The Rimpi-S Zone extends 1380 m northward from 38520N to 39900N. In 2008 the Rimpi-S existed between sections 38350N and 39200N. During 2009, additional drilling at the northern end of Rimpi-S enabled the combination of Rimpi-S and Rimpi-C zones into the new Rimpi-S zone. The gold mineralization occurs in seven lenses (lenses 7420, 8520, 8620, 9220, 9320, 9420, 9520). The average thickness of the lenses is 4.3 m, ranging between 3 and 9 m.

The Rimpi-S zone makes up 5.0% of the total probable reserves (203,100 oz of gold in 1.4 million tonnes grading 4.37 g/t), 8.8% of the total indicated resources (127,200 oz of gold in 1.8 million tonnes grading 2.14 g/t) and 8.7% of the inferred resources (51,200 oz of gold in 0.6 million tonnes grading 2.76 g/t).
