African Potash starts drilling at Lac Dinga
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Aim-listed exploration company African Potash has started drilling the first hole at its Lac Dinga project, in the Republic of Congo.
The initial hole, which is planned to a depth of about 500 m below surface, is the first of a two-hole rotary/core drilling programme that will test two high-priority targets believed to have potential for high-grade potash mineralisation based on the interpretation of seismic data.
African Potash CEO Edward Maslow on Tuesday said the objective of the maiden drilling programme was to improve the company’s understanding of the asset and to provide a basis for evaluation of the resource potential of the asset.
"Lac Dinga, which is located in a world-class potash-bearing region, has, to date, demonstrated the potential to host significant high-grade sylvinite tonnage at attractive depths,” he noted.
