The geological and geophysical basis for determining that the ore reserves were sufficient to allow mining to start on the East Lagoon and West Lagoon orebodies at Mount Gunson is detailed in the subject reports, and the likely technical causes of many later emerging difficulties that were associated with achieving less-than-satisfactory mine development are discussed.
