Kairos Minerals Ltd (ASX: KAI) Managing Director, Dr Peter Turner said: “We are moving quickly to continue growing the 1.1Moz Resource at Mt York, with drilling now underway and the mineralisation open in every direction. We are also ramping up lithium exploration with drilling at Lucky Sump and other activity at Roe Hills and Croydon, where we have lithium soil anomalies of considerable scale and tenor”.

Mt YORK GOLD PROJECT, PILBARA (KAI: 100%)

A technical review completed early in the quarter concluded that the Mt York Gold Project is a large gold system that is very much under-drilled. The mineralisation is currently 3,000m in length (Main Trend), is continuous and open in all directions (particualry below the current pit shells) making the deposit a valuable asset for Kairos. The review found the deposit was constrained only by drilling within the individual deposits and at depth, not by geological or mineralisation factors meaning that its resource potential (tonnes and grade) will only be known once more drilling is completed.

The review also found several subtle plunges of high-grade shoots which were either plunging shallowly to the east, or steeply to the east.

Structural and lithological mapping by CSA Global’s Dr Peter Neumayr was undertaken during the quarter to try to answer questions on the reasons for the likely plunge orientations in determining the best targets for future drilling. The CSA Global report is awaited.

The technical review was announced to the market on 4 July 2022 and was led by Kairos’s newly appointed MD Dr Peter Turner (appointment date of 23 May 2022) who has over 27 years of reviewing gold projects worldwide.

On 30 August 2022, Kairos announced a new JORC-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate totalling 28.01 MT @ 1.23 g/t Au for 1,104,000 ounces (comprising Indicated Resources of 13.93 Mt at 1.3 g/t for 581,000oz and Inferred Resources of 14.08 Mt at 1.15 g/t for 523,000oz) from a previous resource estimated in 2020 of 20.9Mt at 1.30g/t Au for 873,500 ounces (comprising Indicated Resources of 8.5Mt at 1.33g/t for 366,000oz and Inferred Resources of 12.3Mt at 1.28g/t for 507,500oz). The new mineral resource estimate represents a 26% increase in contained gold at about the same grade. The technical team are targeting further increases to the resource with the drilling that is currently underway.

Editor's Picks: Gold Knocks Out Inflation-Adjusted High, Silver Breaks US$42

Gold's record-setting price run continued this week, with yet another new all-time high in the books. Silver also fared well, breaking US$42 per ounce.

According to Bloomberg, gold has now also surpassed its inflation-adjusted all-time high of US$850 per ounce, which it set more than 45 years ago on January 21, 1980. The news outlet notes that at the time the US was dealing with currency issues, inflation and recession concerns.

These are problems that sound all too familiar today. This week brought the release of the latest US consumer price index (CPI) data, which shows a 0.4 percent month-on-month increase for the all-items index — that's ahead of estimates and the most since the start of 2025.
