Goldplat LON:GDP, the AIM quoted gold producer with international gold recovery
operations located in South Africa and Ghana and a gold mine in Kenya,
has told DirectorsTalk about the announcement released by Ashanti Gold Corp. in
relation to Goldplat’s Anumso Gold Project in Ghana in which
Ashanti has the right to earn up to 75% of Goldplat’s interest by
expending US$3million on exploration work.
Ashanti has identified broader and new mineralised zones at Anumso,
which are in aggregate 480m wide in certain areas of mineralisation,
following soil sampling. Approximately 1,200 samples revealed multiple
zones of mineralised Banket conglomerate. The soil samples tested
returned samples with over 30 ppb gold (‘Au’), with 24 samples
containing more than 100 ppb Au. Results from initial metallurgical test
work on oxidised and unoxidised mineralised samples were encouraging;
strong gold recovery by cyanidation was observed and an initial Extended
Gravity Recoverable Gold test was conducted on an unoxidised composite,
which indicated that up to 72.9% of the gold may be recoverable by
gravity methods. Further work to optimise process conditions and
evaluate variability is planned by Ashanti.
