Aircore drilling results

The company recently received a set of aircore drilling results from the Ngaoundal licence within its Minim Martap project in Cameroon.

Highlights included 10 metres at 50.01 aluminium oxide and 0.7% silicon dioxide from surface.

With many of the drill holes intersecting high-grade, low-contaminant bauxite, Ngaoundal’s resource of 88 million tonnes grading 41.8% aluminium oxide and 1.3% silicon dioxide could be upgraded.

Results averaged 43.5% aluminium oxide and 1.05% silicon dioxide for the 49 aircore holes drilled at the three plateaux within the Ngaoundal licence.

Project PFS

The company secured funding for the pre-feasibility study (PFS) development stage of Minim Martap in July after raising $4 million by way of a private placement of shares to sophisticated and professional investors.

Managing director Philip Gallagher said at the time that Canyon was ready to move its global tier-one project into the next stage of development.
