Title: Okolom Gold Mine


1
Okolom Gold Mine
  • Olukunle Amoo
  • BestKamco Resources, Toronto, Canada

2
General Description
  • The mine is one of the richest known deposit in
    Nigeria with a recorded mining grade of 30g/ton
  • Assay results of up to 36g/ton were recorded for
    chip samples from Okolom
  • Extensive lenses and veins of quartz in faults
    and shear zone were found
  • Geophysical investigation identified a main
    quartz vein of approximately 2.8km. Two major sub
    parallel suspected veins of about 800m and 1.5km
    were delineated
  • It compares with the pinch and swell structures
    found in California

3
Location
  • Okolom/Isanlu, Yagba East local Government, Kogi,
    Nigeria.
  • Between Latitude 8 15 and 8 30 N and longitude
    6 25 and 6 55 E

Structural Map showing Okolom Prospects
5
Okolom Prospect Upper and Lower
  • q Vein quartz
  • a Amphibolite
  • ts Talc schist
  • bG Biotite Gneiss
  • UOP Upper Okolom Prospect
  • LOP Lower Okolom Prospect

6
Property Owners
  • DAMCO Nigeria Ltd
  • and
  • Nigerian Mining Corporation

7
Project Status
  • Reconnaisance scale mapping of the area including
    stream sediment sampling and panning (1 50,000)
  • Semi detailed mapping and sampling of
    Okolom/Dogon Daji veins outcrops
  • Detailed mapping of veins (1 2,000) and
    orientation soil sampling
  • Scout drilling of 10 boreholes to a cumulative
    depth of 339 meters

8
Infrasructure
  • Fairly accessible by untarred road at 23 km north
    from Isanlu which is connected to the national
    electricity grid
  • Water would be available all year round through
    the ponding of the Okolom river
  • Telephone facilities available

9
Exploration Results
  • Gold values in quartz veins are variable along
    strike from 0.1 to 36g/t Au in Okolom
  • Gold values also vary in weathered gneiss (up to
    12.96g/t Au)
  • Five of the directional drilled holes showed
    mineralization at between 13.6m and 19.73m
    vertical depth

10
Exploration Expenditure
  • More than 0.8 million dollars up to date
  • Financial engagement as well as joint venture
    agreement to be determined with Prospective
    Investors

11
Potential
  • The potential of the Okolom Gold Deposit is
    estimated at 2 Moz of Gold.

12
Preliminary Operation Target
  • Exploration work until end of 2006
  • Feasibility study 2007
  • Construction 2008
  • Production start Up 2009
  • MINING - Underground
  • OPERATION - 1,000 mt/d mining capacity
  • PROCESSING - Cyanide Leaching, recovery
  • 90

Preliminary Estimation of Economic Viability
(scenario for a 0.75 Moz deposit (pessimistic
approach) )
  • Initial Costs (Exploration, Feasibility Study)
    US 6 Million
  • Capital Investment for 1,000 mt/d operation US
    10 Million
  • Estimated Operating costs Mining and
    beneficiation US 150 per oz
