
A process used for the recovery of oxidized copper or gold from weathered low-grade ore. Crushed mineralized material is "heaped" on impervious pads and leached by the percolation of a leach liquid trickling through the beds and dissolving the metal. The metals are recovered from the solution by conventional methods (see "solvent extraction/electrowinning"). |
|
|
Indicated mineral resource
|
That part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics, can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough for geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed. |
|
|
induced polarization (IP) |
A method of ground geophysical surveying employing an electrical current to determine indications of mineralization. |
|
|
Inferred mineral resource |
That part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified, geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes. |
|
|
intrusive/intrusion |
Rock which while molten, penetrated into or between other rocks but solidified before reaching the surface. |
|
|
Measured mineral resource |
That part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape, and physical characteristics are so well established that they can be estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support production planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate 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 that are spaced closely enough to confirm both geological and grade continuity. |
|
|
metallurgy |
The science that deals with procedures used in extracting metals from their ores, purifying and alloying metals, and creating useful objects from metals. |
|
mineral reserve
|
A mineral reserve is the economically mineable part of a Measured or Indicated mineral resource demonstrated by at least a Pre-Feasibility study. This study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be justified. A mineral reserve includes diluting materials and allowances for losses that may occur when the material is mined.
Mineral reserves are sub-divided in order of increasing confidence into Probable mineral reserves and Proven mineral reserves. A Probable mineral reserve has a lower level of confidence than a Proven mineral reserve.
|
|
|
mineral resource |
A concentration or occurrence of diamonds, natural solid inorganic material, or natural solid fossilized organic material including base and precious metals, coal, and industrial minerals in or on the Earth's crust in such form and quantity and of such a grade or quality that it has reasonable prospects for 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. An Inferred mineral resource has a lower level of confidence than that applied to an Indicated mineral resource. An Indicated mineral resource has a higher level of confidence than an Inferred mineral resource but has a lower level of confidence than a Measured mineral resource.
|
|
|
net present value (NPV)

|
|
NSR royalty
|
The percentage of net smelter returns that the mine is obligated to pay to the royalty holder. |
|
|
open pit mining
|
A form of mining designed to extract minerals that lie near the surface. Waste, or overburden is first removed and the mineral-bearing rock is broken, removed and processed to remove the valuable metal. (Similar terms: opencast mining, open cut mining). |
|
|
ore
|
The naturally occurring material from which a mineral or minerals of economic value can be extracted at a reasonable profit. Also, the mineral(s) thus extracted. |
|
|

