IronRidge Resources Limited (LON:IRR) has reported multiple gold intersections within trench and soil samples at Echbara in Chad, Central Africa.
Further exploration is now planned for Echbara, which is 25km away from IronRidge’s Dorothe prospect in the central African country.

Len Kolff, IronRidge’s chief geologist said: “These first pass trenching results over significant widths within the Echbara target demonstrate good continuity over a 1.2km strike length with a higher-grade core zone over 500m strike and up to 2.71g/t gold.”
Other significant gold anomalies were defined, he added, including a 4km x 500m anomalous zone along strike from Echbara.

The trenching work saw excavation of 5,448m of ground to assess the extent and surface grade of a 2km long soil anomaly.
The anomalous gold intervals included narrower high-grade intervals (12m at 2.71g/t gold) and broader lower grade intervals (50m at 0.35g/t gold).
