G2 Goldfields Achieves Milestone with New Prospecting Licenses
G2 Goldfields Inc. (“G2” or the “Company”) is thrilled to report significant progress in its journey towards advancing the Oko Gold Project. The Company has received approval for two Large Scale Prospecting Licenses, which cover the high-grade Oko-Ghanie Gold Deposit located in a region recognized for its rich mineral resources.
Strategic Steps Forward
The granting of these licenses marks a vital achievement for G2, demonstrating their commitment to unlocking the untapped potential of the Oko project. As G2 works towards production, they anticipate updating the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and conducting a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) in the near future. This proactive approach signals G2's readiness to advance their multi-million ounce project into production swiftly.
Leadership Comments on New Opportunity
Dan Noone, the CEO, expressed his enthusiasm about acquiring the Prospecting Licenses. He emphasized how this milestone solidifies the Company’s collaboration with local authorities, paving a clear path for exploration and development. The licenses not only represent progress in their operational endeavors but also signal G2’s readiness to harness the full potential of this gold-rich area.
Industry Recognition
Patrick Sheridan, Executive Chairman, pointed out that Guyana's recent acknowledgment as a leading jurisdiction for mining investments reflects the favorable conditions for exploration in the country. He noted that this project is the second significant gold mine launched by G2 in Guyana within two decades, highlighting the Company's long-standing commitment to the region's mining industry. G2 is excited to play a role in the further development of this promising sector.
Details of the Prospecting Licenses
The issued Large Scale Prospecting Licenses cover both the Oko and Ghanie Deposits, which boast a combined indicated resource of approximately 1.5 million ounces at a grade of 3.40 g/t gold and an inferred resource of around 1.6 million ounces at 2.48 g/t gold. The total area includes about 17,451 acres, replacing earlier held permits and renewing opportunities for exclusive exploration rights.
Environmental Commitment
In alignment with responsible mining practices, G2 has undertaken extensive environmental baseline studies to evaluate the project area. Conducted in collaboration with third-party consultants, these studies are instrumental in ensuring that the project adheres to regulatory requirements and fosters sustainable development. Importantly, the proposed site does not overlap with any priority conservation zones or Indigenous territories.
Advancements in Resource Estimation
As part of their commitment to transparency, G2 recently announced updates to the Mineral Resource Estimate for the Oko property. According to the latest reports, the total open pit and underground resources for the Oko Main Zone are noteworthy, with inferred resources estimated at approximately 513,500 ounces and indicated resources around 808,000 ounces. Similar promising figures are reported for the Ghanie Zone.
Expertise and Future Outlook
The resource estimation was conducted by Micon International Limited under the supervision of Dan Noone, a qualified individual under National Instrument 43-101 standards. Modern exploration methods employed in the region continue to unravel the considerable potential that the Oko district holds. With an enduring legacy of gold discovery within the Guiana Shield, G2 Goldfields is excited about the future prospects and aims to lead the way in gold exploration.
