Summary:

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).


Mining Methods

  • Truck & Shovel / Loader


Summary:

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 roa ........
