Close-ology Noble Resources Walsh, Strauss,
Ahiman (Ahemen), Grasshopper and Ekom Eya (part of Bibiani North)
Close-ology a few thousand meters at most...same Lithology...follows the same prospective area.....was once same claim until the government set 24.9 acres aside. BVIG EKOM EYA Noble Resources scale at the bottom.....along with the Noble logo on the bottom of the second pic
The Ekom Eya property is developed at the northern end of a string of satellite deposits which splayed from
the Bibiani main shear. The curvi-linear satellite deposits are from south to north, namely: Walsh, Strauss,
Ahiman (Ahemen), Grasshopper and Ekom Eya (part of Bibiani North) at the northern end (Figure 4; also
Appendix 4, Figure 2). Spatially, each deposit is separated by 1.0 - 1.5 km in the north – south direction and
displaced between 0.4 - 0.8km in the east-west direction (Figure 4). The satellite properties may differ in
some structural disposition but intrusives such as granites, quartz porphyries and aplites are closely
associated with the gold mineralization observed in these satellite deposits
2.3 Mineralisation
Primary gold is associated with quartz developed in a shear zone generally 5 – 20m wide. Quartz is often dark
grey to smoky and fills fissures as veins and stockworks. Invariably, quartz porphyry occurs at the foot and
hanging walls of the shear zone often defined by graphitic gouge. Sulphides such as pyrite, arsenopyrite,
pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite occur with the gold and the schistose host rocks exhibit carbonate alteration and
are often graphitic.
Four types of quartz have been distinguished:
1. The richest is almost black in colour
2. Laminated quartz is usually payable
3. Mottled quartz is medium to low grade
4. Pure white quartz is the poorest
The high grade orebody consists of greyish quartz veins with thicknesses averaging 3 - 4m in the mined out
areas. Descriptions of the old mine indicate that there were two main ore shoots which are understood to be
high grade lenses within the quartz-filled shear zones. Lower grade disseminated gold mineralisation is
developed in the adjoining metasediments
From the Noble Website....150,000 oz per year production...wonder if they want to do a deal with the EKOM EYA.... 42 boring surrounding the BVIG Claim
Notice Appendix 3, the use the year 2012 and hole number to locate the holes... In other reports they listed 42 holes drilled in the Bibiani North... the HA HA EYA report shows the additional boring to the East... Noble has just reported on their site that they will be producing 150,000 oz per year...there is alot of gold there and their gold seems to just a bit deeper than the prior excavation in the mines...the power tools and the electric pumps have be running for awhile now....

Were Drilled to the North and South of_the_Known_Bibiani_North_Mineralised_Zoned.....seems clear to me BVIG EKOM EYA is at the center of a deposit Noble is very interested in

Bibiani
Bibiani mine produced 54,015 ounces at a cash
cost of US$180 per ounce, and well exceeded the
target of 51,000 ounces. Total ore processed
amounted to 0.6 million tonnes. This was
achieved at a head grade of 3.3 grammes per
tonne. Measured recovery stood at 89.2%.
Over the period, mining operations centred on the
Main Pit and South Hill, with South Hill operations
coming to an end. Activities at Big Mug have been
suspended until the fourth quarter of 1999 when
drier weather is expected.
Exploration continues with trenching in the
Pamumu B zone and line cutting in preparation for
the geophysical survey is scheduled to commence
soon. At the Bibiani north waste dump, several
trenches were excavated across the waste dump of
the old underground mine. The first phase of the
exploration drilling to test the potential for
underground resources commenced.
The revegetation programme is in progress. The
transplanting of seedlings into the waste dump
reclamation area is expected to be completed by
the beginning of the next quarter

NOBLE finally put on website

You can see that the additional boring done to the east of the EKOM EYA
Looks like Bibiani North Area is the place
Noble has drilled 42 core in the Bibiani North Area...Drill rigs got there by way of road...like the power lines...
Bibiani up and rising for Noble
4th Jul 2012
JULY 4 – Australian miner Noble Mineral Resources is expecting further growth in resources at its Bibiani gold mine in Ghana’s Ashanti Gold Belt after recording a 26% increase at the Big Pit.
The Big Pit’s Big Mug, South Hill and Russel zones hold 2.5Moz, with satellite pits contributing 290,000oz for total measured, indicated and inferred resources of 2.79Moz.
Noble says an updated report from Coffey Mining on the satellite pits is expected in two weeks. A further report on reserve calculations for full life of mine planning is due by the end of July.
Commissioning of the processing plant is continuing, with 5500oz gold produced to date.
While work continues on commissioning the primary crusher, the company is assessing the feasibility of hiring a mobile crusher to boost production and cash flow from higher grade primary ore in addition to the levee material and soft ore being processed.
They added 1 million oz of gold to the resource estimate....and the now have cash flow....production exceeds estimates....great website news by month.

Makes you wonder how a company studying the deposits in Canada found this 24.7 acre claim in the heart of the Bibiani....
Wonder if Picket was the contact that got things together...he worked at KATX and in Ghana ....think he was looking for V and Co...real world links between Canada and the African Copperbelt
wonder if they will find any....
Manu kinda comes with the whole EKOM EYA.....
