Cluff Gold plc: Update on Resource, Reserves and Brownfield Exploration Plans
|
|
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - March 8, 2010) - Cluff Gold plc ("Cluff Gold" or the "Company") (TSX:CFG)(AIM:CLF) -
Cluff Gold plc, the AIM/TSX listed West African-focused gold mining company, announces the 31 December 2009 resource and reserve position at its operating mines in Burkina Faso and Cote d'Ivoire, together with exploration plans for these projects. The Company intends to investigate further the significant oxide and sulphide mineralisation potential at both operations.
HIGHLIGHTS
Kalsaka (78% owned), Burkina Faso:
-- Reserves at Kalsaka at 1January 2010 contain 298,000ozs of gold,
sufficient for a further three and a half years of production at the
current plant capacity of 1.6Mtpa.
-- Follow-up drill programme focusing on four near-plant prospects where
previous drilling has shown potential for additional resources.
-- A regional exploration programme will focus on a number of structures
within the 20 kilometre prospective corridor that are considered to have
the potential to host a resource at least equivalent in magnitude to
that already defined at Kalsaka.
-- A recent review of historical drill data shows that there is potential
for sulphide mineralisation below the current oxide resources. For
example, hole KRCS 1093 intersected 16m @ 4.73 g/t Au from 133 metres
downhole depth with the last three metres grading 10.23 g/t Au.
Angovia (90% owned), Cote d'Ivoire:
-- Reserves at Angovia at 1 January 2010 contain 89,000ozs of gold,
sufficient for a further two years of production at the current plant
capacity of 1.08Mtpa.
-- New exploration programme is planned to target gold deposits close to
the processing plant.
-- Drill targets include the historically known Kongonza prospect with
known mineralisation as in drill holes:
-- ARC039, which intersected 16m @ 3.80g/t Au from 79 metres downhole
depth
-- ARC042, which intersected 14m @ 4.41 g/t Au from 52 metres downhole
depth, as announced on 14 November 2005.
-- Further potential for long term exploration of other prospects indicated
by gold mineralisation in a number of holes including ARC024 which
intersected 30m @ 3.64 g/t Au including 21m @ 4.58g/t Au in sulphides as
announced in November 2005.
Douglas Chikohora, Technical Director, commented:
"The full commissioning of our operations last year both marked a significant milestone for the Company and was a critical step in achieving our production rate goals. Our operational strategy for the year is to focus on proving up the significant additional gold potential which exists around our current operations by further exploration in the surrounding areas of interest. This strategy, funded from operational cash flow, will enable Cluff Gold to replace the reserves and resources at the mines as they are depleted and realise a longer mine life."

----------- -------- --------------------
(i)The transitional material constitutes less than 10% of the reserves and
are treatable in the existing processing plant with minor modifications.
The reserves represent an existing mine life of three and a half years at the current throughput of 1.6Mtpa. The original feasibility study was based on a throughput of 1.2Mtpa.
Exploration plans for 2010 will primarily target the known drill-tested prospects close to the existing processing plant. The initial programme is for 10,000 metres of reverse circulation drilling which is expected to begin in H2 of 2010 when a rig is available. The planned drilling will also cover the nearby Yako licence where an inferred JORC compliant resource of 153,000 ounces has been independently estimated, as announced in December 2004.
Regional exploration is planned to cover the prospective trends identified from historical exploration work. Analysis of this information suggests that the shear structures and adjacent stratigraphy have the potential to host a resource at least equivalent in magnitude to that already defined at Kalsaka.
In addition to the known oxide mineralisation in the area, a recent review and interpretation of historical drill data shows the potential for sulphide mineralisation down-dip of the current oxide resources. For example, hole KRCS 1093, which stopped in mineralisation, intersected 16m @ 4.73 g/t Au from 133 metres downhole depth with the last three metres grading 10.23 g/t Au.
Angovia Gold Mine
The resource and reserve position for the Mine, in accordance with NI 43-101, is summarised in the tables below:

----------- -------- --------------------
(i)The transitional material constitutes less than 10% of the reserves and
are treatable in the existing processing plant with minor modifications.
The reserves represent an existing mine life of about two years at the current throughput of 1.08Mtpa.
The Company is targeting additional resources of some 0.75Mt grading 1.5 g/t which could be converted to reserves following more plant modifications. A technical study is currently underway and an update will be released once this work is finalised.
The exploration plans for 2010 focus on near surface gold-in-laterite and gold-in-saprolite deposits. These ore types can be treated in the existing processing plant. Up to 5,000 metres of reverse circulation drilling is planned from Q2 2010 targeting both gold-in-laterite and gold-in-saprolite deposits.
In addition to the known oxide mineralisation in the area, Angovia has a measured and indicated sulphide resource of over 250,000ozs. Drill data indicates clear potential for additional sulphide mineralisation underneath the existing oxides which represent long term exploration potential for the mine.
About Cluff Gold
Cluff Gold is focused on the identification, acquisition and development of gold deposits in West Africa that are amenable to open-pit mining and low cost production techniques. The Company has assembled a portfolio of mineral interests at various stages of development in Cote d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone and Mali. Cluff Gold progressed from being an explorer to a producer in Q1 2008 and is expected to produce a total of 100,000 ounces of gold in 2010 from its Angovia Gold Mine in Cote d'Ivoire and from its Kalsaka Gold Mine in Burkina Faso. Cluff Gold is actively evaluating known satellite deposits to expand the resource base at both mines. The Company is also pushing forwards with the pre-feasibility study at its wholly-owned Baomahun project in Sierra Leone where a measured and indicated resource estimated to contain over 1.0 million ounces of gold, in accordance with NI 43-101, has been announced to date.
Douglas D Chikohora has reviewed and approved the geological information contained within this announcement in the context of the AIM Guidelines for Mining and Oil Companies.
