JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Aim-listed exploration and development company Ortac Resources’ exploration partner, Andiamo Exploration, has completed a surface trenching programme at the Yacob Dewar deposit in Eritrea.

The trenching programme was carried out along the entire 1.5 km strike length of the known gold and copper mineralisation at Yacob Dewar and was designed to link the existing drill holes with the surface mineralisation, providing greater confidence in the resource modelling work currently being undertaken.

Thirty trenches totalling 2 362 m in length were excavated to depths of between 2 m and 6 m, while 1 626 samples were collected from the base of the trenches and sent for chemical analysis.

“We look forward to receiving the assay results from the Yacob Dewar trenching programme. The results will hopefully further confirm what we have seen in the recent drilling results and enable us to model the deposit with much greater confidence, producing a maiden Joint Ore Reserves Committee-compliant resource estimate for the deposit,” Ortac CEO Vassilios Carellas said in a market update on Wednesday.
