3.5PROPOSED EXPLORATION WORK PROGRAMME 3.5.1Outline Of Proposed Future Exploration Program
Mapping on the Tinga licence should consist of litho-structural mapping of the existing Semafo trenches and the available outcrops. With the aim of further elucidating the structural deformation history in order to identify gold bearing structures and orientations.
It is recommended that some of the Semafo trenches are extended to the NW in order to confirm the presence of the shallow dipping mineralised thrust(?) intersected in the boreholes, during the second drill programme.
A further phase of scout reverse circulation drilling will be required in the future.
4.CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Birim Goldfields intends to continue exploration on the Tinga Prospecting license. The systematic work and compilation of data undertaken by Birim will be followed up and targets will be pursued. Results from work completed have been encouraging and Birim is confident that additional careful systematic work could result in economic discoveries on the property.
Birim Goldfields requests that the Prospecting License be extended for an additional period to allow ongoing prospecting (Figure 7).
Birim Goldfields has expended approximately US$ 1,485,678.66 on the Tinga Prospecting License to date.
