Annual report for exploration licence 5085.

Abstract

Exploration Licence 5085 is located most probably on the extension of the Fountain Head Anticline. Exploration, comprising geological mapping, rock chip and soil sampling, has been concluded in encouraging results. 35 rock chip and 65 soil samples were collected and assayed for gold and arsenic and some for silver and copper. As high as 1.4 ppm and 0.5 ppm gold values were recorded by few rock chip samples. All the soil samples were slightly anomalous in gold. Assay results, as high as 1.40 and@.5 ppm Au returned by certain rock chip samples, indicated possibility of gold occurrence. Slightly anomalous gold distribution as reflected by soil assays seem also encouraging. It is recommended that the licence area be retained under mining tenure to permit further investigations.
