Mineral resource
The initial resource estimate for Kora, situated within the Company’s Mining License 150, is 1.65 M inferred oz. at 11.6 g/t Au Eq. Kora remains open in all directions and strongly mineralized at the extent of drilling. The mineral resource estimates for the Kora deposit is based on the National Instrument 43-101 Compliant Independent Technical Report, Resource Estimate and Summary of Mining Facilities, Kainantu Project, Papua New Guinea, Nolidan Mineral Consultants, Author Anthony Woodward, BSc Hons., M.Sc., MAIG, with an effective date of April 15, 2016 (the “Resource Estimate”). A copy of the Resource Estimate is available for review and has been filed on SEDAR under the Company’s profile and contains a full description of all underlying assumptions relating to the resource estimates. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Projects
["Kora gold deposit: K92 Mining Inc. is pleased to announce the results of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) on its Kora gold deposit (“Kora”), which together with its Irumafimpa gold deposit (“Irumafimpa”) comprise the Kainantu Gold Project (the “Kainantu Project”). The PEA estimates a positive cash flow of US$558 million over 9 years, an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 113% and achieve an NPV5 of US$415 million. The project is expected to treat 3.2 Million tonnes @ 7.1 g/t Au, 25 g/t Ag & 1.7% Cu (9.3 g/t Au Eq*) over the 9 years with cash costs of US$547/oz AuEq and all in sustaining costs (AISC) of US$619/oz AuEq. The Initial Capital Cost is estimated at US$13.84 Million. The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized."]
