ABSTRACT:Crater Gold Mining Limited (ASX: CGN or the Company) is pleased to announce a maiden inferred resource estimate reported in accordance with JORC guidelines for its HGZ gold mining project, part of the Crater Mountain Project in Papua New Guinea (PNG) of 44,500 tonnes at 11.9 g/t for 17,100 ounces of gold (cut- off grade of 5 g/t Au). With the project already being in production and having gold processing facilities on site, the maiden resource paves the way for increased production with minimal additional capital expenditure or development time. As part of the resource definition, mapping of the HGZ showed three distinct major high grade gold veins Figure 1. The three veins are closely linked and are estimated to carry 11,800 ounces of gold. The Company will now refine the mining method for maximum gold extraction from the higher cut-off grade of 7.5g/t Au implementing a revised, more focussed mining plan. This will allow more efficient, targeted gold production The mining plan will be implemented, with the development of the 1930 Level via a new adit which is currently being established. “This maiden resource marks a significant milestone for the Company, confirming the potential for profitable gold mining from the HGZ project. The report also provides us with more detail of the high grade veins enabling us to target more selective mining of the 3 main high grade veins. going forward. Whilst the initial JORC resource may seem modest, the gold is accessible and all infrastructure is in place, allowing the Company to move quickly to mining of the 3 veins as well as other cross cutting structures.’
