Chayinda Au (ZRL) - Zambian Copperbelt (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
Chayinda was discovered in 1934 when pitting and trenching by Rhodesia Minerals Concessions Ltd (RST) returned up to 62.9g/t Au. In 1960, RST conducted geological mapping, geochemical sampling and magnetic and radiometric surveying. Trenching showed mineralisation to be thin, with intervals up to 0.6m averaging 2.12g/t Au. In 1976, the Zambian Ministry of Mines conducted mapping, panning,magnetic and gravity surveying, soil sampling, trenching and pitting. Eleven vertical diamond drillholes were completed for a total of 544m. Samples were analysed by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) methods. The work led to the estimation of “proven reserves” of 79,300t averaging 5g/t Au plus a “probable reserve” of 77,600t averaging 5g/t Au.
