Chesser Resources Limited (ASX: CHZ) is a company from the metals and the mining sector, actively exploring for gold in Eastern Senegal within the highly prospective Kedougou-Kenieba Inlier.
On 10 April 2019, Chesser Resources announced the result of the second set of assay results received from the Phase 1 RC drilling program at the Diamba Sud Project situated in eastern Senegal. The project covers an area of 53.2 Sq km over the gold-sustaining prospect of Kedougou-Kenieba Inlier, which consists of two blocks. These are DS1 and DS2 and is situated in the north and south respectively.
Senegal Mali Shear Zone (SMSZ) is a major regional structure with several multi-million-ounce gold deposits. Approximately 2 km towards the Senegal Mali Shear Zone, lies the flagship project of the company, “Diamba Sud Project.”
The company at present holds around 400 sq km of highly prospective ground in the world-class gold region that remained unexplored.
The assay results were obtained from the second and third reverse circulation (RC) drill traverse testing the extensive Northern Arc target. Several high-grade gold intercepts were found within the fresh rocks.
- From the previous drilling of 42 metres, a further 12 meters drilling resulted in 3.65g/t of gold. It also included additional drilling of 8 meters from 46 metres, where 4.47 g/t gold was obtained, with the hole ending in mineralization.
- From the previous drilling of 80 metres, a further 3 meters drilling resulted in 6.19g/t of gold. It also included additional drilling of 1 meter from 81 metres, where 16.1g/t gold was obtained.
