Zodiac Gold is forging ahead with incredible progress in its exploration activities. The recent completion of the drill program at the Alasala target, a part of the larger Khenkikaa project, has unfolded promising results. Drilling at Alasala has resulted in the identification of mineralized zones, including strikingly high gold mineral concentrations of up to 4.05m at 13.92g/t. The startup is therefore etching out a space for itself in the gold exploration and mining industry.
The Khenkikaa project, where Alasala is located, is in the Republic of Djibouti. It is set within the Afar Region, a place known for its rich mineral deposits. Here, the presence of gold occurrences has been identified earlier through various preliminary sampling and exploration activities. The Khenkikaa project is indeed a strategic setup for Zodiac Gold, facilitating its aim of identifying potential gold-bearing areas and their exploration.
The company achieved a significant milestone by successfully implementing a maiden drill program at the Alasala target site. In carrying out this project, Zodiac Gold demonstrated its commitment to exploration and robust operational capability. The comprehensive program encompassed 30 vertical holes covering a total length of 1916m of drilling. This extensive exploration was based on several exploration IP pulse surveys and initial rock chip sampling data.
The notable highlight of this exploration activity was the identification of several mineralized zones. In particular, these included an impressive discovery of 4.05m of mineralization with gold concentration graded at 13.92 g/t from one of the drill holes. It was indeed a rich finding and signals Zodiac Gold’s potential capacity in the exploration sector.
Moreover, the exploratory drilling discovered numerous other mineralized sections, including 1.0m at 3.42 g/t, 1.0m at 2.92 g/t, and 0.76m at 5.68 g/t. These findings illustrate the potential for profitable production in the extensive mineralized zones identified.
The drilling program was successfully carried out, adhering to the best practice and stringent quality control protocols. The samples obtained were sent to an internationally accredited laboratory for further analysis before reporting the results.
What these findings demonstrate is Zodiac Gold’s effective exploration strategy that integrates comprehensive fieldwork, meticulous data processing, detailed geologic modeling, and precise drilling execution. This ensures the intended outcome – identification and mapping of mineral-rich segments for future extraction procedures.
Aside from successfully accomplishing the drilling program, Zodiac Gold is also committed to supporting the communities around the areas of their exploration projects. While progressing in its mining activities, Zodiac Gold also undertakes a variety of corporate social responsibility activities.
It is a promising future for Zodiac Gold. The successful drilling program at Alasala and the identification of mineral-rich sections lays the groundwork for the company to delve deeper into the mining sector. A combination of strategic planning, efficient implementation, and effective community outreach makes Zodiac Gold stand out in the crowd in the realm of gold exploration and mining.
