Drill Rig 3: Ghanie Exploration drilling: GDD-04.

  • Rig 3- GDD-04, achieved a depth of 92m. End of drill hole
  • GDD-02 was planned at 120m depth to target the current interpretation of the Ghanie Shear.

Lithological Intercepts:

  • 51m-67.15m- Continues within the undifferentiated magnetite volcanic unit weak to moderately sheared with moderate pervasive SILSERAKN + Bleaching alteration and 10% pyrite fracture/foliation controlled.
  • 67.15m-72.7m- moderately sheared aphanitic andesites unit occurring with weak SILSER alteration, no magnetism and 2% fracture controlled pyrite.
  • 72.7m-92m- Ghanie intrusive Diorite (Possible granodiorite); medium-coarse grained unit being sheared at contact with the andesite unit. No significant sulfides observed. Moderate pervasive SIL alteration with weak fracture-controlled ankerite alteration.

Interesting Intercepts/Gold Zones

  • 51m-61.5m- Moderately sheared MVOL_Mnt. with a brecciated texture occurring with strong pervasive SILSERANK bleaching + FeCarb, 10% pyrite fracture/foliation controlled and 5% late silica veins with pyrite were observed cutting foliation occurring with ×5 visible gold.

Figure 7. GDD-04. Depth: 60.37- 2cm wide grey silica + pyrite vein occurring with ×2 Vg.

  • 67.15m-72.7m- Moderately sheared andesite unit, with moderate SILSER alteration, no
    magnetism occurring with 2% pyrite fracture controlled and 2% late silica veins cutting
    foliation occurring with ×2 visible gold
