Exploration activities started in January 2008 desk study, geological mapping, stream sediment survey and soil geochemical sampling

The results of stream sediment surveys resulted in the delineation of 3 separate anomalies: Adieyie, Central and Bonsa

The Adeiyie and Bonsa anomalies are considered to be priority target areas One trench included four separate mineralised intervals with grades greater than 1 g/t Au The widest mineralised interval is 4 m in width and the highest value was 10 g/t Au
