The Vavoua and Vavoua West permits lie 60km to 90km NE of the Abujar gold mine (3.8 Moz) and cover 378 km2 and 203 km2, respectively.
Immediately south in a neighbouring permit, Auger sampling[1] has defined a gold trend that is considered highly likely to extend along the structure into the Vavoua West and Vavoua permits (Figure 1).
The favourable structural complexity, interpreted pressure shadows and low-strain zones that lie adjacent to the terminating granite intrusion define an immediate exploration target area.
