Liguidi Project

Summary:

Liguidi is an exciting tenement that has been interpreted as being located on similar rock types and structural settings to the Bombore (3.4 Moz Au) and Kiaka (4.2 Moz Au) deposits.

The Liguidi tenement is located

    - 20km SE of Orezone's 3.4 Moz Au Bombore deposit
    - 40km NE of Volta’s 4.2 Moz Au Kiaka deposit
    - Adjacent to Riverstone's Ligidi-Malguem project - in the early stages of outlining a resource at their Three Hills Prospect.

Location:

The tenement is approximately 110 km ESE (in a straight line) from Ouagadougou, and covers an area of 245.93 km2.

Liguidi is accessed by the N4 tarmac road from Ouagadougou to Koupéla, then the N16 tarmac south to Tenkodogo, followed by the N17 tarmac east to Garngo and then north on dirt roads to the tenement area. The total travel distance from Ouagadougou to the tenement area is approximately 220km. On the tenement itself, access is generally good on a series of north south dirt tracks.

Geology:

The Liguidi tenement is underlain by Birimian rocks surrounded by older granites, leucogranites and granodiorites and are prospective for gold associated with Birimian volcano sedimentary rocks, schists and mafic rocks.

The tenement can be explored relatively cheaply as the basement is only covered by a shallow weathering and laterite profile (0 to <2m depth).

A zone of sporadic artisanal workings extends over a distance of 8 km in the north western part of the tenement area.

Aperio believes there is a strong possibility for lower grade gold mineralisation haloes surrounding the higher grade veins. The lower grade haloes are not usually of sufficiently high grade to interest artisanal miners, and may greatly enhance the financial prospectivity of the Project if of sufficient magnitude.

Boussoum Project

Summary:

Boussoum is a highly prospective tenement located on the eastern south going limb of the folded Boromo-Goren Greenstone belt. Further to the north west of the permit, the greenstone belt swings to an east-west strike, and is host to High River Gold’s Bissa Hill deposit (>1.2 Moz Au).

Location:

The Boussoum tenement covers an area of 244.91 Km2 and located approximately 75 kilometres north-east of Ouagadougou in the Sanmatenga province and is accessed by the R2 tarmac road that runs northeast from Ouagadougou to Korsimoro and then north straight up the middle of the western arm of the tenement.

Geology:

The Boussoum tenement is on the south eastern going limb of the folded Boromo-Goren Greenstone belt.

Much of the Boussoum area is under cover of transported and in situ laterites that have potential for possible subsurface ore-bodies.

The tenement contains multiple historical and current artisanal mining. There is additional artisan mining activity on the basalt units located to the north west of the Boussoum tenement. These basalt units are believed to extend into the tenement area, but are mostly covered by laterite. Artisans have reported fine, low grade gold in river gravels and sediments and abundant evidence of small scale scratching in several creek beds in the south region of the permit.
