An infill drill programme Endeavour Mining’s North Kao deposit, located at the Karma gold mine in Burkina Faso, has confirmed the continuity of the previous inferred resource, resulting in a maiden indicated resource of 314 000 oz amenable to heap leaching and a subsequent conversion of 262 000 oz to reserves. The programme was completed last year and comprised 68 core holes of 7 571 m and 488 reverse circulation holes of 39 554 m. The sections were spaced by 50 m, with 35 m between holes.
