Core Viewpoint - Starcore International Mines Ltd. provides an update on the geological characteristics of its Kimoukro Project, located in the Fetekro-Oumé greenstone belt in Côte d'Ivoire, highlighting its potential for gold mineralization due to favorable geological conditions [1][21]. Geological Overview - The Kimoukro Project is situated in a fully-permitted exploration area within the Fetekro-Oumé greenstone belt, known for hosting significant gold deposits, yet remains underexplored [2][21]. - The Fetekro-Oumé greenstone belt consists of Paleoproterozoic basalts, andesites, and volcano-sedimentary sequences, characterized by structural complexity and deformation from the Eburnean Orogeny [3][4]. - The local geology includes alluvial sediments, primarily clay, with gold anomalies, and a maximum thickness of 20 meters [6][7]. Structural Geology - The structural framework reflects progressive deformation from the Eburnean orogeny, with steeply dipping foliation planes and evidence of multiple tectonic events [9][10][12]. - The area has undergone significant deformation phases, with quartz veining associated with shear deformation and varying structural styles depending on the host rock [13][18]. Mineralization - Gold mineralization at Kimoukro is both primary and secondary, with primary mineralization being structurally controlled and associated with shear quartz veins and intrusion-related systems [14][21]. - Significant gold anomalies have been identified, including a 2 km x 600 m area with over 50 ppb Au and a 600 x 400 m zone with over 200 ppb Au [15][16]. - Artisanal mining activities have returned gold grades between 0.5 to 1.5 g/t Au, with peaks of 18 g/t Au near granite-tonalite contacts [16][19]. Exploration Potential - The geological characteristics and mineralization styles at Kimoukro align with key gold systems in the Fetekro-Oumé belt, indicating strong potential for further discoveries [21]. - Exploration targets include deformation and alteration halos around granite-tonalite contacts, which are considered prospective for further exploration [20].
