UK junior reports good results from its copper/gold exploration programme in Eritrea
UK-domiciled junior miner Andiamo Exploration has so far identified a 100 000 oz equivalent copper-gold resource (compliant with the Canadian NI 43 101 standard) at its Yacob Dewar property in Eritrea, in the Horn of Africa. Founded in 2008, the company has so far raised $16.5-million to fund its operations. “We have defined Yacob Dewar down to 50 m, but it goes deeper than that,” company CEO and executive director Theo Botoulas told Mining Weekly at last week’s Invest in African Mining Indaba 2023, in Cape Town. “We have just completed 2 200 m of diamond drilling to extend this resource in depth. These samples are still to be assayed. Once we get the results, we’ll review them and then we’ll further develop our plans for Yacob Dewar.”
