Power Metal Resources plc said that exploration crews had mobilised ahead of drilling next month as part of Phase II gold-nickel exploration in the Tati Greenstone belt near Francistown, Botswana.
PHASE II
The Phase II exploration programme involves planning ground-based magnetometer and radiometric geophysical surveys over 125 line-km split across three priority survey grids (Grids 3, 4 and 5) containing high priority soil anomalies.
The geophysics surveys will employ Gem Systems GSM-19TW proton magnetometers and Radiation Solutions RS-125 spectrometers.
“These surveys will assist with identifying important geological structures and help discriminate between various lithological units which may correlate with orogenic gold and/or magmatic nickel mineralisation,” said Power Metal.
“The goal of the Phase II work programme is to further refine high-priority targets identified by the Phase I programme geochemical results which will then be targeted by Power Metal’s inaugural rotary air blast drilling campaign on the project which is planned to start mid-September.”
OPTION
The company acquired a 100% interest in the project in July 2021 through its local wholly owned operating subsidiary Power Metal Resources Botswana Pty Ltd.
