Second drill hole at Lac Dinga confirms potash mineralisation
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Sub-Saharan Africa-focused African Potash has intersected multiple potash seams at the second exploration drill hole at its Lac Dinga potash project, in the Republic of Congo.
The latest drill hole, which was completed at one of two delineated target locations, intersected a 112-m-thick salt sequence that confirmed laterally extensive salt and potash mineralisation characteristic of the Congolese costal basin.
In addition, the salt sequence showed internal similarity to that found in the previous drill hole and suggested extensive potash horizons at shallow depth.
About 250 km2 of the licence area was interpreted to be underlain by salt-bearing strata and to occur at a depth of between 300 m and 420 m, which African Potash believed further underpinned the project’s potential to host a significant commercial deposit.
CEO Edward Marlow described the successful intersection of multiple potash seams at Lac Dinga as an “exceptional” endorsement of the group’s exploration concept.
“This is an initial indicator for the wider resource potential of Lac Dinga and we can now move forward with confidence and plan further exploration activities to continue to prove-up the tangible value of the project,” he commented.
