Notes:
Caracal Gold plc is an expanding East African focused gold producer with a
clear path to grow production and resources both organically and through
strategic acquisitions. Its aim is to rapidly increase production to
+50,000ozs p.a. and build a JORC compliant resource base of +3Moz. The company
is progressing a well-defined mine optimisation strategy at its 100% owned
Kilimapesa Gold Mine in Kenya, where there is significant mid-term expansion
potential and the ability to increase gold production to 24,000oz p.a. and the
resource to +2Moz (current JORC compliant resources of approx. 706,000oz).
Alongside this, Caracal is undertaking a targeted exploration programme at the
Nyakafuru Project in Tanzania, which has an established high-grade shallow
gold resource of 658,751oz at 2.08g/t contained within four deposits over 280
km2 and appears amenable to development as a large scale conventional open pit
operation.
Caracal's experienced team has a proven track record in successfully
developing and operating mining projects throughout Africa.
The Company is a responsible mining and exploration company and supports the
positive social and economic change that it contributes to the communities in
the regions that it operates. It is a proudly East African-focused company: it
buys locally, employs locally, and protects the environment and its employees
and their families' health, safety, and wellbeing.
