There are 2.1 million inferred tonnes grading 4.22 g/t gold and 10.9 g/t silver. Some of this tonnage can become measured and indicated, for which there are currently 2.4 million tonnes at 4.95 g/t gold and 14.7 g/t silver. Goliath also has open pit potential with measured and indicated resources of 18.2 million tonnes grading 1.26 g/t gold and 5.2 g/t silver, plus an inferred resource of 1.4 million tonnes at 0.99 g/t gold and 4.3 g/t silver. The remaining 15,000 metres of drilling will focus on known areas of underground mineralization, notably in the central area of the Main zone as well as along strike to the northwest of the proposed open pit. Treasury hopes to complete a feasibility study for Goliath in 2018, begin construction the following year, and reach production in 2020.
