Subsequently, Labyrinth announced in September 2022, that a JORC-Compliant Inferred Mineral Resource of 3 million tonnes at 5.0 g/t Au for 500,000 oz. Au was estimated at a 3 g/t Au cut-off. There was a notable high-grade component of 150,000 oz.

Au at 10 g/t Au (above 6 g/t Au cut-off) (per Rene Sterk Consulting). The orebody is accessible via an existing ramp and three levels. Work by Labyrinth has indicated significant potential to increase the resource both along strike and to depth.
