At the Bongouanou Permit, government regional airborne geophysical surveys suggests a structurally complex region. The strong northeast-southwest fabric is similar to the dominant lineaments associated with most West African gold deposits. A soil geochemistry program was carried out in 2020 with 2800 samples taken. Several areas of anomalous gold results require additional follow up work and the Company anticipates a conducting an drone magnetics survey over the concession in 2023.
