Panthera believes the Kalaka property has the potential for large-scale gold mineralisation.

Historical drilling at the K1A target has revealed significant mineralisation widths within a broad 0.5 grams per tonne of gold mineralisation envelope, indicating the project’s promising prospects.

Panthera managing director Mark Bolton said: “Following a recent re-evaluation of the historical database at Kalaka and improved gold prices, the company has elected to expand its focus at Kalaka. The change in ownership interest in Kalaka better aligns with its planned activities.

“We believe that Kalaka is a significant mineralised gold system with the potential for a multi-million-ounce gold resource. The company believes that the strong gold price will underpin a lower grade, bulk tonnage development strategy.”
