Early exploration efforts by partners KWG Resources (KWG-T) and Falconbridge (FL-T) on the Managua prospect in the Dominican Republic have proved fruitful.
Managua, a 1.6-by-0.6-km induced-polarization (IP) anomaly, is situated in the east-Central part of the country, on a property that is owned 51% by Falconbridge and 49% by KWG.
Results from trenching revealed an average of 5.25 grams gold and 9.72 grams silver per tonne over a trench length of 40 metres.
The anomaly will be further evaluated by a 2,800-Metre, 12-hole diamond drill program, soon to get under way.
The Managua prospect is in the Los Ranchos formation, which hosts the 18-Million-oz. Pueblo Viejo gold mine, currently operated by state-owned Rosario Dominicana. The geological horizon in the Managua area, some 60 km east of the Pueblo Viejo mine, is represented by a 40-To-120-Metre-Thick zone of highly altered, mineralized tuffs and agglomerates underlain by younger barren intrusives.
The average precious metal values from all samples taken from within the IP anomaly were 2.38 grams gold and 25.87 grams silver.
KWG is earning its interest from Falco by providing exploration funding of US$5 million over a period of five years.
