The results indicate further exploration involving geochemical and geophysical work which, if successful, should set the stage for drilling in the bedrock that is a direct extension of the Keegan Esaase-Jeni Project.
Prior to Keegan's acquisition of the Bonte (now called Esaase) and the Jeni (Gyeni)concessions, they were mined for alluvial gold by Bonte Gold Mines, a subsidiary of Akrokeri-Ashanti Gold Mines of Canada. This recent alluvial activity suggests the strong viability of the alluvial opportunity on our concession and alluvial Joint Venture partners are being sought at this time.
The Offin River area offers strong alluvial operations potential as well as the underlying bedrock is a continuation of the Keegan Esaase-Jeni Project. The large area west of the Offin River area contain some significant geological anomalies that warrant additional exploration activities. In the overall, this concession represents a significant future development opportunity for our Company.
