2024 Mineral Resources
Indicated: 1.47 Mt for 408 koz Au. Inferred: 2.06 Mt at 7.31 g/t Au for 484 koz.
The Perch Zone discovery returned broad gold mineralization with narrower high-grade sections, similar in reported length and grade to selected early drill results at nearby Hasaga.
Size and scope of mineralization at Hasaga is not necessarily indicative of mineralization at McKenzie. Selected intercept comparisons do not establish comparable deposit size, continuity or economic potential.
