Additional targets
Melih
The Melih VMS anomaly (north & south) strikes almost 10km and is broken up by a small granite pluton
- Southern outcrop of altered bedded felsic tuffs
- Banded (bedded) felsic tuffs with ferruginous gossan float (anomalous in copper, nickel and zinc)
- Looking along the strike of the alteration zone of Melih (south) which strikes for 6km
- Outcropping altered rhyolites and bedded tuffs, with exhalite sequences and gossan
- Gossanous outcrop (Melih SW) grading over 9000ppm (0.9%) copper.
Akordat
Interesting upland area with copper, lead and zinc anomalies within intensely altered rock. Grid soil sampling complete.
- Ferruginous brown 'pyrite' rich rhyolites
- Sulphide stringers assaying 300-400 ppm Cu, Zn and Pb, and about 1500ppm Ni
- Iron-rich gossan
Dallas
- South of Engerne, possible extension of the Engerne system
- N – S trending, dipping 60° to the west
- Considerable artisanal gold workings on the vein and surrounding alluvials
- Visible gold seen in 2 out of 5 grab samples
- Grab samples submitted to ALS-Chemex
- Very high sulphur pocket content
Adinjera
- Malachite and iron oxide after sulfide in quartz vein at Adenjera gold occurrence. Gold is recovered from alluvium in the vicinity of large quartz sulfide (oxide) veins with strike extents up to 500 m.
Enjehay Kereb (Quartz Hill)
- Quartz sulfide (oxide) vein at the summit of “Enjehay Kereb” (Quartz Hill). View looking west. The vein is at surface for >200 m and is ~6 m thick at this location.
- Very coarse gold grains in pan from drainage near “Enjehay Kereb” (Quartz Hill), Akordat property north area, Eritrea (UTM coordinates: 3039009E, 1739104N). The artesanal workers are said to recover up to 10 grams per day per worker from alluvium in this area. The area was discovered by artesanal miners only 3 years ago. Bedrock mining has not occurred due to a lack of mercury for extraction.
