Kirgella Gift and Providence: First Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 76,400 oz Au from only 3m depth

WA-focused gold explorer, Kalgoorlie Gold Mining (ASX: KAL) (‘KalGold’ or ‘the Company’), is pleased to announce its first Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE, reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2012)) for the Kirgella Gift and Providence gold deposits (Figure 1 and Figure 2) at the Company’s Pinjin project, 140 km to the northeast of Kalgoorlie-Boulder.


Highlights

  • First Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate for Kirgella Gift and Providence of: 2.34 Mt @ 1.0 g/t Au for 76,400 oz at a 0.5 g/t gold cut-off from only 3m depth.
  • Gold mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike between Kirgella Gift and Providence:
    • Potential for significant resource growth and upgrade following additional drilling to expand on unclassified blocks outside current model limits.
  • Highly economic discovery with KalGold’s direct exploration expenditure cost (drilling and assay) of only ~A$4.20 per gold ounce.
  • KalGold’s Total Mineral Resource base, comprising this new resource from the Pinjin Project, and the La Mascotte deposit at Bulong Taurus (see ASX: KAL 7th March 2023), now stands at 214,300 oz.
  • Elevated gold price of over A$3,600/oz continues to drive interest in mineable gold projects.
KalGold Managing Director and CEO Matt Painter said:

“KalGold is proud to report the first Mineral Resource Estimate at the Kirgella Gift and Providence gold deposits. It totals ~76,000 oz defined at over 1.0 g/t Au from only 3m depth, remains open in several directions, and is considered the first step in defining the full potential of the Kirgella Gift and Providence gold deposits. Pleasingly, we have defined a shallow gold resource at a very low cost to the Company of around A$4.20 per gold ounce.

The Kirgella and Providence mineral resource estimate is comparable to other deposits within the Laverton Tectonic Zone and is considered typical of the region. This is particularly true of some of the constituent deposits at Ramelius Resources’ (ASX:RMS) Rebecca Gold Project, around 20 km to the south along strike.

KalGold now has defined a total resource base of 214,300 oz of gold. The increased resource base enables KalGold to commence high level mining optimisation studies to assess pathways to production. KalGold looks forward to continuing to progress its work in the Pinjin area with the aim of significantly growing this initial JORC Code (2012) resource and defining a suite of additional shallow resources.”

First Gold MRE at KalGold’s Pinjin Project

The Inferred MRE of 2.34 Mt @ 1.0 g/t Au for 76,400 oz Au has been defined at a 0.5 g/t gold cut-off from the Company’s recent drill focus on the shallow portion of the Kirgella Gift and adjacent Providence gold deposits (see Table 1), combined with thoroughly validated historic datasets. Work continues on both deposits, with gold mineralisation open at depth and along strike between the two. This MRE is expected to form the basis of future updates as drilling and exploration continues.

What's behind gold's latest moves? Market watchers have pointed to US President Donald Trump's comments about Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell as the trigger for its latest spike.
