About Beckman, Brown & Associates
Ashley Brown P. Geo., the President of Beckman, Brown and Associates has experience in mineral exploration and mineral deposit evaluation Globally. He is a “Qualified Person” under the meaning of NI 43-101. He is a professional geologist with over 30 years of experience and expertise in underground and open pit mining, advanced geostatistics, resource evaluation and exploration. He has reviewed and evaluated mineral resources for copper, gold, platinum, base metal and uranium mining projects in Canada, Spain, Turkey, Finland, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Panama, the United States, Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, Guyana, Mali, Ghana, and South Africa. His area of expertise includes geostatistics, geological modelling, digital data integration, due diligence studies, corporate development M&A work and resource estimation using Leapfrog 3D, Datamine Studio RM, Surpac, and the Isatis.neo geostatistics packages. He also has experience in Leapfrog Geo and EDGE. He completed the CFSG Diploma (“Cycle de Formation Spécialisée en Géostatistique” (Special Training Course in Geostatistics) from the Paris School of Mines based at Fontainebleau, France in 2005.

GEOSTATISTICS
Geostatistics is a very important science in itself to consider when strategic decision making is to take place from the early exploration stage through to the bankable feasibility stage.
Here is a non exhaustive list of services provided:
- Strategic decision making at the early stage of exploration (Histogram modelling).
- Optimization of drill-hole spacing for resource estimation (Extension variance method/Simulations).
- Development of an understanding of the style of mineralisation.
- Exploratory Data Analysis.
- Variography of continuous and categorical variables.
- Full suite of classical resource estimation methods (NN, ID2).
- Change of Support check (Volume – Variance check).
- Linear geostatistical methods (OK, SK).
- Non-linear estimation methods (MIK, LUC).
- Simulation methodologies (Conditional Simulation).
- Block model validation.
- Resource classification using best practices.
