Helium One Global has started to investigate identified surface helium anomalies and to image priority areas at Rukwa in Tanzania.
ERT SURVEY
The company is also using an electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) survey for the operations.
Specific priority areas were identified in Phases I and II 2D seismic and surface helium anomalies were identified in the recently completed multispectral satellite spectroscopy (MSS) study.
Helium One said that the ERT results would contribute towards understanding the helium system and future exploration planning.
TAI
The company has also completed initial testing over the Tai prospect where data collected to date justified continued operation.
PRIORITY TARGETS
Chief executive David Minchin added that the start of the rainy season had saturated ground conditions ideal for running the ERT survey.
“Results to date have shown interesting resistivity anomalies that justify additional data acquisition, interpretation and evaluation.
“We look forward to receiving the results of this survey which will contribute significantly to our understanding of potential shallow helium plays within the top 200m of the Rukwa basin.”
