In the first new agreement, three exploration properties in the Ngayu gold belt previously held by Barrick outside of its JV with Loncor, have now been added to an existing Loncor/Barrick JV agreement. These three Barrick properties are located northwest of Loncor's 100%-owned Makapela project where indicated mineral resources of 614 200 oz and inferred resources of 549 600 oz have been outlined. Two significant targets have been delineated by Barrick at Mongaliema, which is 7 km northwest of Makapela, and Ntokayulu, which is 3 km northwest of Makapela. At Mongaliema, trenching and augering is continuing along a west-northwest trending shear zone with trench results including 37.3 m grading 1.48 g/t of gold. In the second new agreement, Loncor and Barrick have replaced the existing JV agreement relating to the Isiro properties to focus on the three most prospective Isiro properties.
