Partners United Reef (TSE) and Asquith Resources (CDN) will explore and develop the Roandji gold property in the Central African Republic.
The 2,000-sq.-km property includes historic deposits that produced 1.75 tonnes of alluvial gold between 1931 and 1950. While the source of the placer gold was delineated, none of the bedrock deposits has been exploited.
Exploration since the 1950s has shown gold to be associated with a sequence of Archean-aged metavolcanics and metasediments which strike in a north-northwesterly direction, extending over the 90-km length of the permit. Gold is associated with a stockwork of fine quartz veinlets hosted in mica schists and gneisses defining a deformation zone 2 km long and 20 metres wide.
United Reef will assign the Roandji property to Asquith for $25,000 (payable in Asquith common shares) and a 3% net smelter return royalty.
Asquith will fund the initial $2-million cost of the program, which will be managed by United Reef.
