The opening drilled by way of a sedimentary package deal consisting of interbedded mudstones and sandstones, crosscut by a number of dykes of intermediate composition. A large number of sulfide and gold-rich quartz veins and breccias have been intersected, which have been hosted in altered siltstone attribute of the Surebet Zone. The noticed alteration fashion consists of chloritization in veins and silicification extending from vein margins inside the host rock, persistently with earlier high-grade occurrences from the Surebet Zone. Sulfide mineralization ranges from stockwork to semi-massive pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena ± chalcopyrite and is especially pronounced from 129 to 131 meters and 136 to 137 meters. The shallowest prevalence of Seen Gold was recognized at 119 meter depth, related to patchy pyrrhotite mineralization. Eleven additional Seen Gold occurrences have been noticed between 129 and 139 meters. The intercept is interpreted to be the Surebet Zone and is considered one of 5 mineralized intercepts intersected on this gap.

The residue is topped up with dilute hydrochloric acid and analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Overlimits have been re-analyzed utilizing the ME-OG62 and Ag-GRA21 strategies (gravimetric end). For Au-SCR21 a big quantity of pattern is required (usually 1-3kg). The pattern is crushed and screened (often to -106 micron) to separate coarse gold particles from superb materials. After screening, two aliquots of the superb fraction are analysed utilizing the standard fireplace assay methodology. The superb fraction is anticipated to be moderately homogenous and properly represented by the duplicate analyses. All the coarse fraction is assayed to find out the contribution of the coarse gold.
