Name of the Project
Kurmuk gold project.

Location
Benishangul Gumuz region of western Ethiopia.

Project Owner/s
Kurmuk Gold Mine, a wholly owned subsidiary of Allied Gold.

Project Description
Kurmuk has been designed as a two-phase project.

The Kurmuk development plan proposes the upgrading of the processing plant’s capacity from 4.4-million tonnes a year to 5.4-million to 5.7-million tonnes a year. This expansion uses major equipment already owned by the company.

The expanded project aims to achieve average gold production of nearly 275 000 oz/y for the first four years and an average of over 240 000 oz/y over a ten-year mine life, based solely on mineral reserves. This compares favourably with the original project, which would have averaged gold production of 200 000 oz/y with similar capital costs.

Potential Job Creation

Net Present Value/Internal Rate of Return
Not stated.

Capital Expenditure
Total capital is estimated at $500-million.

Planned Start/End Date
