Moura
The Moura permit covers a very prospective area of the Diale series of the Birrimian Belt along the structural shear zone contiguous with the large Sadiola gold operation in Mali, approximately 60 km along the Senegal Mali Shear Zone (SMSZ).
Moura has been subject to exploration by the United Nations, the French
Government (BRGM) and a number of private mining groups, including
Bassari Resources Senegal. BRGM had identified 30 gold anomalies for
follow up exploration. All of these anomalies have been located by
Bassari Resources Senegal and a detailed sampling program is underway.
Infill sampling by Bassari Resources Senegal geologists has identified
at least 3 extensive NE-SW anomalous zones, centred around Benajiggi (4
km long). Konkoutou (4km long) and Yorova (1.5 km long and open to the
north).
A further 3 anomalous shear zones have also been
discovered by Bassari geologists in the Moura permit which warrant
major exploration work. With 5 significant targets identified plus
numerous other anomalies confirmed, Moura is considered a highly
prospective permit for detailed and extensive exploration over the next
12 months.
Konkoutou
At the Konkoutou prospect, within ithe Moura Permit, the UNDP geologists reported that they excavated a total volume of 1,465 m3 and drilled 86.9 metres of diamond drill core in 2 holes. Their trenches discovered 10 small isolated auriferous zones. Follow up sampling by the Bassari geologists has confirmed the prospectivity of the area.
Bassari’s geologists geologically logged and sampled 49 pits. All of the pits exposed quartz veins and quartz stock works.. The abundance of pits allowed profiles to be selected and constructed in 5 mines across the Konkoutou Hill and valleys to the east and west. Significant gold mineralisation was located in all 5 pit profiles. From the results of the Konkoutou pit profiles and trenches, the mineralised zones suggest that there could be three composite shear zones developed within the Konkoutou prospect. This zone is a priority drilling target for Bassari.
Benajiggi
The Bennajiggi Prospect (approximately 2 km) from Konkoutou comprises a low hill made up of shattered, brecciated massive milky quartz veins. At the Benajiggi prospect, within the Moura Permit, UNDP geologists reported that they had drilled 2 diamond holes to depths of 70.5 metres and 45.5 metres respectively and excavated a total of 2,295 m3 of trenches. The best results from trenching work (quartz vein channels) were 75 g/t and 110 g/t over widths of 0.5 metres. These high grade results have been reconfirmed by Bassari geologists.
