Cluff Gold plc, the West African focused gold mining company



Kalsaka Gold Mine

The Kalsaka Gold Mine is located approximately 150km north west of Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, and contains an oxide gold mineral resource that has already been demonstrated, by a feasibility study, to be technically amenable to open-pit mining and processing via heap leaching. The Company poured the first gold in October of 2008. The projected annualized gold production is 60,000 ounces. The mine has total measured and indicated resource of 12.1 million tones at 1.6 g/t Au and 3.3 million tones of inferred resource at 1.5g/t Au. The ore bodies are amenable to open-pit mining and heap leach processing methods. Cluff has a 78% ownership of the Kalaska Gold Mine, the remaining interest being held by the Company’s local partner, IMAR-B (12%) and the government of Burkina Faso (10% free-carried interest)
