Gold Exploration Portfolio
Gold development starts with the quality of evidence.
- Stage
- Exploration and evaluation
- Approach
- A portfolio approach to gold opportunities
- Basis
- Independent technical review
Genesis takes a portfolio approach to gold opportunities, advancing assets supported by evidence.
Work progresses from geological understanding through exploration, drilling, estimation and studies, without presuming discovery or production.
-
Selecting priorities
Opportunity quality, rights, access and the data base are assessed before work is expanded.
-
An exploration programme
Mapping, sampling, surveys, drilling and quality control are linked to reviews at each change in confidence.
Objective
To define and develop gold resources to international reporting standards, with independent technical review.
How the programme is staged
Stages describe the programme's sequence, not completed work.
- Target generation Remote sensing, alteration mapping and a spatial database identify and rank drill targets.
- Independent technical review An independent technical review of the assets, with peer review of deliverables.
- Exploration strategy review An independent review of exploration strategy, planning and target ranking.
- Licence and programme development Licence identification, programme development, standard operating procedures and quality-control design for an on-site laboratory.
- Resource definition and sign-off Drilling and resource estimation, with independent sign-off on any resource statement under a recognised reporting code.
