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 and the interpreted pressure shadows and low-strain zones that lie adjacent to the terminating granite intrusion define an immediate exploration target area.