|
oxidized or oxide minerals
|
Oxide- and carbonate-based minerals formed by the weathering of sulphide minerals. Examples include: malachite, turquoise and chrysocolla. |
|
porphyry
|
An igneous rock of any composition that contains conspicuous, large mineral crystals in a fine-grained groundmass; a porphyritic igneous rock. |
|
|
porphyry copper deposit
|
A large mineral deposit, typically within porphyry rocks, that contains disseminated copper sulphide and other minerals. Such deposits are mined in bulk on a large scale, generally in open pits, for copper and possibly by-product molybdenum, gold and silver. |
|
|
Pre-Feasibility study
|
A comprehensive study of a range of options for the technical and economic viability of a mineral project that has advanced to a stage where a preferred mining method, in the case of underground mining, or the pit configuration, in the case of an open pit, is established and an effective method of mineral processing is determined. It includes a financial analysis based on reasonable assumptions on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental considerations and the evaluation of any other relevant factors which are sufficient for a QP, acting reasonably, to determine if all or part of the mineral resource may be classified as a mineral reserve. |
|
|
Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) |
A study, other than a Pre-Feasibility or Feasibility study, that includes an economic analysis of the potential viability of mineral resources. |
|
|
Probable mineral reserve
|
The economically mineable part of an Indicated and, in some circumstances, a Measured mineral resource demonstrated by at least a Pre-Feasibility study. This study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic, and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be justified. |
|
|
Proven mineral reserve |
The economically mineable part of a Measured mineral resource demonstrated by at least a Pre-Feasibility study. This study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic, and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction is justified. |
|
|
Qualified Person (QP) |
An individual defined under NI 43-101 who is an engineer or geoscientist with at least five years of experience in mineral exploration, mine development or operation or mineral project assessment, or any combination of these; has experience relevant to the subject matter of the mineral project and the technical report; and is a member or licensee in good standing of a professional association. |
|
|
quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC)
|
Quality assurance is information collected to demonstrate and quantify the reliability of assay data. Quality control consists of procedures used to maintain a desired level of quality in an assay database. |
|
|
reverse circulation (RC) drilling
|
A type of percussion drilling where a hammer force is transmitted down a length of steel drill rods to a rotating bit that breaks the rock into chips. The method involves forcing air and/or water down the outer chamber of twin-walled drill rods to the drill bit where the rock chips are picked up and driven back to the surface through the inner chamber of the rods. RC drilling is faster and less expensive than diamond drilling. However, RC drilling only produces fragments and chips of broken rock, so less geological information is available than would be obtained from drill core. |
|
|
smelter
|
Any metallurgical operation in which metal is separated by fusion from those impurities with which it may be chemically combined or physically mixed, such as in ores. |
|
solvent extraction/electrowinning (SX/EW)
|
A process to recover metallic copper from acidic heap leach solutions (see "heap leach") by selectively collecting the copper with an organic solvent. Copper is then removed from the organic solution into an electrolytic solution and then metallic (anode) copper produced by applying an electric current across the solution. The heap leach and SX/EW process is generally lower cost than conventional treatment of sulphide ores and can treat lower grades. |
|
|
strip ratio
|
The ratio of waste rock that must be removed for every tonne of ore that is mined in an open pit. |
|
|
stripping
|
The removal of earth or non-ore rock materials as required to gain access to the desired ore or mineral materials; the process of removing overburden or waste material in a surface mining operation. |
|
|
sulphide mineralization
|
Compounds of sulphur with other metallic elements. Common copper examples are chalcopyrite and bornite. |
|
|
tailings
|
The fine, sandy material without valuable metals remaining after the treatment of ground ore resulting in the removal of the valuable metals and production of concentrate (see "concentrate"). |
|
|
trench
|
In geological exploration, a narrow, shallow ditch cut across a mineral showing or deposit to obtain samples or to observe rock character. |
|
|
underground mining
|
Extraction of ores, rocks and minerals from below the surface of the ground. Generally access to the underground mine workings is through an adit (sub-horizontal entrance in the side of a hill), down a sub-vertical mine shaft or through some other tunnel configuration. Generally higher cost than open pit mining. |
|
|
vug |
A small cavity in a rock, usually lined with crystals of a different mineral composition than the enclosing rock. |

| · | An update to the capital estimate will be completed in parallel with other pre-start activities, ahead of final approval of the Oyu Tolgoi project by the Turquoise Hill, Rio Tinto and OTLLC boards. |
| · | The preferred engineering, procurement and construction management ("EPCM") contractor has been engaged to complete some critical path detailed engineering and the re-estimate. |
| · | Funding for pre-start activities has been approved, including ramp up of the owners and EPCM team, re-estimate activities, detailed engineering and early procurement for plant, equipment and materials that are required for project restart as well as necessary critical works that are key enablers for recommencement of lateral development mining activity. |
| · | The funding covers work scheduled to take place before the official 'notice to proceed' is approved, which is expected in early 2016. |
| · | The intent of pre-start funding is to ensure the project is ramped back into production as soon as possible, while not making contract commitments ahead of completing the full project approval. Lateral mining development is targeted to restart in mid-2016. |
| · | 28.1% of Entrée's share of gold and silver, and 2.1% of Entrée's share of copper, produced from the portion of the Shivee Tolgoi mining licence included in the Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV Property (represented by the shaded upper right portion in Figure 1 above); and |

| Notes: | 1. Mineral resources are classified in accordance with the 2014 CIM Definition Standards for mineral resources and mineral reserves. 2. Mineral resources do not include external dilution, nor was the tabulation of contained metal adjusted to reflect metallurgical recoveries. 3. Tonnages are rounded to the nearest 10,000 tonnes, and grades are rounded to two decimal places. 4. Rounding as required by reporting guidelines may result in apparent summation differences between tonnes, grade, and contained metal content. 5. Material quantities and grades are expressed in metric units, and contained metal in imperial units. |

