Perseus Mining Updates Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves

21.08.2024  |  GlobeNewswire

Perth, Aug. 21, 2024 -

Perth, Western Australia/ August 21, 2024/Perseus Mining Ltd. (ASX/TSX: PRU) wishes to update the estimates of the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves at each of its African operations as summarised in Table 1 and Table 2 below, and detailed in this report. Highlights

  • Perseus Mining has delivered another year of organic growth from resource definition drilling and studies, leading to new Measured and Indicated (M&I) Mineral Resources and Proved and Probable Ore Reserves, adding to the long-term sustainability of the Group's production profile.
  • The Group's total M&I Mineral Resources at 30 June 2024 are estimated to be 115.9 Mt grading 1.31 g/t gold, containing 4.9 Moz of gold, compared with the estimate of 30 June 2023 of 122.8 Mt grading at 1.31 g/t Au for 5.2 Moz of gold.
  • Group Proved and Probable Ore Reserves are now estimated at 64.9 Mt at 1.39 g/t gold for 2.9 Moz, compared to the estimate of 30 June 2023 of 73.8 Mt at 1.45 g/t gold for 3.4 Moz of gold.
  • Inorganic growth during FY24 included the acquisition of OreCorp Ltd. including its primary asset, the Nyanzaga Gold Project. In compliance with Canadian Instrument NI 43-101 these Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves remain treated as Foreign Estimates, not current Perseus estimates, until further work can be completed.

Technical Disclosure:

All Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources were calculated as of 30 June 2024 and have been calculated and prepared in accordance with the standards set out in the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves dated December 2012 (the "JORC Code") and in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators ("NI 43-101"). The JORC Code is the accepted reporting standard for the Australian Stock Exchange Limited ("ASX").

The definitions of Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources as set forth in the JORC Code (2012) have been reconciled to the definitions set forth in the CIM Definition Standards. If the Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources were estimated in accordance with the definitions in the JORC Code, there would be no substantive difference in such Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources.
