Kili Teke – Gold & Copper
253km²
Barrick – Porgera operating gold mine
Exploration
The Kili Teke Porphyry Complex, situated within a 253 km² area fully owned and recently acquired from Harmony Gold in 2023, represents a substantial asset located 40 km west of Barrick/Zijin’s operating Porgera Gold Mine and 20 km northwest of the Mt. Kare gold deposit. The project hosts a 2017 Inferred Mineral Resource of 1.81 Moz Au, 802 kt Cu & 40 kt Mo. Results from a recent targeting exercise have revealed 10 new porphyry, skarn and “Porgera-style” Au exploration targets proximal to the Central Porphyry. Only partially tested, it’s widely believed that further exploration could greatly add to its metal inventory.

Barrick – Porgera operating gold mine
The Kili Teke Porphyry Complex, situated within a 252 km² area fully owned and recently acquired from Harmony Gold in 2023, represents a substantial asset located 20 km northwest of the Mt. Kare gold deposit and 40 km west of Barrick’s operating Porgera gold mine. The project hosts a 2017 Inferred Mineral Resource of 237 million tonnes at 0.6% CuEq, including 0.34% Cu, 0.24 g/t Au, and 168 ppm Mo, totaling 802 kt Cu, 1.81 Moz Au, and 40 kt Mo. Only partially tested, it’s widely believed that further exploration could greatly add to its metal inventory.

Multiple catalysts for re-rating with further expansion drilling and targeted exploration of proximal prospects
Approximately two-thirds of the tenure has yet to be explored by SPMC, presenting significant exploration opportunities
This complex is only partially tested, with significant mineralization potential below 650 m. There is considerable scope to augment the project’s metal inventory through infill and expansion drilling at the Kili Teke site itself, as well as drill testing multiple copper and gold mineralized prospects adjacent to and associated with Kili Teke.
Results from a recently completed targeting exercise using ALS Geoanalytics’ advanced technologies including geochemical analysis, 3D modelling and machine learning, have revealed 10 new exploration targets proximal to Kili Teke’s Central Porphyry which currently hosts an Inferred mineral resource of 1.81 Moz Au, 802 kt Cu & 40 kt Mo.
This project features a large-scale copper-gold porphyry system encompassing a significant mineralization and alteration footprint measuring 2.5×1.5 km. The site is noted for its association with high-grade skarns and breccias, indicative of proximal stockwork intrusions and skarn and intrusion-related gold mineralization.
