KAT Gold’s project in Ghana is an existing mining operation located on the Bibiani Gold Belt in Ghana. Based on previous drillings, there is a known minimum resource of 300,000 oz, with intersections between 2m-8m of grades up to 24g/t. There is also a waste dump estimated to contain 30,000t with reported grades up to 9.76g/t (representing a minimum of 4,000 oz) and a 60,000t tailings area with sampling results as high as 21.2g/t.
Artisanal production conducted by locals has been ongoing on a small scale for some time, but with the arrival of our mine manager Thomas Brookes to the Ekom Eya mine site in July, there has been an increase in activity and planning for a greater increase in production through proper mining techniques has begun.
