Indochine commenced this project over 2 years ago and has attracted a group of major offshore investors in the US, UK and Europe, due to the scale and grade of the project, including some of the world's top funds, BlackRock, Baker Steel and Capital Group.
Mt Kare is situated 15 km from the adjoining 28 Moz world-class Porgera gold mine, with which it shares many similarities. Porgera is one of the world's top 10 gold mines, with over 500,000 oz/yr production for over two decades, and has developed significant infrastructure, including roads and power lines, nearby to Mt Kare. Porgera started as a high grade underground mine and later developed a major open cut operation, now more than 500 metres deep.
The Mt Kare project's total Mineral Resource is 43 Mt at 1.5 g/t Au for 2.1 Moz Au, 18 Moz Ag or a 2.5 million ounce gold equivalent, with nearly 75% in the higher confidence Measured and Indicated category, based on 454 diamond drill holes (73,639 m) as at July 2013.
