4.2Moz at 1.63g/t Au Bankan Gold Project

Guinea’s Siguiri Basin

Bankan strategically located in the centre of Guinea’s new gold rush

  • Siguiri Basin is the least explored region within the West African Birimian Greenstone belt, and hosts mines including: • AngloGold Ashanti’s Siguiri Gold Mine (6.96Moz gold resource/ 214Koz production)

  • Nordgold’s Lefa Gold Mine (3.1Moz M&I and 1.4Moz Inferred/ 2021 production: 276Koz)

  • Sycamore’s Kiniero Gold Project (produced 418Koz over 12 years)

  • Hummingbird’s Kouroussa’s Gold Mine (1.18Moz Inferred resource at >3 g/t and expected to produce 100Koz Au at AISC US$900-US$1,000 per oz)

  • o Siguiri Basin’s margins now globally recognised to be a richly mineralised fluid conduit, perfect for large greenfields gold discovery

  • 4.2Moz (Inferred) MRE at 1.63g/t across two separate deposits:

  • NE Bankan: 3.9Moz @ 1.65g/t

  • Bankan Creek: 0.33Moz @ 1.43g/t

  • 60,000m drilling program underway to grow and upgrade gold Resources

  • Straightforward open pit project with significant potential for high-grade underground mining

Straightforward and simple metallurgy

  • Initial metallurgical test work completed on the high-grade zone in the lower area of the current pit shell with an average recovery of 92.8%

  • Two sample streams tested:

  • Gravity concentrated then selected random sample tails leached. All samples tested completed leaching within 24 hours for an average recovery of 94%

  • Complete sample leach testing, target grind of p80 passing 75 micron, Leaching times with 69 sample leach kinetics indicating completion within 48 hours

  • Gold mineralisation confirmed as free-milling with high gold recoveries and amenable to simple, industry-standard processing

Near-Mine & Regional Exploration

Near-deposit potential

Early work highlights multi-deposit potential within 5km of NE Bankan

  • Results provide confirmation of the extent of gold mineralised locations in the area surrounding NE Bankan and Bankan Creek

  • Programs designed to deliver additional resource ounces in close proximity to both ore deposits

  • Infill and extension drilling on new gold prospects as they emerge from aircore reconnaissance drill program
