Babonga Gold Project

Project Location

The Babonga Project is located in north-eastern Burkina Faso, approximately 364 km northeast of the capital city, Ouagadougou. BIC has recently acquired Golden Rim Resources SARL, the company that holds the Babonga Project.

Project Area

Project Geology

The Babonga Project is regionally characterized by four major lithological units. In the northwestern corner, there is the presence of leptynite, along with a parallel zone of basalt reported in the same area. The rest of the project area is dominated by granitic rocks, including both leucogranite and granite.

Project Highlights and Future Steps
01

4 km long x 300 m wide consistent gold anomaly in soil (maximum Au reported is 270 ppb);

02

Soil anomaly align with major NNE trending regional structure;

03

Strongest part of gold anomaly extends for 2.1 km and tested with Air Core drilling;

04

Air Core drilling confirms the gold mineralisation in the bed rock;

05

Significant intersections:

  • 7 m at 1.6 g/t gold from 28 m (BABAC011)
  • 2 m at 3.1 g/t gold from 4 m (BABAC017)
  • 6 m at 1.1 g/t gold from 14 m (BABAC055)
06

BIC currently designing a deeper RC drilling program to test the AC intersection and massive auger program for testing the 4 km long gold anomaly in soil.
