Australian mining exploration company Aldoro Resources has begun two diamond-drilling operations at its Avondschaduw prospect near Kalkfeld, Namibia, in search of copper and gold. The planned 680- and 400-metre holes will test targets identified by geophysical surveys, executive chairman Quinn Lee said in The Namibian.
Australian mining exploration company Aldoro Resources has begun its first diamond drilling programme at the Avondschaduw prospect in Namibia, searching for potential copper and gold deposits. Two holes are planned in the Damara Belt near Kalkfeld, The Namibian reported.
The first hole is expected to reach a depth of 680 metres and the second 400 metres. They will test two priority anomalies identified through electrical and magnetic surveys, including areas of high chargeability and low electrical resistance that could be associated with sulphide ores, according to Quinn Lee, executive chairman of Aldoro Resources.
Geological and laboratory analysis results will have to confirm the possible presence of copper, gold or other metals. Aldoro interprets the magnetic anomalies as possible signs of hydrothermal alteration and volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralisation. The two drill holes are located within prospecting licence EPL 7895, one of three licences covering the area under study.
