Reconnaissance work in Tete province, Mozambique, has returned encouraging gold values for partners Trillion Resources (TLQ-T) and Greenhope Resources (GRH-M).
Grab samples from old workings at the Muende and Chifumbazi properties returned up to 35.6 grams per tonne within 30-50-metre-wide shear zones.
The two zones are connected by a 10-km-long geophysical lineament, suggesting that Muende and Chifumbazi lie at opposite ends of the same structure.
Just recently opened to exploration, the Muende-Chifumbazi area covers a belt of meta-sediments at the southern end of a rift system associated with gold deposits in Tanzania, Kenya and Ethiopia. The area has been subject to alluvial and small-scale surface mining since pre-historic times.
At Muende, gold mineralization is found within a sheared pyritic schist while at Chifumbazi, the precious metal occurs in quartz-carbonate veins and breccia. Both zones have a strike length of at least 300 metres.
In preparation for drilling, Trillion is extending its geochemical surveys, sampling the old workings and completing reconnaisance work on the ground between the two deposits.
