Hello prospectors & developers, Motherlode Consulting Inc. would like to bring you our 27th post of world-class mineral districts! Our 27th post focuses on #gold in #WesternAfrica Region, including #BurkinaFaso, #CôtedIvoire, #Ghana, #Liberia, #Mali, and #Senegal, which has drawn the attention of 102 mining & exploration companies, 30 being Canadian-listed, 18 being ASX-listed, 7 being UK-listed, 4 being USA-listed, 4-listed in other exchanges and 37 being private companies. #BurkinaFaso ranks 65, #CôtedIvoire ranks 44, #Ghana ranks 58, #Liberia 73, #Mali 70, #Senegal 80 and #Sierra Leone 78 of the world for its Investment Attractiveness measured in The Fraser Institute Annual Survey of Mining Companies 2023. Gold mineralization primarily occurs in #orogenic #greenstone belt gold deposits, which are primarily hosted in ancient, deformed volcanic-sedimentary sequences (greenstone belts). Their main characteristics include association with structurally complex, #metamorphic settings, particularly near #faults and #shearzones. Mineralization is often related to regional tectonic events and fluid flow through deep crustal structures. Gold is commonly hosted in quartz-carbonate #veins, often with sulfides like pyrite or arsenopyrite. The image below shows the number of primary gold projects in Western Africa Region distributed through the Lassonde Curve. There are 68 producing projects in this region operated by several large cap mining companies including Newmont Corporation, Barrick, GOLD FIELDS, AngloGold Ashanti, Endeavour Mining and B2Gold Corp., among others. Some of the largest developing projects in feasibility stage (14), PFS/Scoping stage (15) and Resource-definition stage (28) include Montage Gold Kone in Côte d'Ivoire (259 Mt @ 0.62 g/t Au), Shandong Gold Group Co., Ltd.

Hello prospectors & developers, Motherlode Consulting Inc. would like to bring you post #21 of world-class mineral districts! Our 21 post focuses on #copper in #Africa, including #Zambia and #DRC, which have drawn the attention of 60 mining & exploration companies, 8 being UK-listed, 6 being Canadian-listed, 2 being ASX-listed, 11-listed in other exchanges and 33 being private companies. #Zambia ranks 34 and #DRC Top 61of the world for its Investment Attractiveness measured in The Fraser Institute Annual Survey of Mining Companies 2023. Copper mineralization is primarily hosted in Sediment-Hosted (#SEDEX) deposits. These deposits are typically rich in metals like #copper, #cobalt, #zinc, #lead, and #silver and are former in a reduced facies environment. This reducing environment allows for the precipitation and concentration of metal sulfides, leading to the formation of SEDEX deposits. SEDEX deposits often occur in basins with significant amounts of organic matter, such as shales or carbonate rocks. Other copper deposit types found in the Africa include Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold (#IOCG) deposits and #porphyry deposits in certain belts. The image below shows the number of primary copper projects in Zambia and DRC distributed through the Lassonde Curve. There are 56 producing projects in this region operated by several large cap mining companies including Glencore, Zijin Mining Group, Barrick, China Railway Group Limited, First Quantum Minerals, CMOC Group Limited, Sinomine Resource Exploration Co., JCHX Mining Construction Group Co.,Ltd and MMG Limited among others. Some of the largest developing projects in feasibility stage (6), PFS/Scoping stage (2) and Resource-definition stage (14) include Kendrick Resources’s Chingola Tailings (99 Mt @ 1.46% Cu), Jinchuan Group International Resources Co Ltd (GDZD)’s Lubembe (95 Mt @ 2% Cu), KPZ International’s Eureka (74 Mt @ 0.95% Cu) and Gecamines S.A. Kalumines (70 Mt @ 1.96% Cu) among others.

Hello prospectors & developers, Motherlode Consulting Inc. would like to bring you our 20th post of world-class mineral districts! Our 20th post focuses on #copper in #WesternAustralia, which has drawn the attention of 70 mining & exploration companies, 59 being ASX-listed, 9 being private companies, and 2 listed in other exchanges. #WesternAustralia ranks Top 4 of the world for its Investment Attractiveness measured in The Fraser Institute Annual Survey of Mining Companies 2023. #Copper mineralization is primarily hosted in Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (#VMS) which are large accumulations of metal sulfides formed at or near volcanic environments. They are created when hydrothermal fluids, rich in sulfur and metals, are expelled from underwater volcanic vents or hydrothermal systems. As these fluids cool and interact with seawater, they precipitate metal sulfides, such as copper, zinc, and lead, which accumulate on the seafloor. Other copper deposit types found in the Western Australia include #porphyry and Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold (#IOCG) deposits.  The image below shows the number of primary copper projects in Western Australia distributed through the Lassonde Curve. There are 4 producing projects in this region operated by several mining companies including Sandfire, 29Metals and Cyprium Metals Limited (ASX: CYM).. Some of the largest developing projects in feasibility stage (3), PFS/Scoping stage (6) and Resource-definition stage (15) include Caravel Minerals (1.2 Bt @ 0.24% Cu), Rio Tinto’s Winu (721 Mt @ 0.4% Cu), Cazaly Resources Limited’s Halls Creek (97 Mt @ 0.29% Cu) and Cyprium Metals Limited (ASX: CYM)’s Maroochydore (49 Mt @ 0.99% Cu) among others. There is a vast amount (67) of exploration stage projects in this region. Some of the junior companies exploring in this region include IGO Ltd, Gold Road Resources, WA1 Resources Ltd, Encounter Resources Limited, DevEx Resources, Minerals 260 Limited, Ausgold Limited, S2 Resources Ltd, Artemis Resources (ASX:ARV), Empire Metals Ltd, Augustus Minerals Limited, Red Metal Resources Ltd., Recharge Metals Limited, SensOre, Askari Metals Limited (ASX: AS2), and Infinity Mining Limited among others.

Hello prospectors & developers, Motherlode Consulting Inc. would like to bring you our 19th post of world-class mineral districts! Our 19th post focuses on #copper in #Arizona, which has drawn the attention of 37 mining & exploration companies, 21 being Canadian-listed, 4 being ASX-listed, 3 being USA-listed, 4-listed in other exchanges and 7 being private companies. #Arizona ranks Top 7 of the world for its Investment Attractiveness measured in The Fraser Institute Annual Survey of Mining Companies 2023.
