Stockport Exploration has announced that an auger-based drill program will be advanced at the company’s Kamwango Grid, situated centrally within the Kenyan property. An independent geophysical campaign and surface deposits containing gold point towards the same target regions.
The company’s recent induced polarization (IP) survey results have been overlaid with sampling and mapping of a quartz vein pebble lag bearing gold together with separate samples grading about 8.11 g/t gold. Three possible target areas, which may include significant quartz vein systems, have been indicated by pebble lag sampling and IP. The gradient IP campaign carried out at the Kamwango Grid included 34 line-km laid out on grid lines spaced at 100 m.
The company mapped and sampled quartz pebble lag deposits before the IP survey. The results indicate a strong correlation together with three resistivity target area, combined with the latest IP information. The high-grade lag samples directly exist over the resistivity highs, along with grades of gold in the lag, which is decreasing away from the IP anomalies.
The three IP resistivity high targets associated with gold-bearing high-anomalous pebble lag occurs in prominent artisanal work areas. The company will examine similar resistivity high anomalies, wherein pebble lag was not obtained.
The company will commence an auger-based exploration drilling program in order to estimate the tonnage and grade of the surface pebble lag deposit and will map further quartz pebble lag in other Kamwango Grid regions. The company will also perform 70 km of gradient IP testing program on the Kamwango grid.
