Name of the Project
Crown Prince gold project.

Location
Near Meekatharra, in Western Australia.

Project Owner/s
Ora Gold.

Project Description
Crown Prince has total resources of 479 000 t grading 3.6 g/t gold.

Ora Gold proposes to develop an openpit mine on the Crown Prince deposit to recover more than 177 000 t at an average grade of 4.14 g/t gold at a waste-to-ore stripping ratio of 10:1 (tonnes) for 24 444 oz of gold.

The initial mine plan is based on a two-stage pit design, with a small Stage 1 pit design to provide an estimated 46 000 t at 5.8 g/t gold at a stripping ratio of 8:1, which will access high-grade ore a few months earlier than mining the pit in a single pass.

The project has a mine life of 15 to 18 months, including establishment and closure.

There are six processing plants within a 200 km radius in the region surrounding the Crown Prince project. Discussions have been held with a local plant operator regarding the processing of the Crown Prince ore.
