Property Highlights:

  • An unmapped Archean greenstone belt -- a rock sequence well for producing major gold deposits

  • A soil geochemistry anomaly over 3km long and 2km wide with values of; gold up to 223ppb, copper up 503ppm, nickel up to 724ppm, chrome up to 3720ppm.

  • Soil anomaly coincides exactly with an EM anomaly creating a "bulls eye" target

  • Magnetic lows in BIF indicate structures that trend straight into the anomalous zone

  • Numerous Artisinal gold workings

Gabon Facts:

  • Peaceful Democracy: Most recent elections in 2006

  • One of the most prosperous countries in Africa: as a result as oil production.

  • Francophone: Strong friendly ties with France and neighbouring countries

  • Strong mining history in manganese and uranium

  • Implementing €35 million aid program in support of national minerals exploration

The Nkan project covers an area of Archean greenstone belts. The geology consists of a typical granite-greenstone assemblage of ultramafics (komatiites?), banded Iron Formations (BIF), granodiorite gneisses, and feldspathic quartzites cross cut by a series of N-NE trending shear zones.
Previous work: During it's "Mission du Mitzic" the Bureau de Recherches de Géologiques et Miniére (BRGM) covered the whole area with an extensive stream sampling program. From this, a large gold stream gold anomaly, with values up to 85ppb in stream sediments and up to 420g/m3 in pan concentrates was found that appeared to have a close spacial relationship with the banded iron formations in the area.
Work Done: Dome aggressively followed up the BRGM results with a soil sampling and prospecting campaign. Since September 2007 over soil 3000 samples have been taken over four separate areas targeting gold. Three of the soil grids defined 3 separate coherant gold anomalies (>15ppb) with peak values above 50ppb. The Nkan 2 & 3 grids defined a N-NE trending gold anomaly over 20km in length within the BIF unit and is speculated to be associated with the similar trending shear zones in the area. Follow up on these anomalies has proven difficult however due to the very deep soil profile (>50m in places) in the Nkan region. Future work in the area will target these soil anomalies with an augering program (down to 10m), geophysics and results depending, drilling.

The strong magnetic response is due to banded iron formations in the area. The orange dashed lines shows an inferred fault based from the magnetics that coincides with the EM anomaly

Summary: Ebel has all the attributes of an Archean greenston belt style gold deposit. The geology is composed of a typical greenstone belt assemblage of metavolcanics, banded iron formations, and granite gneisses that have been crosscut by later (inferred) structures which trend into the known anomalous zone. This anomlous zone coincides with a 2km wide EM anomaly creating a "Bulls eye" style target 2km x 1km in size.
