Exploration
- The initial Inferred Mineral Resource for the Boda Deposit (see ASX Announcement 30 May 2022) was estimated at:
- 624 million tonnes grading at 0.51g/t AuEq* for 10.1 MEqoz (5.21Moz Au, 0.90Mt Cu)
- 624 million tonnes grading at 0.51g/t AuEq* for 10.1 MEqoz (5.21Moz Au, 0.90Mt Cu)
- The estimate was based on approximately 71,400 metres of drilling using a 0.3g/t gold equivalent (AuEq) cutoff deemed appropriate for potential open cut mining.
- The Resource included a sub-component for the potential use of bulk-tonnage underground mining using a cutoff grade of 0.4g/t AuEq of:
- 353 million tonnes grading at 0.63g/t AuEq* for 7.1 MEqoz (3.72Moz Au, 0.62Mt Cu)
- 353 million tonnes grading at 0.63g/t AuEq* for 7.1 MEqoz (3.72Moz Au, 0.62Mt Cu)
- The Global Mineral Resource (Indicated and Inferred) for the Roswell Deposit was updated after further drilling (see ASX Announcement 3 May 2022). The resource increased by 37% and now stands at:
- 14.1 million tonnes grading 2.00g/t gold (904,000oz)
- 14.1 million tonnes grading 2.00g/t gold (904,000oz)
- The Global Mineral Resource (Indicated and Inferred) for the Tomingley Extension Project, which includes both the Roswell and San Antonio Deposits now stands at:
- 21.4 million tonnes grading 1.90g/t gold (1,310,000oz)
- 21.4 million tonnes grading 1.90g/t gold (1,310,000oz)
- Drilling for the purpose of estimating an initial shallow Inferred Mineral Resource at Kaiser, located 700m north-west of Boda, is nearing completion with a resource estimation expected in Q4 2022.
