Kerouane Project (polymetallic, uranium, gold)
The Kerouane Project is considered to be highly prospective for polymetallic mineralisation with IOCGU (iron oxide, copper gold, uranium), unconformity uranium and sedimentary exhalative styles of mineralisation.
The theory is supported by:
- The presence of composite volcanics capping the local margin of the Birimian basin suite
- Deep basin diagenetic and metamorphic fluids which have been tapped and directed up-dip via an expansive array of lystric faults
- Added convective drive to mineralising fluid, caused by successive phases of volcanism and plutonism followed by a very late emplacement of mantle sourced mafic plumes
- Continued fluid focus and pumping along the Diani Fault in association with its cyclic reactivation history
All of the above points have provided an integrated source, a driving mechanism, a conduit and focus for upwelling of the mineralised fluid along the northern projection of the Diani Fault where deposition has taken place.
Burey has two licences, Balatindi and Dion-Koulai, and one licence awaiting approval which need to be further tested to define economic mineralisation.
