Minta Rutile Project

Minta Rutile – Cameroon, Central Africa

Location map of the Minta Rutile Project, Cameroon.

Project Overview

The Minta Rutile Project comprises 18 granted exploration permits and 3 exploration permits under application, across 8,800km² in a critically under-explored area of known rutile mineralisation in central Cameroon.

Mineralisation

Initial sampling has delineated areas of high grade alluvial and residual rutile at Minta and Minta East with no, or minimal overburden.  Zircon, gold and monazite have also been intersected through on ground sampling.

Recent Activity

The first systematic, residual soil, rutile reconnaissance exploration program at the Minta Rutile Project in Cameroon is ongoing.

  • Hand auger drill holes taken across the priority residual soil areas to a depth of 7m or blade refusal.

  • Panned samples taken from residual reconnaissance drill holes visually indicate heavy minerals (HM) across the entire length of the tenure:

    1. 55km x 35km Minta; and

    2. 12km x 12km Minta Est deposits.

  • Results are pending from samples submitted to laboratory for assay.

  • In addition to residual soil drilling, mapping has identified several potential areas of alluvial style mineralisation.

  • Alluvial reconnaissance exploration program has commenced.
