A total of 2,562 koz of gold in the Measured, Indicated and Inferred categories for hard rock and placer assets are estimated as of January 1, 2023 according to JORC (2012), corresponding to a 37% increase compared to the previous resource estimate made in 2020. This amount includes 1,707 koz of gold contained in Probable Ore Reserves, which is 46% higher than previously reported.
Kopy Goldfields’ total estimated M, I&I Mineral Resources amount to 3,239 koz of gold (2,537 koz), and total Probable Ore Reserves amount to 1,802 koz of gold (1,282 koz), including the attributable reserves and resources of the Krasny project which yet have not been updated.
AZ’ Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves have increased primarily due to successful exploration campaign during 2021 and 2022 at Krasivoe underground gold deposit which is part of the Yubileyniy project.
