Pure Gold Mining Inc. (TSX-V:PGM, LSE:PUR) (“PureGold” or the
“Company”), is pleased to announce that following the release of an
updated Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) on August 10th 2022, the
Company has filed a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report
entitled “Independent NI 43-101 Technical Report and Updated
Mineral Resource Estimate for the PureGold Mine, Canada”, prepared
by SRK Consulting, dated September 23rd, 2022, with
an effective date of December 31st, 2021. The report is
available on SEDAR at http://www.sedar.com and has also been posted
on the Company’s website at
https://www.puregoldmining.ca/our-mine/mineral-resources/.
2022 Mineral Resource Estimate
Highlights:
The PureGold Mine MRE includes1,2:
1.65 million ounces of gold at 7.4 grams per
tonne (“g/t”) within 6.9 million tonnes in the Indicated Mineral
Resource category, and
0.37 million ounces of gold at 6.3 g/t within
1.8 million tonnes in the Inferred Mineral Resource category.
The updated MRE will form the basis of a new
Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) and updated Life of Mine plan, which is
being led by SRK and expected to be released in the fourth quarter
of 2022. This updated PFS will incorporate several ongoing
trade-off studies and will identify the best value-maximizing
operational path forward for the Company.
- Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have
demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or
any part of the Mineral Resources estimated will be converted into
Mineral Reserves. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be
materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title,
taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. The
Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum definitions
were followed for the classification of Indicated and Inferred
Mineral Resources. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred
Mineral Resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and
there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred
Mineral Resources as an Indicated Mineral Resource and it is
uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to
an Indicated Mineral Resource category. All figures have been
rounded to reflect the relative precision of the estimates. Mineral
Resources are reported as constrained with an underground Mining
Stope Optimizer tool which generated optimized stope shapes using
an assumed gold price of US$1800/ounce, a mining recovery of 95.0%,
metallurgical recovery of 95.0%, and successive MSO runs at stope
heights of 3, 6, and 12 metres. Mineral Resources are stated as
undiluted tonnes and gold grade above a 3.38 g/t cutoff.
