Key findings
- The 1:1,000,000 map shows basement gneiss across the licence, with the Muva quartzite–pelite contact at its eastern end.
- A north-north-west-trending fault cuts the basement–quartzite contact about 1 km south of the licence; 1968-map gold occurrences lie 21–23 km away.
- Excellent logistics: roads in the licence, power about 2.6 km and rail about 11 km away.
Recommended next work
- Map the eastern contact and trace the fault south of the licence into it, using DEM and Sentinel-2 lineaments.
- Run soil or stream-sediment sampling across the licence as a first screen.
- Combine with neighbouring 41426-HQ-LEL and 44280-HQ-SEL in one programme.
