Ahanta
- Full name:
- Ahanta, also known as Butre.
- Mwana interest:
- Mwana holds 80% in the joint venture with Ahanta Mining Limited.
- Geology and history:
- The Ahanta project lies at the southern limit of the Ashanti Gold Belt. Airborne geophysics has indicated several major shear structures on the margins of the greenstone belt. Gold in soil geochemical anomalies has been outlined over an aggregate strike length of 8km in parallel structures on the shears, and trenching in the central portion of the eastern anomaly has defined a 1.2km gold anomaly with grades of more than 1g/t over a width of up to 32m. Drill targets have been identified for both shears and have been followed up with RC drilling. Follow-up work includes an on-going hand-auger drill programme.
- Current status and prospects:
- At Ahanta, Mwana is completing a reassessment of the new RC drilling within the context of all of the available historical data.
