Regional Exploration

The company also has a significant regional gold exploration program in the surrounding Mako Volcanic Belt, all located within 10 to 40 kilometres of the Sabodala site, comprising over 900 square kilometres of highly prospective tenements (three in 80% joint ventures and one 100% SMC).

An aeromagnetic survey of 3,325 square kilometres carried out over these areas in 2005 identified numerous structures for first pass drilling.  Initial focus in 2008 will be on the Bransan Project, with a 22,000 m drilling program planned to test priority gold targets and discover additional resources for the company.
