The Bounsankoba property is located in the early Proterozoic “Kenieba Inlier” in the so-called “super group” of Dialle-Dalema. The Dialle series are predominantly composed of meta-sediments-greywackes, sandstones and pelites. The inlier is crossed by two major structural features: the ASM (Accident Senegalo-malien) described by Bassot and Dommanget (1986) running north south; and the main transcurrent zone (MTZ) a major shear zone described by Ledru (1991), running NorthEast – Southwest within the metasediments along the contact with the Mako supergroup (predominantly metavolcanics).

The gold mineralisation on the Bounsankoba permit has several characteristics with meso thermal gold deposits and a detailed exploration program has been planned to further enhance Bassari’s interpretation of the geology of the Bounsankoba permit.
