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 owns 100% of Tyacks Gold Ltd which owns
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.
