AUC
Regional and Detailed Exploration for GOLD and IOCG Type Deposits
Minimum of 4 magnetic lineaments defined at Kamalenge for exploration and mining. 13 hard rock Gold & IOCG areas defined at Kamalenge by Trenching and Soils Geochemistry. 1 hard rock zone defined at Kamalenge for mining (Targets 1,2 and 3) with a preliminary resource of 45,000 tonnes at 6.2 g/t (Target 1).
AUC
The aero-magnetic anomalies vary between 8 and 16 km in length are part of a larger structure which is in excess of 25 km the Lusaba Shear.
The Kamalenge Mining License represents 6 km2 within a potential area of 150 km2.
