The Jonnagiri Gold Mine Project is located near the Jonnagiri, Erragudi and Pagadirayi villages within the Tuggali Mandalam in the Kurnool District of Andhra Pradesh State . GMSI has a granted mining lease covering 597.82ha (1,477.24 acres), the centre of which is situated at about 3.0km northeast of Jonnagiri Village. Gold mineralization in the License area is distributed in 4 blocks, namely East, West, South and North Blocks. Geomysore has conducted detailed exploration in the East and West Blocks, to achieve 361,000 ounces of Mineral Resource (JORC Indicated and Inferred categories), out of which approximately 271,000 ounces is open pit. Detailed drilling and rigorous internal evaluation of results indicate the presence of 6.8 tons of mineable gold in the open pit of the East Block for a total depth of 180 m, with a mine life of 8 to 9 years. Upon further detailed drilling in the remaining blocks, the resources could potentially increase to 14 tons of mineable gold, with a mine life to about 15 years. The project is expected to start the full scale commercial production from the third quarter of 2024.
