Chad could host a new gold province, says IronRidge
JUST as the formerly hard rock-ignored and shunned Sudan has been getting a good rap of late from Resolute Mining supremo John Welborn, neighbouring Chad also could offer big gold opportunities to the contrarians and brave at heart.
Speaking at the Africa Downunder conference, Len Kolff of AIM-listed IronRidge Resources said the company's ground had the hallmarks of an intrusive system analogous to the Tintina gold belt of Yukon-Alaska.
"We think we are onto a new province," Kolff said.
Enjoying first-mover status, IronRidge is principally focussed at the moment on the Dorothe prospect, a 3km by 1km area featuring previously mined shallow artisanal workings.
Trenching has already delivered strong results, with ground geophysics planned for October ahead of drilling.
Chad, like neighbouring Sudan, is probably best known in the resources sector for its oil, and in the broader world for famines and civil unrest/wars.
