Kiniero Project’s Production Timeline Hinges on Continued Exploration and Permitting

Robex Advances Kiniero Gold Project with Robust Grade Control Drilling

Robex Resources Inc. has announced the completion of its Phase 1 pre-production grade control drilling program at the Sabali South deposit, part of the Kiniero Gold Project in Guinea, West Africa. The results confirm not only the presence of strong, continuous mineralisation but also an increase in estimated tonnage and grade compared to previous Mineral Resource models.

The grade control drilling, designed to infill resource estimation and provide detailed data ahead of mining, returned impressive intercepts including 10 metres at 30.10 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from a shallow depth of 12 metres. Other notable results include 24 metres at 8.13 g/t and 11 metres at 11.12 g/t, underscoring the deposit’s high-grade potential.

Upgraded Grade Control Model Supports Mining Plans

The newly developed grade control model reports an 11.15% increase in tonnes, a 3.08% uplift in grade, and 14.58% more contained gold ounces relative to the prior Mineral Resource model. This positive reconciliation provides greater confidence in the resource base and supports the company’s mining schedule, which remains on track for first gold production in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Drilling targeted mineralisation within the laterite, mottled, and saprolite zones, focusing on the early mining benches of the proposed open pit. The program’s 2,478 inclined drill holes, totaling nearly 62,000 metres, were completed on a tight 7.5 by 7.5-metre grid, ensuring detailed spatial resolution of the orebody.

Rigorous Quality Assurance and Geological Context

Robex employed comprehensive quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) protocols, including the routine insertion of certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates, both in the field and laboratory. Independent reviews confirm the assay data’s accuracy and precision, reinforcing the reliability of the grade control model for mine planning.

The Kiniero Gold Project’s mineralisation is hosted in structurally controlled, orogenic gold deposits characterized by narrow quartz-sulphide veins and stockworks. The complex veinlet system, while challenging for sampling, has been effectively delineated through the extensive drilling campaign, with drill orientations designed to intersect mineralisation at high angles to minimize bias.

Looking Ahead, Exploration and Development

While the current drilling confirms robust mineralisation in the upper regolith profile, many deposits within the Kiniero project remain open at depth and along strike. Robex plans further drilling to explore these extensions and to refine the mine plan. The company’s ongoing efforts to secure necessary permits and financing will be critical to maintaining its development timeline.

Robex’s Managing Director Matt Wilcox expressed confidence in the project’s trajectory, highlighting the grade control results as a key milestone in advancing towards production. With a solid technical foundation and a clear path forward, Kiniero is poised to become a significant gold producer in West Africa.
