ANK/BXR joint ventureNew trenching at Okalla West, which consists of a series of pits dug on lines at 15m intervals, has exposed significantly larger pieces of the vein material under the laterite on Line 5. Visible gold has been observed in vein material found in Pit 6 on Line 5. While the veining and mineralization appears to be typical of the occurrence, the amount of visible gold seen confirms the nugget effect previously observed. Vein material with pyrite in silica boxwork was found in Pit 4. Exploration this week on Pit 9 has discovered pyrite rich material coming out of auger samples. These field observations confirm the presence of vein material that further assists in the understanding of the larger geological structure underlying the previously identified gold anomalies. The appearance of the gold and the abundance of the silica material suggest a close source and a large system.
