1 The Karouni processing facility was placed in care and maintenance in August 2021. The cash and AISC for the quarter are based upon July 2021 production figures only.
During July 2021, material mined came from the Goldstar and Smarts pit. Mining was expected to continue during August and September at Goldstar with processing of the remaining low grade stockpiles. However, in late June, it was established that both the grade and tonnage of the low grade stockpiles were less than previously estimated and, as a result, the decision was made to suspend mining and commence a period of care and maintenance.
A comprehensive care and maintenance program is in place which includes a defined schedule of weekly and monthly checks on plant and mobile equipment to ensure the integrity and operability of the Company's physical assets are maintained during this period. The main power station has been shutdown to reduce fuel costs, with power now being supplied by portable generators installed at primary locations such as the camp, mill and administration office.
Tonnes milled during the period were sourced from material mined from Goldstar, as well as the processing of the low grade stockpiles. The mill ceased processing ore in July 2021. Cleaning out of the carbon-in-leach circuit, ball mill, thickener and elution circuits occurred over the period July to September 2021. In September 2021, Troy began to liquidate some of its short shelf-life reagent inventory.
SMARTS UNDERGROUND DEVELOPMENT
During the period to 31 December 2021, the Company completed a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) on the Smarts Underground, culminating in the announcement of the 'Maiden Smarts Underground Ore Reserve' on the ASX on 26 July 2021.
This PFS concluded that the Smarts Underground deposit was economically viable based on the parameters incorporated in the evaluation.
Review of the geotechnical and mine design has been ongoing with opportunities for improvement in the stope designs and ventilation system identified.
EXPLORATION
Gem Creek
Exploration activities focussed on the Gem Creek prospect with both reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling. Forty nine RC holes were completed for a total of 3,978 metres and an additional three diamond drill holes for a total of 595.5 metres. The drilling was completed in the central block, where gold mineralisation was previously reported within a strong silica altered andesite with disseminated pyrite and stockwork like quartz veins with visible gold. The altered andesite is located between fresh MgO basalt in the footwall and carbonaceous shales in the hanging wall. The completed RC and diamond drilling intersected more of the altered andesite with strong silica alteration, stockwork veining and fine disseminated pyrite.
Barrick Joint Venture
On 1 July 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into an Earn-In Agreement with Barrick Gold Corporation (Barrick) concerning various tenements including the Potaro and Kuribrong targets.
Barrick has advised that initial prospecting, involving mapping and rock chip sampling in drainages cutting through the sand, is exposing complex and varied geology and parallel shear zones. A geological and geochemical screening program is in planning to test the Makapa-Kuribrong Shear Zone, which will comprise Bulk Leach Extractable Gold stream sediment sampling of drainages in areas where drainages penetrate the sand cover, and an aircore drilling program in areas of sand cover to test the bedrock potential.
At the Potaro prospect, field mapping and a rock chip sampling program, designed to ground-truth the existing geologic map interpreted from aeromagnetic data, indicates that the project area contains more complex lithologies than interpreted, including metasediments, felsic volcanics, intermediate to mafic volcanics, and dioritic intrusions. Mapping south of the Bartica-Potaro road is largely complete and this area will be followed up with a Bulk Leach Extractable Gold stream sediment sampling program.
At the Apanachi Prospect, situated to the northwest of the project area, exploration activities consisted of geologic mapping and rock chip sampling, with results pending.
CORPORATE
On 1 July 2021, the Company announced that in connection with the Barrick Earn-In Agreement, Barrick had also subscribed for 39,033,254 fully paid ordinary shares at a price of US$0.0308 per share ($0.041 per share), raising approximately US$1.2 million.
On 18 August 2021, the Company issued 16,213,609 fully paid ordinary shares to a creditor of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Troy Resources Guyana Inc., to extinguish $681,477 in trade payable debt.
On 21 September 2021, the Company announced the passing of Mr Ken Nilsson, the Company's CEO and Managing Director.
Mr Richard Beazley was appointed interim CEO and Managing Director whilst the Company completes the partial recapitalisation.
Company Recapitalisation
In late August 2021, the Company entered into voluntary suspension from the Australian Securities Exchange, whilst it considered its financial position in relation to the Karouni processing facility entering into a care and maintenance period.
On both 5 January 2022 and 1 February 2022, the Company announced that it had entered into a series of agreements that will, if approved by shareholders, achieve a recapitalisation of the Company.
The transactions include the conversion of approximately $20.9 million in current debt to equity and the raising of $7.2 million in funds.
