Following torrential rains, Montreal-based Explorations Minires du Nord (mdn-m) has resumed drilling at its 50%-owned Kanegele gold property in northwestern Tanzania.
The reverse-circulation program is intended to provide data for a resource calculation. An open-pit operation is envisaged, owing to the abundance of near-surface mineralization.
Previous sampling returned up to 20 grams gold per tonne.
Pangea Goldfields (PGD-T) owns a half-interest in the Kanegele property, as well as a half-interest in the nearby Tulawaka property, where a strong 12-by-2.5-km geochemical anomaly has been identified. Further ground geophysical work is planned for the latter property.
Closer to home, in the Matagami district of northern Quebec, drilling is under way on three gold and base metal properties held by Minires du Nord.
The objective of the 1,000-metre program is to probe four targets where grades have been found to average 2.54 grams gold, 1.45% copper and 2.27% zinc.
Meanwhile, at Le Tac, Que., the company, in partnership with Quebec government-owned Socit qubecoise d’exploration minire (Soquem), is carrying out a program of geophysics and drilling in an attempt to prove up a very-low-frequency (VLF) conductor anomaly. The structure is 1,200 metres long and lies on the southeastern extension of a known deposit.
Previous drilling at Le Tac returned 9.45 grams gold and 8.33% zinc within a mineralized section extending 7.1 metres. Further testing returned 3.1 grams gold and 4.37% zinc over 1 metre, and 2.16 grams gold and 0.82% copper over 2 metres.
