An exploration program has enabled Eden Roc Mineral (EDN-T) to expand the Junction zone, as well as outline high-grade ore, at the Afema gold mine in Ivory Coast.
Ore from the upper oxide portion of the zone translated into improved operating results in the quarter ended June 30. At the same time, the lower portions of the zone and its onstrike extensions are providing encouraging results from a program aimed at testing the sulphide potential of the West African property.
Eden Roc has identified a 2.2-km-long geophysical anomaly extending south from the Junction zone. One hole has already tested the anomaly, which begins 200 metres south of Junction. At a vertical depth of 90 metres, the hole returned 3.76 grams gold per tonne over 1.3 metres and another section grading 5.45 grams over 0.7 metre.
The company says the gold mineralization is contained in beds of pyrite, similar to that encountred at the Junction zone.
The exploration program also is testing the sulphide potential of Junction.
Among the encouraging deep sulphide intersections reported are hole 50, which returned 10.4 metres of 11.5 grams (including 4.4 metres of 21.43 grams) at a vertical depth of 755 ft.
