Red Rock Resources (LON:RRR) released further results from the Mikei gold project in Kenya, which show the potential for stacked ore zones.
The firm has now received all analytical results from the firm's 111 hole, 13,375 metre infill drill programme at the project, it said.
Of particular interest was a "number of strong results" from KKM West in what is interpreted to be a series of newly defined locally high grade mineralised surfaces, lying parallel to and above what was previously identified as the main zone of mineralisation", the company said.
It highlighted that stacked ore zones greatly increase the opportunities for open cut mining.
The latest results all come from the KKM-West (KW), Gori Maria (GM) and Nyanza (NZ) prospects.
Overall the project has five linked deposits.
The figures will be used in a new mineral resource estimate, which consultants CSA Global are currently modelling, the company added.
Then, pit shells will be modelled on the best areas of shallow mineralisation in a bid to understand the economic potential of the site and to improve planned drilling.
It comes after earlier this month, the firm said base metal exploration had confirmed the prospectivity of the Migori project, which lies in south west Kenya.
