The Group's most advanced gold exploration has taken place in the Dugbe and Joe Village licences, with a recently upgraded gold resource at the Dugbe F Project of 43.01 million tonnes at 1.28 g/t Au to give 1,765,000 ounces of gold using a lower cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au and no upper cut-off grade (Indicated Resource of 1,373,000 ounces of gold at 1.29 g/t Au and an Inferred Resource of 392,000 ounces of gold at 1.23 g/t Au).
