Ongwe Minerals discovers gold-rich bedrock at Khorixas, Namibia
via The Namibian2 hours ago5 min read
Canadian company Ongwe Minerals Inc. has announced the discovery of a 2km-long, gold-rich bedrock area within the Khorixas fault zone at its Belmont prospect in Namibia. According to Dave Underwood, Ongwe's chief executive, the gold bedrock is located under thick alluvial and calcrete cover, with altered and mineralised wall rock up to 125m wide. Bedrock samples show gold values of 0.2g/t, and higher-grade quartz veins are anticipated within the package. Underwood stated that the initial bedrock sampling program at Belmont successfully defined a coherent and extensive zone of bedrock alteration and mineralisation along the Khorixas fault. This discovery establishes a strong drill target that will be tested in the coming months. Ongwe Minerals, formerly Great Quest Gold, holds three flagship projects in Namibia, including the Khorixas project, which encompasses the Belmont prospect. The company has now moved its bedrock sampling program to the Manga target on the Omatjete project.
