The $4M Phase II Exploration and Development Program that began in the third quarter of 2019 is now complete with 48 holes and 21,037 (m) total drilled. AABB’s management and technical team have been thrilled with the successful drill results of the Phase II Program in all five phases of assay results published. The highlights of drill results have revealed high grade gold mineralization in multiple holes in each phase published attesting to the mine’s historical production to date. Some of the most significant gold value intersections from all of the results are 4.1 meters (m) graded at 13.2 grams per ton (g/t), 4.9 meters (m) graded at 12.6 grams per ton (g/t), 4.4 meters (m) graded at 12.3 grams per ton (g/t). The Company is now planning a series of post-program evaluations to prepare to engage in the mineral resource and reserves report generation process.
As AABB continues accelerating its mining operations expansion in 2020 and the outlook for gold remains strong, the Company is on target to achieve it highest production quarter in Q3. AABB is also anticipating gold production to triple in 2020 from its 2019 benchmark due to higher daily throughput levels and metals extraction efficiencies achieved with the new production facilities installed earlier this year. Additionally, the recent economic conditions have created strong and unprecedented fundamentals for gold producer equities and increased demand from the investment community. The economic instability, uncertainty and inflationary effects of the Coronavirus pandemic have launched gold and gold producers into a significant growth phase and increased profit margins.
