Shanta Gold Reports Encouraging Exploration Results at West Kenya Project
Shanta Gold, a mining company, has unveiled promising findings from its latest exploration activities at the West Kenya project in Kenya.
The company’s successful drilling efforts have led to the conversion of resources from the inferred to indicated category, indicating significant commercial potential.
During the exploration period spanning from Q4 2023 to Q1 2024, Shanta Gold drilled a total of 2,911 meters across 24 holes at the Ramula deposit.
This focused drilling campaign is expected to culminate in a mineral resource estimate by Q2 2024, demonstrating the project’s progress towards development.
In addition to activities at the Ramula deposit, the company conducted drilling at other prospective targets, including Miruka and Anomaly 22. Encouragingly, gold-bearing sands and rocks were intercepted at varying depths and lateral extents in these areas, with a total of six holes drilled.
Eric Zurrin, CEO of Shanta Gold, expressed optimism about the results, stating, “The assays from our exploration efforts at Miruka and Anomaly 22 have confirmed the presence of economic mineralization, reinforcing the continuity of mineralization in these areas.”
These positive findings underscore the potential of the West Kenya project and highlight Shanta Gold’s commitment to advancing its exploration and development efforts in the region.
