Kavango releases technical update for Zimbabwe project
London-listed Kavango Resources has presented a technical update on the ongoing structural work on its Hillside project, in Zimbabwe.
The analysis and insights are provided by the technical team in conjunction with Murgana Structural Consulting, in Sofia, Bulgaria.
At the Nightshift, Bill’s Luck and Steenbok prospects at Hillside, within Zimbabwe’s Filabusi Greenstone Belt, gold-bearing quartz veins have been confirmed to occur within well-developed shear zones.
Preliminary structural interpretations highlight the importance of understanding the broader kinematic framework of these shear zones, as it provides critical insights into the controls on mineralisation, Kavango says.
This knowledge is expected to inform the anticipated geometry of mineralised domains, guide more effective exploration strategies and assist with vein recognition in drill core.
Also, if stretching lineation-influenced fluid flow during mineralisation, the associated shear zone kinematics may offer valuable predictive guidance on the plunge orientation of potential orebodies, Kavango avers.
“As Kavango continues to make progress helping to unlock Zimbabwe’s goldfields, we will start to release some more technical announcements, alongside our standard market releases. We will title these as ‘technical updates’ and the primary audience will be exploration and mining experts,” CEO Ben Turney explains.
“In this first technical update, we have successfully completed a study that has constrained the structural controls on gold mineralisation in three key shear zones of the Filabusi Greenstone Belt. Understanding the structural controls for gold mineralisation is crucial for discovering gold mines.
“At Hillside, the oblique-dominated shear zones and reactivated fabrics represent significant targeting criteria for ongoing gold exploration. We are encouraged by what we have proven and believe this will us accelerate development of our Steenbok, Nightshift and Bill’s Luck mining targets,” he adds.
