Assay TV catches up with Peter Ledwidge, founder and managing director of Mako Gold (ASX MKG), an Australian-based exploration company focused on advancing its flagship Napié Gold Project in Côte d’Ivoire located in the West African Birimian Greenstone Belts, which host more than 70Moz of gold deposits.
Peter informs us that Mako has recently announced an 868Koz Au maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at its Napié Project. The maiden MRE comprises the Tchaga and Gogbala prospects which constitute only 4.4km of the 30km-long Napié Shear. Only 13% of the Napié Shear has been systematically drilled, indicating the strong potential for a multi-million-ounce gold system at Napié.
In addition, the company has 100% ownership of the Korhogo Gold Project, comprising two permits covering 17km of faulted greenstone/granite contact (high-grade gold targets) located within 30km of Barrick’s operating Tongon Gold Mine.
