Amani Gold’s results from its 18 holes of highly anticipated follow-up drilling have shown solid grades of mineralisation extending south-easterly from the high-grade Kebigada deposit, part of its Giro Project in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The RC drilling crossed through high-grade veins and adjacent mineralised host rocks from the Giro vein, Gbaramuta, Bowule, Filon III, V and VI areas through the Giro/Kebigada deposit towards an untested geophysical and geochemical anomaly.
IP surveys of the area have previously outlined significant potential within an anomaly bearing high chargeability and low resistivity.
Soil sampling has also revealed an in-situ gold anomaly of >200ppb. The drill program targeted high-grade mineralisation on this untested anomaly.
Data suggests the possibility of the trending mineralisation moving deeper into either NS or NW-SE structures which will require diamond drilling for verification.
We are very pleased with recent drilling at our Kebigada South East prospect and the potential to define southeast extensions to the existing 4.1Moz Kebigada deposit,” Amani Gold CEO Conrad Karageorge said.
About Giro Gold Project
The Giro Gold Project comprises two exploration permits covering a surface area of 497km² and lies within the Kilo-Moto Belt of the DRC. This significant under-explored greenstone belt hosts Randgold Resources’ 17 million-ounce Kibali deposits within 35km of Giro. The nearby Kibali Gold Project produces more than 600,000oz of gold annually.
