Announcement summary: | Perseus Mining Limited (ASX/TSX: PRU) has completed a Feasibility Study on the Nkosuo Project, located approximately seven kilometres north-northwest of its Edikan Gold Mine in Ghana, adding substantial Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves to Edikan’s previously published inventory. Nkosuo is located in Ghana, West Africa, approximately 40 kilometres southwest of the regional town of Obuasi, 200 kilometres west-northwest of the capital Accra and seven kilometres to the north-northwest of Perseus’s Edikan Gold Mine near the town of Ayanfuri. A Feasibility Study has been completed on the development of mineralisation discovered by Perseus at Nkosuo resulting in the estimation of an Ore Reserve of 332,000 ounces (contained) producing 272,000 ounces (recovered) over three years of mining. All in site costs (AISCs) are expected to be in the range of US$870-US$890 per ounce for Nkosuo. The area of the Nkosuo Project is underlain principally by Paleoproterozoic Birimian flysch-type metasediments consisting of dacitic volcaniclastics, greywackes plus argillaceous (phyllitic) sediments, intensely folded, faulted and metamorphosed to upper greenschist facies. Numerous small “Basin-type” or “Cape Coast-type” granite bodies have intruded the sediments along several regional structures. |
