High grading flexibility at Kiaka
High grading flexibility at Kiakandancer1, it looks like we have better high grading flexibility at Kiaka than Gaoua. Using measured and indicated resources, if we increase our cutoff grade to 1 g/t we will increase our average grade to 1.36 g/t for 2.45 million oz Au. If we increased the cutoff grade further, to 1.4 g/t, we would increase our average grade to 1.78 g/t for 1.02 million oz Au. have a look at the Grade/Tonnage table:

I’m very excited to see what the other targets around Kiaka central turn up. This could give us a grade boost that would help make the project more attractive with these depressed gold prices.
Another thing to point out is how our stripping ratio will be reduced using a higher cutoff grade. This could have a significant impact on CAPEX requirements and operating costs.
