Drilling at West Africa Abujar Gold Deposit Garners Over 503 Grams Per Tonne

Ivory Coast or Côte d’Ivoire’s Tietto Minerals just lately stated it had drilled and extracted as a lot as 503.85 grams per tonne from 83 metres at its Abujar Gludehi deposit. The drilling consequence strikes the miner one other step in the direction of manufacturing on what might change into West Africa’s greatest new gold mines, a report has instructed.

The Abujar Deposit

Tietto Minerals, the Ivory Coast-based gold miner, has reportedly drilled 503.85 grams per tonne (g/t) from 83 metres at its flagship Abujar-Gludehi deposit. On high of this very excessive grade, the miner’s different higher outcomes embody a 10-metre hit which had 51.75 g/t. An even richer 3-metre part had about 171 g/t from the identical depth.

According to a report by The West, the Abujar-Gludehi deposit is, in truth, half of a bigger Abujar gold challenge which is comprised of three “contiguous tenements” which have a complete land space of 1,114 sq. kilometres. Similar to the Gludehi deposit, the report famous that the miner’s different prospects had delivered noteworthy hits “together with a 1m part at 46.2 g/t gold from 141m and a 2m hit going 8.8 g/t gold from 151m.”

In gold prospecting phrases, a high-grade gold deposit seemingly reveals that there’s extra gold content material for each tonne of gold ore. This grade in flip reveals the profitability of the deposit. According to the gold exploration trade, a “bonanza consequence” is as any consequence above 34g/t- which is a particularly excessive grade. Anything above 5 g/t is taken into account excessive grade whereas something above 34 g/t is taken into account to be one other degree, a report by Next Investors has stated.

The Gold’s Untested Potential

Meanwhile, because it waits for the outcomes of 36 extra holes, Tietto Minerals, as instructed within the report, is hoping the pending outcomes will add much more high-grade gold.

Caigen Wang, Tietto Minerals’ managing director is quoted within the report remarking the mining firm’s prospects. He stated:

Our drill rigs have moved to prospects situated to the north [GGL] and south [AGM, PGL] of AG Core with the objective of defining new gold assets in an replace late this 12 months. The excessive‐grade gold intercepts seen within the newest outcomes spotlight the prospectivity and nonetheless largely untested potential of the principle Abujar Shear.

Meanwhile, a special report instructed the spotlight of the miners’ spectacular drilling outcomes was a 2.4m intercept grading 153.49 grams per tonne gold, with a 1.4m increased interval assaying at 262.59g/t. According to this report, the mineralisation was intersected 31.6m from the floor.
