Robertson's Inferred Gold Resource Increases 47%
VANCOUVER, BC - Coral Gold Resources Ltd. reported that it has received the revised resources for Robertson Property utilizing lower cut-off grades to reflect positive movement in the price of gold over the last three years. These revised values are based on the NI 43-101 Technical Report titled Mineral Resource Estimate for the Robertson Property,
The original estimate was based on a gold price of US$600 per ounce which was a conservative estimate of gold prices in 2007, which estimated the inferred gold resources for the Robertson property at over 2.3 million ounces of gold. Gold prices over the last three years have been significantly higher than US$600 and all indicators point towards higher prices in the near, medium and long-term future. Therefore, it is reasonable and prudent to revise the resource estimate with a higher gold price and by extension, cut-off grade which is the threshold gold grade at which the resources are reported and considered to have a reasonable expectation of economic extraction.
Based on more reasonable gold prices that reflect the rolling average for the preceding three years, it was decided that of US$850 per ounce should be used at this time to more accurately represent the resources that may be reasonably expected to be extracted. Based on this lower gold cut-off value of 0.0106, the gold resource at Robertson increases to 3.4 million ounces, which is a 47% increase from the previously reported figure. It should be noted that changes in operating costs may change this figure. No work has been done to reflect and change in operating costs as estimated in the
