The Board also announces that Mr Keng Hock Seah has notified the Board of his intention to resign as Finance Director of the Company and Director of all subsidiary companies of GSR at the end of July 2017.

 

David McDonald, Executive Chairman commented: "The Board would like to express its appreciation to Keng for his valuable contribution during his four years with GSR and wish him all the very best in his future endeavours.

Appointment of Exploration Manager

 

Golden Saint is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Hassan Abass Kargbo as Exploration Manager. Reporting to the Board, Hassan's key responsibilities include preparation of geological strategies and planning policies, supervision and coordination of all other geological work of the Company.

 

Tongo Licence area - Alluvial Diamonds

 

At Tongo site 1, with the bulk sampling operations carried out to 13 June 2017, the Company recovered 14 more diamonds weighing a total of 10.46 carats. The stones ranged from 0.25 to 2.15 carats per stone. In addition, some 23.62 grams of alluvial gold were also recovered from the gravels treated. The Company will provide further updates as the gravel extraction and washing operations progresses

 

Baja Licence area

 

At Baja site 4, operations were focused on relocating the stockpile of gravels to a higher and more secure location. This will reduce the risk of loss associated with the rising water table resulting from the impending wet season. Bulk sampling operations have resumed and are operating concurrently with the gravel relocation exercise.

The annual licence fees for Baja, Tongo and Moa have been paid on 5 May 2017 for the following periods:

-Baja 13 December 2016 to 12 December 2017;

-Tongo 25 November 2016 to 24 November 2017; and
