ENDEAVOUR Mining is due to post a maiden resource estimate for Fetekro, a greenfield exploration property in north-central Côte d’Ivoire which it described today as “a priority target” in the fourth quarter of this year.
Follow up drilling is scheduled to start in the same quarter.
“We are eager to publish a maiden resource later this year, which may bring us one step closer to achieving our second key objective within our five-year exploration program – that of discovering of a standalone greenfield project in West Africa,” said Patrick Bouisset, executive vice-president exploration and growth for Endeavour Mining.
Endeavour began exploration on the Fetekro property in March 2017. Since then, a total of 312 holes have been drilled, amounting to nearly 32,000 meters, the company said.
“Drilling mainly focused on the highly prospective Lafigué target where a large mineralised vein system was defined over an area 2.5km long by 0.6km wide, remaining open at depth and towards the east,” it said.
