A wide-spread sampling program has been completed yielding grades of between 0.58–63.1g/t Au with a particularly promising average grade of 33.1g/t Au across a 3.5m wide artisanal mining face. Regional Geophysics have been acquired which helped to identify large shear zone corridors within which artisanal hard rock workings are situated. Over 400 artisanal workers mining primary gold deposits from surface to ~120m depth. Artisanal pits are distributed along a structural strike length of ~2500m. Current information suggests that artisanal miners are producing up to 25kg of gold per month from the hard-rock workings.The ALG team is comprised of the Chairman, Cobus van Wyk who is an extensively experienced exploration and mining entrepreneur active in Mozambique since 2004.
