The Fetekro project, which includes the Lafigué gold deposit, is located in the northern end of the Oumé-Fetekro greenstone belt (lower Proterozoïc), a North-South elongated belt which is approximately 300 km long and 20 km wide. This belt is composed mainly of Birimian volcanosediments, consisting mainly of mafic to intermediate metavolcanics, felsic metavolcanics, and clastic metasediments, that are bound and intruded by granitoid complexes. Known gold deposits such as Bonikro and Agbaou are hosted within the same belt.

Lafigué deposit geology is a birimian volcanic complex mostly composed of mafic rocks, namely metagabbros / metanorites and metabasalts and felsic intrusive (granodiorite or tonalite) that occurs in the western part of the prospect. This volcanic complex is affected by a transpressive deformation and intruded by granodioritic bodies and quartz-porphyry dykes. Regional foliation varies in strike from N-S to N070° with gentle to intermediate / steep dips to the E and S (25°-65°).

The mineralisation is mainly controlled by an ENE-trending brittle-ductile thrust fault dipping 15° to 45° SSE. Mineralisation is mainly hosted by a network of Qz-Cb-To-Py-Po±Visible Gold quartz veins within sheared and altered brittle-ductile deformation zones of various thickness (few metres to some 10 metres and so). The alteration assemblage comprises Bt-Ser±To±Chl±Cb (Carbonates) and various amounts of disseminated Pyrrhotite and Pyrite (up to 5% or so).

At Lafigué, a prominent deformation zone is typically located at the contact zone between a mafic intrusive (gabbro) and mafic volcanics, whereby the contact also occurs with a felsic intrusive at Lafigué Nord. The shear zones are better developed at or near lithological contact zones, where competency contrasts favour the localisation of brittle-ductile shearing, permeability increase and enhanced hydrothermal fluid flow. However, these shear zones also appear in the core of massive intrusive or metavolcanic units.

The mineralisation has been recognised over 2 km along an ENE axis and the down dip extension has been demonstrated over 1 km so far.

Two types of mineralisation have been identified:
- An overburden mineralisation (transported material composed of quartz blocs and pebbles in a clayish matrix). This portion represents less than 5% of the deposit resources.
- Mineralisation is mainly hosted by a network of quartz veins. The succession of hydrothermal events associated with C-plane fracture phases and thrusting resulted in the formation of two ore-bearing, quartz-carbonatetourmaline-(chlorite-biotite-pyrrhotitepyrite-gold) in echelon extension vein generations. The textural and geochemical (minor elements and boron isotopy) features of the distinct tourmaline generations highlight the micro-scale record of fault-valve processes leading to the overall gold endowment of Lafigué deposit. The lodes generally occur on lithological or structural discontinuities, typically at the granodiorite edges, on C-planes or re-opening early Quartz-Carbonate veins. At the deposit scale, the lodes show pinch and swell figures both laterally and longitudinally with thicknesses up to 40 metre.

The Fêtêkro deposit resembles a typical shear zone deposit of the West African granite-greenstone terrane. Lafigue gold mineralisation can be associated with the low-sulphide quartz gold (of 03-077) deposit model of Laurence J. Drew (Drew, L., 2003, Low-Sulfide Quartz Gold Deposit Model. U.S. Geological Survey, p1-24).

The Fêtêkro deposit resembles a typical shear zone deposit of the West African granite-greenstone terrane. The deposit itself is associated with a major regional North South shear zone. The lithologies can be any form of sediment (volcanosediment) or igneous rock with the main feature being a shear zone between the two contrasting lithologies (metabasalt and metagabbro or metabasalt and intrusive).

Mineralisation may also be spatially related to the emplacement of intrusives. The gold mineralisation is mesothermal in origin and occurs as free gold in quartz vein stockworks and zones of silicification, associated with tourmaline, calcite, ankerite and pyrite. The gold mineralisation is found in linear zones in or near the contacts between two different rock types (Metabasalt and metagabbro or metabasalt and intrusive). This contact shows evidence of shearing. Alteration is weak to severe depending on the development of the system.

The final July 2020 interpretation included twenty-two mineralized zones / domains and four mineralised laterite zones, which collectively make up the deposit. The Lafigué deposits are separated into three main areas, Lafigué South, Lafigué Centre, Lafigué North and mineralised laterite are typical cross-Sections A-B-C-D-E showing the mineralised domains with the drillholes.

The Fêtêkro prospect has not been mined commercially. Only artisanal mining has been observed. The quartz veins have been manually mined out and sorted.

Lafigué Gold Project is intended to be conventional open pit mining using a drill, blast, load, haul and tip mining cycle. Endeavour plan to contract out the mining to a suitable mining contractor whilst maintaining operation oversight. Given the high grades, this does not preclude future underground mining if the orebody extends at depth.

The saprolite and laterite is anticipated to be primarily free-dig, potentially requiring ripping. Production drilling of saprock and fresh material will be undertaken by top hammer drills drilling 127 mm diameter holes. As rock strengths increase, blasting will be utilised more regularly in the saprock with powder factors estimated at 0.36 kg/bcm. All the fresh rock will be blasted with powder factors estimated at 0.83 kg/bcm.

Loading will be undertaken by hydraulic excavators (100 t and 200 t operating weights) to provide a balance between mining selectively and productivity. Hauling will be undertaken by rigid body dump trucks (90 t capacity).

Ore will be tipped on:
- Strategic long-term (LT) stockpiles to increase the plant feed grade and for rehandle during later stage pre-strip.
- Run-of-mine (ROM) stockpiles for short-term rehandle to the crusher.

Waste will be tipped on:
- External waste dumps.
- Bund and road construction.
- Tails dam wall construction.
- Inpit backfill may be potentially available but has not been incorporated into the mining schedule.

The primary mining equipment will be supported by suitably sized ancillary and support equipment such as, but not limited to, dozers, graders, water carts and wheel loaders. This equipment will be
used for activities such as:
• Clearing and stripping of topsoil.
• Construction of haul roads and ramps (temporary and long-term).
• Pit, stockpile and dump floor maintenance.
• Ripping of free-dig material, if required.
• Dump face reshaping for rehabilitation, topsoil spreading, ripping, and seeding.
• Drill pattern preparation.
• Clean-up of spillage around pit, stockpile and dump working areas and haul roads and
ramp.
• Stockpile rehandle.
• Dust suppression on roads, loading and tipping areas.
• Fire fighting.

The Lafigué plant will process fresh and oxide ores and is expected to operate on either 100% fresh ore (possibly with a small portion of oxide) or 100% oxide ore. The fresh and oxide ores have different comminution and material handling characteristics with the fresh ore significantly more competent than the oxide ore. The ore types require different comminution flowsheets.

The plant design is based on a nominal capacity of 3.0 Mtpa of fresh ore and is expected to process 3.5 Mtpa of oxide ore. The plant will process either 100% fresh ore (possibly with a small portion of oxide) or 100% oxide ore. The plant feed schedule indicates that the life of mine (LOM) plant feed is 8% oxide / transition ore and 92% % fresh ore, with the majority of oxide ore processed in the first two years of operation.

Gravity Concentration
Gravity testwork indicated that 20 to 90% of the contained gold in the Lafigué ores is recoverable through gravity gold methods. The gravity cir ........
