Exploration summary
A.
B.
Brownfield exploration at Taparko pits GT, 3/5 and 2N/2K, at flanks and at depth. Brownfield
exploration at very high grade Bissinga pit abandoned in 2010.
Prolong the life of Taparko mine with discovery of additional reserves for the existing mine.
and mill infrastructure. Exploration of 15km area around the mine using advanced
techniques such as recent airborne geophysics, termite mound sampling and detailed
mapping by senior geologists; so far most promising target is Goengo, which has potential to
significantly increase the life of mine. No significant zones exist east or west of Taparko mill,
work ongoing north and south along strike
C.
Exploration of rich quartz veins satellites in Bouroum region to feed the mill with high grade
ore from deposits ~50 km away; the most advanced project in this category is Yeou.
D.
Integration of the mapping, drilling, termite mound geochemistry and airborne geophysics will
be performed with a view to drill about 11 000m of DD in 2014
ヨ
E.
2013 field work has resulted in decision to drop Dyakolra, Taranga and Nongo-Fayere
permits.
