Pasofino Gold Limited is is gearing up for an extensive exploration campaign in Bukon Jedeh, Liberia, as part of its Dugbe gold project.
Bukon Jedeh
Bukon Jedeh is situated on a 4.1km trend of productive artisanal gold mining, located about 10 km southeast of the Dugbe Gold Project in Liberia. Despite its abundant gold and history of production, the area’s geology and potential are not fully understood.
In 2012/2013, Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes found high-grade gold intervals in the Tuzon and Dugbe F deposits. Pasofino revisited the area in 2022 and collected up to 31 g/t gold samples. Pasofino plans to commence exploration with diamond core drilling in March 2024. The drilling will involve testing a selection of ‘hard rock’ pits, twinning some previous RC drill holes, and testing the fold-hinge target. The company aims to better understand the geology through geological mapping and high-resolution ground magnetic survey data.
The drill rig has been mobilized from Monrovia to Greenville, a coastal town located about 70 km from Bukon Jedeh. Preparation of access roads and drill sites is ongoing. A 125-150 line-km ground magnetic survey will be conducted by SEMS Exploration of Ghana to assist in positioning drillholes and interpreting results.
