“During the third quarter, we continued our success expanding resources in the Khundii Gold District, while preparing the Bayan Khundii Gold Project for development,” said Peter Akerley, Erdene’s President and CEO. “Results from recent drilling confirmed, and in some cases extended, high-grade mineralization in the planned Bayan Khundii starter pits. Furthermore, regional exploration drilling over the past three months tested several new targets that have the potential to add resources in our Khundii Gold District.”

“Concurrently, we prepared Bayan Khundii for construction. Preparatory site works are complete, permits have been received for most facilities, and we are seeing supply chain issues ease at the China-Mongolia border,” continued Mr. Akerley. “Supported by the recent discoveries at Dark Horse and Ulaan, Erdene is undertaking design and value engineering work to optimize Bayan Khundii plant throughput and bring forward grade, including evaluating the addition of a gravity circuit, targeting a 15 – 25% increase in average annual gold production compared to the BFS.  We will provide updates on this work as the information becomes available.”  

Q3 2022 Highlights and Significant Subsequent Events:

Bayan Khundii Gold Project – 100% Erdene

  • Progressed construction readiness activities for the Bayan Khundii Gold Project:
  • Кемпийн өргөтгөл, харилцаа холбооны дэд бүтцийг шинэчлэх, төслийн хяналтын программ хангамж зэрэг урьдчилсан ажлуудыг хийж дуусгасан.
  • Томоохон тоног төхөөрөмжийн нийлүүлэлт болон бүтээн байгуулалтын ажлын шинэчилсэн үнийн саналыг хүлээн авсан.
  • Launched optimization and value engineering studies focused on mine planning, gravity recovery and gold processing
  • Эрсдэлийг тодорхойлох хөтөлбөрийг өргөжүүлж, олон нийтийн оролцоотой байгаль орчны хяналтыг эхлүүлсэн.
  • Бүтээн байгуулалтыг эхлүүлэхэд шаардлагатай тѳрийн захиргааны байгууллагуудын зөвшөөрлүүдийг авсан:
  • Received approval for the process plant and integrated mineral waste facility (“IWF”) detailed designs
    • The IWF is the first in Mongolia to contain dry tailings within mine waste rock, reducing environmental risks and minimizing land disturbance
  • Obtained regulatory approval for 11 major project facilities, eight of which include construction permits
  • Continued local community programs in advance of full construction:
  • Renewed the Local Cooperation Agreement with Provincial and Sub-Provincial governments, committing the parties to transparently supporting community development
  • Planted over 10,000 trees as part of the Company’s one million tree commitment in support of the Mongolian President’s Billion Trees Program
  • Trained over 100 local residents of whom nearly 30 were employed at site in 2022

Exploration

  • Completed approximately 4,200 metres of drilling in Q3 at Bayan Khundii, Dark Horse and Ulaan
  • Bayan Khundii drilling confirmed high-grade, near-surface mineralization in proposed starter pits
  • Results from drilling at Dark Horse and Ulaan are pending and expected in mid-Q4
  • Reported results from Bayan Khundii starter pits, including multiple high-grade intersections
  • Drilling confirmed and locally extended high-grade zones modelled in BK economic pits
    • 29.6 g/t gold over 4m, within 16m of 8 g/t gold (BKD-358)
    • 68.0 g/t gold over 2m, within 10m of 14.4 g/t gold (BKD-361)
    • 32.6 g/t gold over 2m, within 20m of 10.4 g/t gold (BKD-369)
    • 67.5 g/t gold over 1m, within 7m of 11.8 g/t gold (BKD-354)
    • 39.6 g/t gold over 1m, within 10m of 5.7 g/t gold (BKD-356)
  • Also collected ore for gravity processing test work from these very high-grade zones
  • Engaged RPM Global to update resources for the KGD     
  • Targeting 2 million ounces gold equivalent from Bayan Khundii, Altan Nar, Ulaan and Dark Horse

Компанийн тухай

  • Closed a $7.2 million financing led by $2.0 million investment from Eric Sprott
  • Proceeds have been used to fund exploration, including follow up drilling at the recent Ulaan and Dark Horse discoveries, site establishment work for the Company’s Bayan Khundii Gold Project development, and for general working capital purposes
  • Progressed due diligence for the Bayan Khundii Project Finance with EDC and other financiers
  • EDC term sheet agreed, pending finalization of project mine plan, schedule and budget, anticipated in early 2023
  • Discussions are proceeding in parallel with Mongolian and International financiers on subordinated debt and other alternative instruments

  • Corporate and administration expenses totaled $1,791,332 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $1,594,223 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as lower share-based compensation and investor relations and marketing expenditures were more than offset by higher administrative salaries, professional fees and travel and accommodations expenditures in support of pre-development and financing work for the Bayan Khundii Gold Project as well as increased regulatory fees driven by growth in the Company’s market capitalization
