GOR has planned the growth for its Gruyere Gold Mine, in which the company would try to inch up the gold production while decreasing the all-in sustaining cost of the production.

Apart from gold production in Gruyere, GOR conducts exploration over other tenements and prospects as well to inch up the production, as a high gold price prompts the company to take advantage.

Gold Road recently inched up the Ore Reserves in December by 5% which now for the prospect stands at 3.92 million ounces with an increased grade of 1.25g/t of gold.

The total Mineral Resources including measured, inferred, indicative of the company stands at 155 million tonnes with an average grade of 1.32g/t of gold, which, in turn, would account for 6.61 million ounces of gold.

The total Ore Reserves of the company including both probable and proven stands at 97 million tonnes with an average grade of 1.25g/t of gold, which in turn, would account for 3.92 million ounces of gold.

Apart from the Gruyere project, the company is focussed on developing the Yamarna prospect. And, the company drilled about 2,840 holes in 2018 with 147,000 metres of drilling. The allocated budget for Yamarna discovery is at 20 million for the year 2019.
