Africa: Gold and Iron Ore Exploration

Since 2021, SRK has assisted Alpha Centauri Mining SA (ACM) to advance its early-stage gold and iron projects in Gabon. ACM has been actively exploring two properties to secure supplies of mineralisation for its successful gold production business. For each project, SRK has generated targets by interpreting regional geophysical and geochemical datasets, supplemented by high-resolution ground magnetic and induced polarisation / resistivity surveys, and soil sampling grids. SRK provided an independent QA/QC of the drilling programme that tested these geophysical targets, and trained ACM geologists and field technicians. Drilling designed by SRK at the Minkébé iron ore project started in Q2 2025.
