Exploration Stage : Advanced Exploration ( Geophysics, trenching , Sampling, Pittting mapping carried out)
Mineral Resource potential :
Manganese mineralisation with samples ranging between 38% to 42% manganese. The measured iron content from a series of XRF tests ranged between 8% Fe and a max of 22%Fe. The silica content ranged between 6% and 12%.
Other comments:
The nature of the manganese ore deposit can be described as a high tonnage, medium grade, extracting an excess of 150t per day is practical.
