About Tolu Minerals Limited
Tolu’s growth strategy involves the exploration and appraisal of its highly prospective pipeline of gold, copper and silver assets leveraging the infrastructure of Tolukuma Gold Mine (Tolukuma), returning Tolukuma to high grade gold silver production and aspires to become a leading gold, copper and silver producer in Papua New Guinea (PNG) whilst adopting leading environmental standards and enhancing the lives of employees, local communities and PNG nationals.
Tolu is focussed on the exploration and development of gold, copper and silver resources in the prolific PNG epithermal gold/copper producing district. Tolu has acquired a large and very prospective portfolio leveraging the refurbishment of the existing high grade and fully permitted Tolukuma, approximately 100 km North of the PNG capital Port Moresby, that has a history of producing a gold/silver doré having already produced approximately 1 Moz gold at an average recovered grade of 15 g/t gold with a further 50 g/t silver.
Tolukuma currently has a Mineral Resource Estimate, prepared in accordance with the JORC Code (2012), of 1.6 M tonnes at 10 g/t Au and 38 g/t Ag containing 503 Koz gold and 1.9 Moz silver. (AMC 18 August 2022, AMC Independent Geologists Report October 2022, available on www.toluminerals.com).
In December 2023 Tolu announced an Exploration Target of 2 to 3 Moz gold grading 8 to 11 g/t gold on and adjacent to Tolukuma Gold Mine, (ASX announcement dated 11 December 2023, www.toluminerals.com).
Tolu has successfully completed the 100% acquisition of Tolukuma along with its associated assets and mine infrastructure and seven exploration permits surrounding Tolukuma, with a further application underway. Tolu has a clear strategy to restart Tolukuma and subsequently to leverage the wider Tolukuma area resource and infrastructure into a large, world-class gold mining project.
Tolu has also secured 100% exploration rights over the Mt. Penck (EL 2662) on the Island of New Britain PNG (Mt Penck).
Tolu has therefore secured 100% ownership of a prospective pipeline of gold, silver, copper projects totalling some 1,700 km2.
Tolu has assembled a strong team with both international and PNG experience with a track record of exploration, project development and operations, with a particular focus on restart projects and capital raising in the mining and other sectors and is well qualified to develop and maximise the potential of Tolukuma and Mt Penck.
