Abstract:
Approximately 4Moz of gold have been discovered to date at the Yaouré gold deposit in Côte d’Ivoire, demonstrating the high endowment of the area despite little exploration at depths beyond 350m. With the objective of accelerating its search for mineralisation under and nearby to the known mineralisation, Perseus completed a 16km2 3D seismic survey and a 24km regional 2D seismic line. The data have been interpreted to build a detailed 3D structural model at Yaouré and this, together with the interpretation of the 2D seismic data have provided critical new insight into the underlying mineral system by illuminating previously unseen geological features, which occur beyond the limits of traditional geophysical measurements.
