ENDEAVOUR ANNOUNCES 1MOZ HIGH-GRADE INDICATED RESOURCE ON KARI PUMP AT HOUNDÉ
M&I Resources increase by 40% · Discovery cost of $9/oz · Only 35% of the Kari target was tested
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Kari Pump 1Moz maiden Indicated resource increases Houndé's M&I resources by 40%
- Indicated resource of 11.3Mt at 2.71 g/t Au for 987koz; Inferred resource of 0.2Mt at 2.21g/t Au for 20koz
- The mineralization covers an area 1.3km long by 0.8km wide and remains open in numerous directions
- 98% of maiden resource has been classified to the Indicated category
- Higher Indicated resource grade: 2.71g/t Au for Kari Pump compared to 2.05g/t for the Houndé mine
- Amenable to open pit mining as mineralization starts at surface
- ~45% of the Indicated resource is located within the oxide and transition zones, compared to most of the Houndé indicated resource being located in fresh zones
- Low discovery cost of $9 per Indicated resource ounce
- Kari Pump represents only 35% of the large Kari gold in soil anomaly
- Kari Pump is one of three high-grade discoveries made in the large Kari gold in soil anomaly where more than 200,000m were drilled over the past 18 months
- The Kari Center discovery extends 1.2km along strike and across a width of over 200m, while the Kari West discovery extends at least 1.0km along strike and across a width of 500m, with both mineralized systems remaining open
- A second 200,000m drilling program will start before year-end, focused on extending the mineralization at Kari Pump, and delineating a maiden resource for Kari West and Kari Center
