Key findings

  • The 1:1,000,000 map shows Muva quartzite–pelite (about 79%) and a basement gneiss inlier (about 21%); no faults are mapped inside the licence.
  • 1968-map gold occurrences lie about 7 km east and 16 km south.
  • Excellent logistics, but a large irrigated farm covers much of the licence.

Recommended next work

  • Run soil geochemistry around the basement inlier and the contacts to the east.
  • Plan sampling around the farm's fields and fallow areas.
