An updated resource estimate reflected an 82% increase to 2.45 Moz Au Eq (gold equivalent) vs the 2017 reserve/resource estimate of 1.35 Moz. 88% of the 2021 resource is in the M&I category. The significant increase in resources was a result of resource expansion at ATO-4 (one of three known mineralized pipes), inclusion of a maiden resource at Mungu, and lower cut-off grades amid higher gold prices.

Unlike most gold producers, Steppe Gold’s operations have not been materially impacted by the pandemic as most employees reside on-site. Also, as 100% of the produced gold is sold within Mongolia, the company is not reliant on export channels.

Since our introductory note in April 2020, Steppe Gold Limited (“company”, “Steppe”) is up 172%.
