Management comment Ausgold Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director , Dr Matthew Greentree commented : " This quarter saw the culmination of an extensive 31,000m drilling program that has underpinned the 28 % upgrade to a 1.54 Moz Resource at Katanning . This new Resource is transformational in the sense that it creates a meaningful foundation for a large scale mining operation at the KGP . Our improved geological model has substantially increased the Measured and Indicated Resource to over 72 % of total ounces , and for the first time , we have reported a high - grade underground Resource with clear extensions of gold mineralisation which remain open at depth . Importantly , we have a whole - of - belt play , with low structural costs that provides significant exploration opportunities that have the potential to transform the scale of the Katanning Gold Project .
