Core Insights - The Abore deep drilling program confirmed the continuity of mineralization 200m below the current Mineral Reserve, indicating potential for future resource expansion [1][2] - The program's results suggest that the mineralizing system remains open in all directions and carries sufficient grades and widths to support bulk underground mining development [1][2] Drilling Results - The completed deep drilling program consisted of four holes totaling 1,907m, successfully intersecting mineralized granite in all holes [1][2] - Notable intercepts include: - Hole ABDD25-350: 36.2m @ 2.5 g/t Au, including 22m @ 3.8 g/t Au [6][7] - Hole ABPC25-356: 16.1m @ 3.1 g/t Au [8] - The results build on previous drilling successes and confirm the presence of controlling structures and host lithologies below previously drilled areas [2] Infill Drilling Program - Following positive results from a Phase 1 drilling program, a Phase 2 infill drilling program has commenced to further test mineralization extensions below the boundaries of Abore's Mineral Reserve and Resource [3] Mineral Resource Estimates - Abore has current Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 638,000 ounces at 1.24 g/t Au and Inferred Mineral Resources of 78,000 ounces at 1.17 g/t Au, as of December 31, 2024 [4] Geological Context - The Abore deposit is located along the Esaase shear corridor and is characterized by a sedimentary sequence intruded by granite, with mineralization primarily constrained to the granite [5]
