On February 24, 2022, Kinross {announced|introduced} that it had {completed|accomplished} the acquisition of Great Bear Resources Ltd.

"Although {we are|we're} {in the|within the} early days of exploring Eliza, these high-grade samples {provide|present} {further|additional} {evidence|proof} that the Project, {including|together with} the newly acquired California Patent, is an {exciting|thrilling} and {high|excessive} potential {area|space}," {stated|said|acknowledged} President & CEO Morgan Lekstrom. Gold Bull Resources Corp. intersects {significant|vital|important} gold mineralization at its Sandman Project in Nevada. The 2022 {phase|part|section} 1 drill program has drilled 15 holes totalling {3|three},038 metres. The mineralization has given {the company|the corporate} confidence {to extend|to increase} the drill program {to 5|to five},000 metres. Gold Bull Founder and CEO, Cherie Leeden sat down with Dave Jackson {to discuss|to debate} the {news|information}. Hole SA-0037 {also|additionally} intersected 1.5 m at {0|zero}.26 g/t Au from {77|seventy seven}.7 m and 1.5 m at {0|zero}.2 g/t Au from {160|one hundred sixty|a hundred and sixty} m .
The {more|extra} we drill, the {more|extra} ounces {we are|we're} defining {outside|outdoors|exterior} the {known|recognized|identified} {resource|useful resource} at Sandman. In addition to {adding|including} ounces, the {consistent|constant} grades returned from {within the|inside the|throughout the} North Hill deposit {including|together with} 32m of near-surface oxidized mineralization grading 1.31g/t Au (including a high-grade zone going 9.34 g/t gold over 1.5m) make for a compelling case {to investigate|to research|to analyze} the economics of a start-up operation. We have circa half {a million|one million|1,000,000} ounces of gold sitting at or {near|close to} the {surface|floor} and intend to {commence|begin|start} a Scoping Study after receiving the lab {results|outcomes} from this drill program.
Exploration, {study|research|examine}, and {permitting|allowing} {activities|actions} {continue|proceed} to ramp up {at the|on the} project, with {approximately|roughly} 200,000 metres of exploration and infill drilling {expected|anticipated} to be {completed|accomplished} in 2022. The drilling program will {continue|proceed} to {focus on|concentrate on|give {attention|consideration} to} the LP Fault zone, {the most|probably the most|essentially the most} {significant|vital|important} discovery {to date|so far|thus far} {at the|on the} project. There are {currently|presently|at present} eight diamond drills and two reverse-circulation rigs {active|lively|energetic} on {site|website|web site}. The RC rigs are being utilized for a grade {control|management} program {that is|that's} {expected|anticipated} {to inform|to tell} the continuity and distribution of the {high|excessive} grade {in the|within the} LP zone, {while|whereas} {also|additionally} testing grade {control|management} methodology.
Since March 2022, {approximately|roughly} {11|eleven},800 metres of the {planned|deliberate} 35,000-metre grade {control|management} program have been drilled. In Q1 2022, attributable all-in sustaining {cost|value|price} from {continuing|persevering with} operations per Au {oz.|ounces|oz} Sold on a by-product {basis|foundation} from {continuing|persevering with} operations was $1,241, {compared|in contrast} with $1,044 in Q1 2021.
"We are excited {about the|concerning the|in regards to the} future for Kinross which {includes a|features a} {production|manufacturing} profile that averages two million ounces a {year|yr|12 months} to {the end|the top|the tip} of {the decade|the {last|final} decade}, anchored by two tier one {assets|belongings|property} – Paracatu and Tasiast – accounting for {more than|greater than} half of our {production|manufacturing}, and a world-class {development|improvement|growth} project in Canada. Kinross maintained its 2022 company-wide {guidance|steerage|steering} for its pro-forma portfolio after excluding its {assets|belongings|property} from Russia and Ghana {due to|because of|as a {result|end result|outcome} of} their pending divestments.

The Lobo-Marte project in Chile continues {to provide|to offer|to supply} optionality for Kinross' long-term portfolio as {a potential|a possible} {large|giant|massive}, low-cost mine, following the completion of the project feasibility {study|research|examine} in November 2021.
