More than a year after scooping up the exploration poster boys of Red Lake, Kinross Gold published a first-ever gold resource estimate of its Great Bear Project last week.
Kinross is convinced Great Bear will be a top tier, high-grade and long-lasting open pit and underground mine. The company acquired the project, then known as the Dixie Project, in late 2021 without a resource estimate ever being published by Great Bear Resources of Vancouver.
In a news release, Toronto-based Kinross said it carried out 250,000 metres of drilling last year to produce an initial mineral resource estimate of 2.7 million ounces of indicated resources and 2.3 million ounces of inferred resource.
