Amarillo Announces Resource Update With Total Measured and Indicated Resource of 29 Million Tonnes at 1.2 Grams per Tonne Gold for 1,200,000 Gold Ounces25.03.2019 | 12:00 Uhr | GlobeNewswire
Includes High-Grade core zone of 9 million tonnes at 2.2 grams per tonne gold for 630,000 gold ounces
TORONTO, March 25, 2019 - Amarillo Gold Corp. (“Amarillo” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: AGC) (OTCQB: AGCBF) is pleased to announce an updated resource model for the Posse deposit at the Mara Rosa gold project in Goias State, Brazil. This new resource model will be used for a Feasibility Study (FS) mine plan that is expected to be finalized later this year. Keith Whitehouse of Australian Exploration Field Services Ltd, (“AEFS”) estimated the new resource with three contiguous grade zones as listed in Table 1 below. Highlights include:
Amarillo President and CEO Mike Mutchler commented, “This new resource model for the Posse deposit at Mara Rosa allows the Company to proceed with a new mine plan for the Feasibility Study to be completed later this year. We were successful in converting nearly all the Inferred Resources into Measured and Indicated Resources to potentially extend the planned mine life. The change to ordinary kriging has resulted in a more conservative and robust resource for use in the FS, and the 0.5 g/t cutoff grade allows us to maximize the use of the areas already permitted for waste rock dumps and a tailings dam under the Preliminary License. The high-grade core zone that can be accessed and mined in the early mining years is largely responsible for the one-year payback demonstrated in the September 2018 Updated Pre-Feasibility Study. As seen in the Grade Tonnage Curve in Table 2, there remains a significant amount of lower grade gold mineralization surrounding the resource to potentially extend the mine life in the future. The new resource will now be run through the Whittle Consulting Prober optimization model to produce an optimal mine plan for the FS. With the FS engineering already underway, we are pursuing the regulatory and resultant financial prerequisites necessary to keep us on track to submit our application for the License to Install (LI) mid-year with the FS to be completed in the second half of the year.” Table 1: AEFS March 2019 Resource Estimate*
* Table 1 Notes:
Table 2 accompanying this announcement is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/0ef902ad-2936-49d2-b207-29dc36e2d1f0 The new resource estimate is based on 344 drill holes used ordinary kriging and included 44 new diamond drill holes and 11 new reverse circulation holes for a total of 12,701 meters of new infill drilling. The additional drilling has successfully converted Inferred resource to Indicated and Measured resource and has allowed the definition of a high-grade zone which extends through the resource volume. The new resource is based on an updated geological model which fundamentally alters the understanding of the mineralization. The improved understanding of the mineralization has allowed the use of ordinary kriging as the basis of estimation as opposed to multiple indicator kriging used for previous estimates and the current estimate while more conservative, is considered to be more robust than previous estimates.
