Great news and inline with my predictions. Now this is out of the way there should be nothing holding up the DFS which should be a cracker given the upgrade in grade and resource. 8.8g/t should translate out into a nice AISC number and there is plenty of potential for resource upgrades over the coming months.
- Substantial increase in the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at the 100%-owned Rothsay gold project in WA’s Midwest to 401koz, comprising:
- A 31% increase in the total Mineral Resource to 1.42Mt1 at 8.8g/t Au for 401koz;
- A 45% increase in Indicated Resource, to 0.82Mt at 9.3g/t Au for 246koz, available for conversion
to Ore Reserves; and- A 13% increase in Inferred Resource to 0.60Mt at 8.0g/t Au for 155koz.
- The key Woodley’s Shear Mineral Resource increases to 296koz, representing 74% of the total Resource.
- The Woodley’s East Resource has increased by 159% to 78koz.
- A Maiden Mineral Resource for Woodley’s East Hanging wall has been estimated, with two separate
lenses totalling 22koz.- The application of a lower cut-off grade of 2.5g/t Au reflects a lower unit cost, due to the change in mine design parameters which introduces larger development drives and underground equipment; plus the application of ore sorting technology.
- The increased Resource estimate will feed into the Rothsay Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), which is targeted for completion in the June quarter, 2018.
- The regional exploration will be ongoing; targeting emerging opportunities at the Orient, Clyde, Clyde East and Miners Shears, where there is excellent potential to identify new Resources.
