Kora

Principal producing deposit of the Kainantu Gold Mine, a high-grade intrusion-related gold-copper-silver vein system combining the former Kora, Eutompi and Kora North deposits following the May 2017 Kora North near-mine discovery. Comprises two parallel, steeply west-dipping quartz-sulphide vein systems (K1 and K2) plus the linking Kora Link structure, within a mineralized zone more than 2.5 km long, 60-80 m wide and over 1,000 m of down-dip continuity; veins reach up to 10 m in width. Mining is by Avoca and modified Avoca methods transitioning to longhole stoping with pastefill. Approximately two-thirds of the known Kora resource sits within mining lease ML150, with the deposit extending south into EL470 where a mining lease application is required prior to mining. The lode is richer in copper towards the south (Kora South), a priority corridor in the ongoing exploration program toward the A1 porphyry target. Underground drilling continues at Kora, Kora South and Kora Deeps, where 2025 drilling expanded a high-grade dilatant zone.
