Executive Summary
This report section details the grade-tonnage analysis for the Siribaya Project, specifically focusing on Block Models 1A and 1B. The text explicitly states that no mineral processing is currently conducted at the project, indicating an early-stage exploration or development status where resource estimation is the primary focus. The provided tables outline various cut-off grades for gold, ranging from 0.25 g/t to 4.00 g/t, demonstrating the relationship between tonnage and contained gold ounces for the resource model.
The analysis presents two distinct block models, Siribaya 1A and Siribaya 1B, with varying cut-off values affecting the total tonnes and gold ounces reported. For instance, Siribaya 1A shows a total of 235,000 ounces of gold at a 0.25 g/t cut-off, while Siribaya 1B shows 383,000 ounces at the same cut-off. These figures are critical for understanding the potential resource size but do not reflect any current production capabilities due to the absence of processing infrastructure.
Given the lack of recovery methods described, the project remains in a resource definition phase. The data serves to validate the geological model and estimate the in-situ resource rather than operational output. Future development would require defining a processing method to convert these block model resources into recoverable reserves.
