![Kalimantan Gold Fiscal 2012 Results](https://www.minenportal.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
The highlights of the year and up to the date of the MD&A include:
- Surya Kencana LLC (“SK LLC”) elected to continue to sole fund exploration and feasibility study expenditures on the KSK CoW pursuant to the KSK Agreement
- $16 million budgeted for 2013 exploration program, including drilling, at KSK Contract of Work (“KSK CoW”)
- The Company regained control of 100% of Jelai gold project as Tigers Realm withdrew from the agreement
KSK CoW
Having completed the initial period of the KSK Agreement by sole funding exploration of $7,000,000 by early October 2012, SK LLC notified KLG that SK LLC has elected to continue to sole fund all remaining exploration and feasibility study expenditure under the KSK Agreement, subject to SK LLC’s right to withdraw from the Joint Venture in accordance with the terms of the KSK Agreement. A substantial drilling and exploration project at the KSK CoW of up to $16,200,000 for 2013 is underway.
Exploration activities at the KSK CoW have recently been focusing on delineation drilling and deep drilling at Beruang Kanan, deep drilling at Beruang Tengah, as well as reconnaissance mapping & sampling and prospect evaluations throughout the permitted area to further prioritize the drill targets. There are more than 300 workers involved in drilling and exploration activities over the permitted areas of the KSK CoW. All exploration activities are helicopter supported, using a B3 Squirrel operated by PT Hevilift Aviation Indonesia and the back up support of a Hughes MD500 helicopter operated by PT Intan Angkasa.
Resource delineation drilling at the Beruang Kanan copper prospect is well underway, with two rigs active since mid-2012. A third larger capacity rig is currently testing deeper levels of the Beruang Tengah porphyry Cu-Au-Mo system. A team of geologists are systematically mapping, sampling and evaluating eight of 16 known prospects throughout the CoW. This work has identified several new prospects and upgraded some existing prospects to drill ready targets. By mid February 2013 a total of 15,108m of drilling had been completed to date. The current drill production rate is approximately 2,500m per month.
During the 4th quarter of 2012, an Airborne Lidar survey (Light Detection And Ranging) was completed over 25,000 ha of the KSK CoW, including all major prospect locations. Results of the survey are being used to accurately map out / interpret geological and structural features that are known to control copper mineralization and the associated high resolution imagery has provided excellent accuracy for spotting drill-holes at the Beruang Kanan and Beruang Tengah prospects.
A fixed wing airborne gravity and magnetic survey is also planned for early in 2013 over the entire KSK CoW area.
Jelai
From November 7, 2011, until the option agreement was terminated effective September 30, 2012, activities on the Jelai project were funded by Tigers Realm Metals Pty Ltd. (“Tigers”).
Tigers completed 12 holes, for a total 3,318.9m during the term of the agreement. Tigers objective was to test continuity of high grade at depth and in shoots along strike, to define an initial gold resource at the Mewet Prospect. A total of eight holes were completed at the Mewet prospect, two deep holes into north and south Sembawang prospect and two scout holes at central and south Nyabi Prospect. Tigers did not achieve the results it expected in this modest 6-month drill test and they terminated the agreement.
Prior to the Tigers drill program, the Jelai project had a total of 126 shallow diamond drill holes totaling approximately 14,000m. Grid soils, surface mapping and drilling confirmed more than 6km combined strike length of low sulphidation, vein-style, epithermal, gold-silver mineralization, comprising the Mewet, Sembawang, Lipan and Nyabi veins. Previously, shallow drill holes targeted the central areas of the Mewet, Sembawang and Lipan Veins, with high grade mineralized shoots intersected at each.
The Company has placed the Jelai project on care and maintenance while it analyzes the results and determines the next step for the project. The Company intends to seek a new funding partner to continue exploration on this project.
Operations
The Company incurred a profit for the year ended December 31, 2012, of $62,715 (2011 – loss of $1,422,230). The Company earned management fees of $703,991 (2011 - $118,736) pursuant to the KSK Agreement and, until it was terminated in September, the Tigers agreement on Jelai. All of the Company’s exploration costs in the year, net of funding partner contributions and equipment rental payments, contributed a further $11,235 to the profit (2011 - $399,665 expenditure). Expenses were otherwise in line with the previous year.
