- Definition drilling in the central area of the Smarts deposit, on the Company’s recently acquired West Omai project, intersected high-grade gold over significant widths. The Company acquired the project through the acquisition of Azimuth Resources in July 2013 for A$188 million.
- Highlights from the in-fill drilling on the Smarts Zone include 20 metres grading 30.09 g/t Au, starting at a depth of 66 metres and six metres of 34.24 g/t Au, from 34 metres. The drilling in the Smarts zone is intended to upgrade the drill density, to increase the confidence level of the resource in the central part of the deposit. The current drilling is focused on the Hicks deposit located three kilometres to the southeast.
- The Company has outlined a 43-101 compliant inferred resource for the Smarts and Hicks deposits on the West Omai project, of 16.7 million tonnes grading 3.06 g/t Au using a 1.0 g/t Au cut-off grade. Using a 2.0 g/t Au cut-off returns a 9.0 million tonne resource grading 4.46 g/t Au. The deposit includes both an open pit and an underground component.
- The Company expects to have an updated indicated resource completed by September 2013, with a prefeasibility study by the March quarter, 2014.
