*A Net Smelter Return (NSR) is the net revenue, less transportation and refining expenses, that the owner of a mining property receives from the sale of the mine's metal and non-metal products. A mine operator is required to pay the owner of the royalty agreement a portion of the net smelter return, which is referred to as a royalty.

**A Resource Estimate, also known as tonnage and estimated economic value, is an estimation of an ore deposit's quantity and quality based on its resource and reserve status. It can be done at the beginning to evaluate the mineral resources, as well as throughout the mining process to determine the remaining ore reserves.

*** A Preliminary Economic Assessment aims to answer the query, "How best can this deposit be exploited to maximize its economic returns?" In contrast to more sophisticated studies, a PEA can use inferred resources for its operational and financial modeling as long as one has a reasonable expectation that the result will be a profitable mine. A PFS and, if using debt financing, an FFS typically come after a PEA. Due to the greater level of unknowable risks, costs, and timelines, a PEA rarely serves as the foundation for a production decision.
