AFRICA — Shiega begins trenching

A trenching program by Shiega Resources (SHG-V) is testing the gold potential of the Baroya concession in Mali.

The Vancouver-based junior holds a 60% interest in the project, whereas Robex Resources (RBX-M) has a 25% stake. Malian partners hold the remaining interest in the concession, which is east of, and adjacent to, the Segala deposit of Oliver Gold.

Shiega plans to trench three areas, the first being a fault-related zone on the western side of the southern block. Coincident gold-in-soil anomalies, artisanal workings and chargeability highs extend northeasterly for 3,500 metres through the southern block of the concession. The company notes that gold has been found along this zone, both to the east and west of Baroya.

The second target is on the western side of the northern corridor, where two quartz veins have been found. Native workings are evident for 100 metres within this target area, on which artisanal mining is being conducted. The veins will be trenched to determine whether they are individual structures or part of a larger vein system.

The third target is on trend with the Segala zone. Soil sampling has returned anomalous gold values, and the company is optimistic that it has found the extension to the Segala deposit. A drill program will follow.
