Trigon Metals is allocating US$2.5 million to US$3.5 million to explore other prospects in and around existing Kombat Mine’s infrastructure and landholdings.
The Canadian company is targeting the Schlangental, situated about 15 kilometers east of the active mining license ML73B, as a key prospect.
Trigon Metals has finalized its comprehensive exploration plan for the expansive Kombat property, spanning nearly 35 km from Gross Otavi in the west and Schlangental to the east.
The initial drilling at Schlangental represented the first campaign testing mineralization outside of the main Kombat mining license.
Surface mineralization attracted Trigon Metals geologists to the Schlangental area, where reports of historic drilling indicated that mineralization continued at depth, but no drill core or detailed logs were available.
Of the planned 36 holes totalling 4000 m, only two have been drilled to date, with both holes intercepting mineralization at modest depths.
