On track to multi-million ounce gold deposits
Patarica says that Bassari’s pursuit of multimillion
ounce gold deposits today is being guided
by the work going on at Makabingui.
“We believe we’re on that path with
Makabingui—and given we have resource drilling
there at the moment and eight other prospects
that we can advance today, we will eventually grow
our resource base through the ongoing resource
drilling and converting our other prospects to
resource projects,” he says.
“We’ve mainly focused on our western corridor,
but we also have the eastern corridor that is
very much under explored.”
With operational mines close to Bassari’s
permit areas and the geology that houses them
extending through the company’s permits so
far as into Mali where other mines are active,
southeastern Senegal looks to be every inch
the prospective spot that Bassari has hoped.
The company is in a prime area of the Birimian
greenstone belt with an enviable landholding. Its
prospects are ever-edging farther down the development
track and proving that the company’s
aim to uncover multi-million ounce gold deposits
draws closer by the day.
