Goldstone zeroes in on strong prospects at Homase/Akrokerri project
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Following the completion of an auger geochemistry sampling programme, Aim-listed Goldstone Resources will narrow its exploration focus at its Ghana-based Homase/Akrokerri gold project to two prospects that hold immediate promise of adding to its existing resource.
The company noted on Thursday that the targeted exploration of AK02 and AK04 followed the drilling of 1 332 auger holes to a maximum depth of 3 m over eight high-priority gold targets close to and along the strike of the project’s 602 000 oz gold deposit.
Both deposits had returned strongly anomalous results, with gold values of between 44 parts per billion (ppb) and 244 ppb.
“[The] results have indicated two potentially new zones of mineralisation – a 1 500 m anomaly at the AK02 prospect, immediately south-west and along [the] strike of the Homase/Akrokerri deposit, and an 800 m anomaly, the AK04 prospect, that may be an extension of AK02,” the company explained.
Close-spaced infill auger sampling was now under way to define future drill targets for a potential drill programme.
The infill auger programme would sample AK02 and AK04 on a 100 m X 25 m grid to provide the group’s geologists with sufficient density of data and confidence of provenance of gold mineralisation to be able to plan a drilling campaign.
