Verified fact

Established and documented information.

Historical reference

Drawn from earlier regional studies.

Modelled interpretation

Derived from modelling, pending physical confirmation.

Regional geology

Within a recognised gold belt.

The Komassala-South permit lies in the Bougouni district of southern Mali, part of the Birimian greenstone terrain that hosts numerous gold occurrences across West Africa.

Regional prospectivity is a geological context, not a statement of defined resources on this permit.

On the permit

Formations & mineralisation indicators.

Historical reference

Greenstone formations

Birimian metavolcanic and metasedimentary units typical of the region. [detail to confirm]

Modelled / observed

Structural corridors

Fault and shear structures that can localise gold mineralisation.

Observed indicator

Artisanal workings

Historic and current small-scale mining in the area is a recognised surface indicator of gold.

Maps & cross-sections

Interpreting the subsurface.

Geological maps and cross-sections combine surface mapping, sampling and drilling to interpret how mineralisation may continue at depth.