| · | Future geotechnical studies should focus on geotechnical specific drill holes targeting the proposed wall rocks of the pit. A minimum of four inclined holes should be completed each of which may be up to 800 metres long. All holes should be "triple tube" coring system holes with splits in the core tube. HQ3 diameter core is preferred. |
| · | Due to poorer rock mass quality throughout the deposit, all geotechnical holes should be surveyed with a borehole televiewer system. |
| · | The hydrogeological system needs to be investigated going forward in the next study. Geotechnical mapping needs to be completed as well. |
| · | Future geologic models should include interpretations of the main rock types, alteration zones, depth of weathered zones and major geological structures. |

| · | Grindability testing, consisting of Bond Ball Work Index, Bond Rod Work Index, Abrasion Index, SAG Mill Competency, Crushing Work Index, and JK Drop-Weight testing was conducted on selected composites from the program. Results indicated that samples from the deposit are medium to hard when compared with database averages. The variability of results appears moderate and no unusually competent domains or zones of the deposit were identified in the samples tested. The results provide a basis for modeling and design of the comminution circuit. |
| · | Initial compositing of gypsum and non-gypsum rejects from the chalcopyrite domain indicated that the presence of gypsum did not have any effect on copper recovery by flotation. Similarly, concentrate grade was found to be more influenced by pyrite content rather than gypsum. The grindability program showed the gypsum sample to be slightly more competent than other samples within the test set. |
| · | Flotation flowsheet development was carried out on the domain composites, primarily chalcopyrite. From the baseline conditions established in 2012, the current program improved the flowsheet in two key areas: |
| o | coarsening of the primary grind, from a P80 of 120µm to 155 µm, and |
| o | simplifying the reagent suite, including elimination of specialty Cytec collector MX-3045. The number of cleaner stages was increased to three, and a small amount of CMC was added to the cleaners to control slimes. |
| · | In total, five locked cycle tests were carried out, two each on the chalcopyrite and pyrite composites, and one on the bornite composite. All tests achieved excellent mass and metal accountability, as well as good stability in the last four stages. An average metallurgical projection was generated based on the results of the locked cycle work. |
| · | Production composites from the periods Year 1-3 and Year 4-9 were subjected to rougher and cleaner batch flotation tests. The results were comparable to the domain composites, but slightly elevated levels of oxide copper were detected in the Year 1-3 composite. |
| · | Variability testing consisted of 11 separate composites representing different spatial zones, as well as lithological and grade differences. Grindability testing of six of the variability composites displayed a relatively tight distribution of results, with Bond Ball Work Index values ranging from 15.2 to 17.5 kWh/t. Flotation tests were conducted on 10 of the variability composites and indicated that copper grade and pyrite content were the most important indicators of copper recovery and final concentrate grade, as observed in the test work on the domain and production composites. |
| · | Test work aimed at developing the copper-molybdenum separation circuit has not yet achieved the target final concentrate molybdenum grade of 50% molybdenum. The work was successful at achieving high open circuit molybdenum recovery in both the rougher and cleaner stages, as well as demonstrating excellent rejection of copper to the combined tailings. Excess slimes flotation in the bulk cleaners is believed to be the result of overgrinding of the bulk rougher concentrate as part of the copper cleaning stage. Some graphitic carbon was identified in the final molybdenum concentrate produced in this program, but it is not expected to be a significant impediment to either final grade or saleability of the concentrate product. |
| · | Settling and filtration tests were carried out on combined tailings samples of the Year 1-3 and Year 4-9. Both composites responded well to the anionic polyacrylamide flocculant Magnafloc 10, which is widely used in this type of application. The Year 1-3 composite demonstrated poorer settling characteristics, as compared to the later production material, requiring a higher flocculant dose and achieving a lower underflow density. Both composites were successful in reaching final cake moisture concentrations of ~15% during vacuum filtration tests, with the near-surface sample requiring a larger unit filtration area. |
| · | Copper concentrate settling and filtration testing indicated that effective settling could be achieved also using Magnafloc 10. Vacuum filtration rates for the concentrate were found to be slow, but improved significantly with the addition of filter aid. |
| · | Minor element analysis was conducted on concentrate samples from the domain and production composites. No elements of concern were noted, although a few composites returned slightly elevated mercury concentrations, as high as 14.1 parts per million, which may incur a small penalty depending on the specific terms of the smelter agreement. |
| · | Preliminary environmental characterisation was carried out by ABA and TCLP testing on the production composite tailings samples. The results indicated that the tailings tested are potentially non-acid generating (NAG), and did not exceed Schedule 4 limits for toxicity. |

