Exploration · Exploration
Spending only what the geology has earned.
Much of Africa's most prospective gold ground has never seen modern exploration. We take positions in licences with local holders and advance them in stages, each with a budget and a decision point.

01Exploration
Staged programmes
Mapping and stream or soil geochemistry find the anomalies. Trenching and shallow auger or RAB drilling test the best of them. Only targets that survive see diamond or RC drilling. Data is shared with the partner at every stage.
02Exploration
Where
Greenstone in Kenya, South Sudan and the DRC. The Birimian in Guinea. Archaean ground in Gabon. In every case alongside a local licence holder who knows the ground, the community and the regulator.
03Exploration
Earn-in
We earn an interest by funding exploration to agreed milestones. The original holder keeps a carried interest, and a discovery flows into development through our mining business.
