According to the company, the project development plans have been amended to reflect its decision to incorporate an additional 25% ore processing capacity in order to make way for an estimated increase in production.

The exploration licence application (ELA) spans an area of around 70km by 15km, covering known prospects within 50km² of Tulu Kapi.

“The exploration area reserved for KEFI covers numerous prospects in highly prospective structural corridors.”

KEFI Minerals executive chairman Harry Anagnostaras-Adams said: “The exploration area reserved for KEFI covers numerous prospects in highly prospective structural corridors, such as shallow gold mineralisation west of Tulu Kapi and high-grade gold-copper mineralisation north of Tulu Kapi, the common denominator being that all are within trucking distance of the planned Tulu Kapi processing infratsructure.

“It is in all stakeholders’ interests for KEFI to fully explore the Tulu Kapi District in order to maximise the scale and longevity of the operation. KEFI is confident that its focused exploration programmes will yield further economic discoveries in the district.”