| · | Entrée has a 20% interest in the reported mineral reserve. |
| · | Metal prices used for calculating the Hugo North Extension underground NSR are as follows: copper at $3.01/lb; gold at $1,250/oz; and silver at $20.37/oz, all based on long-term metal price forecasts at the beginning of the mineral reserve work. The analysis indicates that the mineral reserve is still valid at these metal prices. |
| · | The NSR has been calculated with assumptions specific to Hugo North Extension for smelter refining and treatment charges, deductions and payment terms, concentrate transport, metallurgical recoveries and royalties. |
| · | The block cave shell was defined using a NSR cut-off of $15/t NSR. |
| · | For the underground block cave, all mineral resources within the shell have been converted to mineral reserves. This includes low-grade Indicated mineral resources and Inferred mineral resources, which have been assigned a zero grade and treated as dilution. |
| · | Only Indicated resources were used to report Probable reserves. |
| · | The base case financial analysis has been prepared using the following current long-term metal price estimates: copper at $3.08/lb; gold at $1,304/oz; and silver at $21.46/oz. |

| · | Lordsburg Property, New Mexico . The Lordsburg claims cover 2,013 ha adjacent to the historic Lordsburg copper-gold-silver district in New Mexico. Drilling at Lordsburg has been successful in discovering a new porphyry copper-gold occurrence in an area previously known only for vein-style gold mineralization. No work was completed in 2015. Future drilling will be directed towards expanding the existing drill defined copper and gold zone. |
| · | Blue Rose Joint Venture, Australia . The Blue Rose copper-iron-gold-molybdenum joint venture property covers exploration licence 5129 in the Olary Region of South Australia, 300 kilometres north-northeast of Adelaide. Magnetite iron formations occur in the southern portion of this 716 square kilometre tenement, and a zone of copper oxide mineralization and a gold target (Golden Sophia) are located in the north-central area of the tenement. |
| · | Lukkacha Property, Peru . The Lukkacha property is located in Tacna Province of southeastern Peru. The property consists of seven concessions totaling 4,400 ha which cover two large areas of surface alteration, iron oxides and quartz veining approximately 50 kilometres along the structural trend southeast from the giant Toquepala mining operation of Grupo Mexico. The property has never been drilled and represents a unique opportunity for early stage exploration within an under-explored major copper district. The property is situated within 50 kilometres of the international border with Chile, and initiation of further exploration (geophysics and drilling) is subject to Entrée obtaining a Supreme Decree allowing it to work on the property. |
| · | Cañariaco Royalty, Peru . The Company has a 0.5% NSR royalty on the Cañariaco project in Peru. The Cañariaco project includes the Cañariaco Norte copper-gold-silver deposit, as well as the adjacent Cañariaco Sur and Quebrada Verde prospects, located within the western Cordillera of the Peruvian Andes in the Department of Lambayeque, Northern Peru. |

