DRILLINGS: Dates to remember Here are some dates which allow us to follow the development of the project acquired from SYCAMORE MINING in April 2022, for the KINIERO and MANSOUNIA mining permits. For each of these dates, there is a press release available on SEDAR.COM.
2022-04-20: Calculation of resources upon announcement of the ROBEX / SYCAMORE MINING merger.
KINIERO
Indicated resources: 1,200,000 ounces of gold
Inferred resources: 900,000 ounces of gold
MANSOUNIA
Indicated resources: 132,000 ounces of gold
Inferred resources: 1,140,000 ounces of gold
2022-05-20: For the KINIERO permit, announcement of the DISCOVERY OF THE SABALI SOUTH ZONE, with drilling results of 1.39 to 7.92 grams tonnes near the surface.
2022-08-29: ROBEX declares the results of the pre-feasibility study (PFS) for the KINIERO permit, for which part of the mineral resources are considered.
2022-09-20: ROBEX publishes the complete pre-feasibility report (PFS), in standardized form 43-101.
2022-11-28: For the CENTRAL ZONE of the MANSOUNIA permit, ROBEX announces drilling results of 1.01 to 5.37 grams tonnes near the surface. The quality of these results could be observed in the publications of MINERDECK, which lists the best drilling results.
2023-01-13: For the SGA ZONE of the KINIERO permit, ROBEX announces drilling results of 1.18 to 18.56 grams tonnes, mostly near the surface.
2023-03-16: ROBEX announces the planning of its drilling for the year 2023, initially in the SOUTH of KINIERO, then in the NORTH in the MANKAN and HERICO ZONES.
2023-06-14: ROBEX declares the results of the feasibility study for the KINIERO permit, for which part of the mineral resources are considered.
2023-06-23: ROBEX publishes the full feasibility report (PFS), in standardized form 43-101.
2023-11-21: For the CENTRAL ZONE of the MANSOUNIA permit, ROBEX announces drilling results of 2.21 to 8.06 grams tonnes near the surface. Additionally, ROBEX announces that the technical report will be updated during 2024-Q1.
2023-12-24: ROBEX announces an increase of 600,000 ounces of gold in the inferred resources category, for the CENTRAL ZONE of the MANSOUNIA permit.
That said, drilling is carried out in sequence, on several zones spread over the KINIERO and MANSOUNIA permits, with objectives ranging from the determination of new mineral reserves to new zones to explore. Beyond the 10 years of exploitation already defined, these permits offer significant potential for increasing new mineral reserves/resources, and ROBEX seems determined to quickly delimit part of this potential, to ensure the organic growth of the company in the coming years.
