The ore deposit type is defined as orogenic lode gold with supergene enriched saprolitic zones. The geology at Diamba Sud is composed of sedimentary packages that are intruded by mafic to felsic intrusions of varying proportions and trajectories. Mineralisation is structurally controlled by faults and shears and mineralisation can occur within all lithologies that mineralised structures crosscut. Mineralisation can be disseminated or veined and is dominantly associated with pervasive alteration. Supergene enrichment of orogenic mineralisation within the saprolite zone is responsible for increasing grades of mineralisation dominantly within Area D.Area D mineralisation has been separated into 3 domains, High Grade Oxide, Sapzone and Fresh. The mineralisation in the fresh is interpreted to be striking approximately N-S and dipping to the west between 30-45°. Oxide mineralisation forms a horizontal blanket overlying the fresh mineralisation. The Area D mineralised trend is greater than 250m long and greater than 300m wide in sections.This style of mineralisation can occur as veins or disseminations in altered (often silicified) host rock or as pervasive alteration over a broad zone.Deposits are often found in close proximity to linear geological structures (faults & shears) often associated with deep-seated structures.Lateritic weathering is common within the project area and is deepest over Area D. The depth to fresh rock in Area D a depths ranging between 20–50 m from surface.DimensionsThe primary Mineral Resource extent in Area D is approximately 250 m in the north/south direction and ~250 m in the east west direction. The oxide resource at Area D contains the main zone of mineralisation hosting >60% of the total mineralisation.Depth of the oxide Resource domain is variable throughout the deposit, however it is largely between 20 m to 50 m.The fresh mineralised domain starts from 20–50 m depth and thus far has only been drilled to a maximum depth of ~180 m.
