SFF recently announced an initial mineral resource estimate for its Dosquebradas gold-copper prospect in the Quinchia district, Colombia.
The Dosquebradas prospect contains inferred resources of 57.79 million tonnes grading 0.5 g/t gold and 0.04 per cent copper at a cut-off grade of 0.3 gram per tonne gold for a total of 920,772 ounces of gold.
By assigning a gold equivalence to the contained copper using the parameters indicated in the table notes, the total resource estimate increases to 1,049,790 gold equivalent ounces at a grade of 0.56 g/t gold equivalent.
One option to develop Miraflores is to sell Dosquebradas and use those funds to offset some of the $93.4 million needed to bring Miraflores to production.
