Africa: Drilling Programme in Guinea

SRK was contracted to conduct an assessment of a gold exploration asset portfolio in the Republic of Guinea. This required the analysis of historical exploration data along with remote sensing data to map inferred geology and artisanal mining sites. Prospective targets were identified, followed by soil sampling and mapping programmes across two properties. SRK planned and implemented a drilling programme combining air core and diamond core holes to assess targets with coincident geochemical and geophysical anomalies, geological mapping and known artisanal workings. The drilling results were modelled in 3D and recommendations for future work were made.
