Montreal-based Birim Goldfields (BGI-T) has completed a first-phase, surface drill program at the past-producing Akrokeri gold mine in Ghana.
The 4,800-ha property in the Ashanti belt is 90%-owned by Birim. It lies adjacent to, and on strike with, Ashanti Goldfields’ Obuasi gold mine to the southwest.
Birim drilled six holes at 200-metre intervals in an attempt to intersect the graphitic quartz-sulphide shear zone under old workings. The zone lies 130 metres from surface and 40 metres below the mine’s lowermost level.
Results suggest that the Akrokeri structure plunges north at a shallow angle.
The structure is also believed to curve around the Akrokeri granite in a northwesterly direction.
Drill results include 24.8 grams gold per tonne over 0.5 metres in hole 3.
Birim, whose 2,500-sample soil survey is three-quarters complete, plans more drilling in the new year.
