Clear my memory, they said they were going to drill the new high grade discovery south of the main zone, but was it immediately or when a drill frees up?

I talked to someone at the booth (forget his name). I asked about the new zone and asked him how many oz he was hoping for there. He said he would be happy with 500,000 oz. The thought was that because the mine would be an expensive start up on the existing pit that the near surface zone could be mined cheaper at first and help fund the rest of the project.

The high grade zone is great but don't forget that this will not be included in the pre-feasibility study

Yes, definitely know this is not part of the pre-feasibility / ni43-101.... But with more drilling and more good holes it will be someday... Another discovery will add a lot of value and with the higher grades make this a very viable resource....willing to wait this one out..... If this resource is anyway linked with each other than wow...

They've already got a higher grade starter pit with near zero strip ratio. Kiaka South will be used just like B2 gold are using their higer grade Jabali zone. To mix the high grade with the lesser grade ore found in the rest of the deposit thereby improving the overall grade and economics of the desposit.
