The newest resource definition was completed according to JORC 2012 code by the industry-leading consulting company Xenith. The data used for the resource definition were based on our three large drilling programs since 2014 (details see in exploration).
The defined mineral resources are located in EL 28291, and a total of 144 million tonnes of resources was defined, of which 139.2 million tonnes are on measured and indicated basis.
