ARZU NORTH DRILLING RESULTS

Highlights:

 

·     Infill resource drilling results from the Arzu North Vein include 7m @ 3.34 g/t Au + 54 g/t Ag, 9m @ 2.44 g/t Au + 41 g/t Ag, and 8m @ 2.88 g/t Au + 156 g/t Ag.

 

·     Significant mineralisation confirmed at far NW end of Arzu North, which sits outside of the current resource with the potential to extend further by several hundred metres.

 

·     Mining activities at Arzu North and Derya are fully underway, and grade control results obtained to date from Arzu North include: 2m @ 17.90 g/t Au + 147 g/t Ag, 3m @ 7.74g/t Au + 60 g/t Ag and 8m @ 2.05 g/t Au + 20 g/t Ag.

 

Dr. Kerim Sener, Managing Director, commented:

"The drilling results from Arzu North demonstrate that the vein system contains significant opportunities to identify further mineralised parallel structures which sit outside of the zones modelled to date.  Most importantly, we now have confirmation that the Arzu North vein system is not limited on its NW end and that significant mineralisation occurs in this area, which is not currently captured by the designed pit.  We will be working on ensuring we obtain forestry access to this area such that the full strike length of a further 470m can be tested all the way to Arzu Far North.  If further economic mineralisation is determined along this trend it will have a significant positive impact on the life of mine and the future economics of the operation. 

 

The Company is working on a new mineral resource estimate for the Kiziltepe Mine to include all of the new drilling results.  This work will be completed once the results for the Arzu South deep drilling programme are obtained during December."

 

Drilling Programme

1)      Complete infill drilling at the eastern end of the Derya resource prior to the commencement of mining in Q4 2019.

 

2)      Complete additional drilling at Arzu North, following the results from May 2019, to test for probable extensions to the NW and to the SE.

3)      Conduct initial testing for any underground potential at Arzu South to support an underground resource estimation.
