BIBEMI & WAPOUZÉ, CAMEROON

Licences cover Pan-African greenstone belts, prospective for hosting multi-million ounce gold deposits

Neo-Proterozoic greenstone rocks associated with major crustal faults

“Zalbi Group” volcano-sedimentary rocks (~750-670 Ma) host gold mineralisation in Cameroon and Chad. Commonly form elongated, fault-bound basins, enclosed between granodioritic to granitic intrusions

Gold is hosted in quartz and quartz-tourmaline veins associated with diorite, quartz-rich schists, sericitic schists and amphibolite schists
