The project area covered a total of 6.4 sq km with indicative gold mineralization in 02 pockets with active artisanal mining. Broad scope of the program includes,
Preliminary investigation including pitting/trenching at selective locations.
High Resolution Magnetic Survey (HRMS) with the aim to identify structural fabric engrossing rock units in the area.
2D Electrical Imaging (Resistivity & IP) survey across selective profiles in reference to those interpreted structural & lithological features. A target depth of 90 m with electrode spacing of 05 m was conducted in the program.
Drilling exploration for the purpose of verification of interpreted chargeability zones in selective location identified in 2D sections.
Logging, sampling & assaying of bore hole intercepts to analyse the content of chargeability zones, with primary focus on gold mineralization.
Overall assessment of the property based on outcome of assay distribution in the samples.
The area was first evaluated with Remote Sensing studies to assess regional structures, lithological demarcations & hydrothermal alteration signatures. This was followed with near surface exploration by pitting/trenching at 48 locations. HRMS survey was undertaken to cover the area in 135 LKM at 50 m interval in continuous data acquisition mode. The interpreted magnetic data indicate several structural domain & framework which assisted in planning 2D Electrical imaging across prospective zones of mineralization. The 2D imaging survey indicated chargeability conditions based on which 06 sites were identified across different sections for verification of mineral concentration across the sub-surface chargeability zones. A cumulative of 500 m of drilling was conducted in these core holes followed with logging & sampling (core split sample). Assay was performed on 325 samples, subsequently. The results indicated depleted source of epigenetic gold present which may not account for large scale economic extraction. The study helped in quicker decision making which prevent investor in concluding the feasibility condition of the ore in the prospect.
