Stratex finds more gold mineralisation at Afar project in Ethiopia and Djibouti
Stratex International PLC (LON:STI) said it has found new gold mineralisation at its Afar gold project straddling Ethiopia and Djibouti, highlighting the potential prospectivity of the area as an emerging epithermal gold province.
The 3,853 sq km Afar project comprises five Exclusive Exploration Licences (EELs) in the Afar region of Ethiopia and six EELs in the Republic of Djibouti.
Exploration at Afar is currently being funded by joint venture partner Thani Ashanti Alliance Ltd, an AngloGold Ashanti Ltd (LON:AGD, ASX:AGG, NYSE:AU, JSE:ANG) JV.
Stratex discovered new gold epithermal mineralisation within the Tendaho EEL in Ethiopia, extended mineralisation at the Asal EEL in Djibouti and it identified a new target within the Dimoli Khan EEL in Djibouti.
Executive director David Hall said: "To date, Stratex has made five early-stage epithermal gold discoveries in the Afar region, which highlights the potential prospectivity of the area as an emerging epithermal gold province.
"The most recent gold discovery, the Akehil target within the Tendaho EEL, … is some 9 km south-west of our original Megenta hot spring discovery. When sampled this float material returned 14.0 grams per ton gold, which is highly encouraging and illustrates the potential for high-grade veins to be discovered in situ. Follow-up work will be undertaken on the Akehil prospect alongside the 3,000 metre drilling programme at Megenta, which is due to start soon,” he added.
