RE: 1Moz Gold estimate coming here!5 Jul 2022 12:40
p.186 of the prospectus there is a table that shows half the gold they think is in the licence is in the hill, at a 1g/t cut off grade.
Also in that table, the average grade in the hill is lower than in the other areas, so lowering the cut-off grade may have the greatest affect in increasing the resource at the hill location relative to any of the other prospects within the licence. (There is maybe more lower grade gold in the hill than elsewhere in the licence)
Also, initially the strike length was planned to be 1.875km which was increased to 2.575km.
I do think the EMR could hit 1mill oz, but to try and be conservative I’m saying that includes Red Ray, which is 140,000oz.
So all that drilling and lower the cut-off grade needs to find
1,000,000-641,000 = 338,000oz
- an increase of 61% of the current JORC gold in the Kilimepesa hill (541,000oz).
I just feel a 61% increase is not beyond the realms of possibility but ultimately we don’t know anything till the MRE lands.