| (1) | The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for determining fair value of stock options issued at the grant date. The Company selected the Black-Scholes option-pricing model because it is widely used in estimating option based compensation values by Canadian and U.S. public companies. The practice of the Company is to grant all option based awards in Canadian currency, and then convert the grant date fair value amount to United States currency for reporting the value of the grants in the Company's financials. The conversion rate for each grant is the average of the rates quoted by the Bank of Canada as its noon spot rate of the last day of the three months in the quarter in which the grant is made. The conversion rates for the purpose of the grants in this table are presented below and are based on the applicable conversion rate on the date of grant, each as supplied by the Bank of Canada. |
| (2) | The Company does not have a formal annual incentive program, however, bonuses are granted as determined by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board on an individual basis. The Company does not presently have a pension incentive plan for any of its executive officers, including its NEOs. |
| (3) | Other Compensation includes amounts paid out for vacation time earned, but not taken. |
| (4) | All compensation is negotiated and settled in Canadian dollars. The exchange rate used to convert 2015 compensation to US$ is 1.3840 (2014 – 1.1601; 2013 – 1.0636). |
| (5) | Mr. Crowe ceased to be President and CEO of the Company effective November 13, 2015. Mr. Crowe was also a director of the Company. Mr. Crowe did not receive compensation from the Company for acting as a director, and no portion of the total compensation disclosed above was received by Mr. Crowe as compensation for acting as a director. Mr. Crowe's severance payment resulting from termination of his employment is reported as Other Compensation. |
| (6) | Mr. Scott was appointed Interim CEO effective November 16, 2015 under an Independent Contractor Agreement dated November 12, 2015. On November 16, 2015, Mr. Scott was granted options to purchase 500,000 Common Shares at an exercise price of C$0.35. All of the options vested on February 16, 2016. Mr. Scott received a signing bonus of C$25,000 on November 16, 2015. His consulting fee is reported as Other Compensation. |
| (7) | Mr. Colwill resigned as an employee of the Company effective March 22, 2016. He continues to serve as the Company's CFO under a consulting agreement dated March 23, 2016. |
| (8) | Ms. Forster ceased to be Executive Vice President of the Company effective November 13, 2015. Ms. Forster's severance payment resulting from termination of her employment is reported as Other Compensation. |

| (1) | In addition to being a director of the Company until his resignation effective November 13, 2015, Gregory Crowe was a NEO. For disclosure regarding Mr. Crowe's compensation, please refer to the Summary Compensation Table above. |
| (2) | The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for determining fair value of stock options issued at the grant date. The Company selected the Black-Scholes option-pricing model because it is widely used in estimating option based compensation values by Canadian and U.S. public companies. The practice of the Company is to grant all option based awards in Canadian currency, and then convert the grant date fair value amount to U.S. currency for reporting the value of the grants in the Company's financials. The conversion rate for each grant is the average of the rates quoted by the Bank of Canada as its noon spot rate of the last day of the three months in the quarter in which the grant is made. The conversion rates for the purpose of the grants in this table are presented below and are based on the applicable conversion rate on the date of grant, each as supplied by the Bank of Canada. |
| (3) | Lindsay Bottomer ceased to be a director of the Company on June 29, 2015. |
| (4) | Anna Stylianides was appointed to the Board on July 13, 2015. On July 13, 2015, Ms. Stylianides was granted options to purchase 100,000 Common Shares at an exercise price of C$0.38. 50,000 options vested on July 13, 2015, 25,000 options vested on January 13, 2016 and 25,000 options will vest on July 13, 2016. |

| (1) | The maximum aggregate number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to options granted under the Plan and outstanding from time to time may not exceed that number which represents 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time. The Company shall, at all times while the Plan is in effect, reserve a sufficient number of Common Shares to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. The Plan also provides that exercised options will automatically be available for subsequent grants and for the reservation and issuance of additional Common Shares pursuant to such options. Accordingly, the Plan constitutes both a "rolling" plan and an "evergreen" plan, and its renewal must be approved by the Company's shareholders every three years in accordance with the policies of the TSX. The Plan was last approved on June 26, 2014. |
| (2) | On November 16, 2015, the Company agreed to grant to Stephen Scott, as an inducement for his service, up to 500,000 Common Shares. The Common Shares are issuable at the discretion of the Board, based on the achievement of certain performance criteria. The grant was made outside the Company's existing shareholder approved equity incentive plans and was approved by the independent members of the Company's Board as a material inducement to Mr. Scott's employment in reliance upon Section 711(a) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide. In the event the Board determines that shares are issuable to Mr. Scott, the Company may, at its option, satisfy its obligation by making a cash payment to Mr. Scott equivalent to the then market price of the Common Shares. |
