TSX-V-listed Ongwe Minerals has started drilling at its newly discovered Nguni gold prospect, situated 17 km east of the Manga gold discovery, at the Omatjete gold project in Namibia.

Two drill rigs have been mobilised.

One diamond drill rig will focus on the highest-grade portions of the soil anomaly with an initial drill plan comprising 18 holes for 3 500 m.

A second reverse circulation drill rig will focus on testing the strike extension of the soil anomaly with 13 holes planned for 1 500 m.

A step-out diamond drill programme comprising five holes for 1 000 m has been finalised to test the eastern extension of the Manga gold prospect, a gold-in-soil and gold-in-bedrock anomaly located 17 km west of Nguni.

Nguni is a large, high-grade, gold-in-soil anomaly discovered by Ongwe in May during a regional soil sampling programme, which targeted the regionally significant Okondeka Fault Zone.

Situated 55 km east of Kokoseb and 17 km east of Manga, Nguni is being rapidly advanced through detailed surface work and drilling, with the aim of converting the target into a large-scale economic discovery.
