Apollo Minerals Limited reported the results of a recent surface exploration program undertaken at the Kroussou zinc-lead project in western Gabon. A program of geological mapping, rock chip and soil sampling was carried out across three target prospects within the Kroussou project, including the high priority Niamabimbou prospect; rock chip samples collected from the Niamabimbou prospect identified widespread high grade zinc-lead mineralization with grades up to 20.16% combined Zn-Pb; best results from the sampling program at the Niamabimbou prospect include: 20.16% combined Zn-Pb from sample JBR246; 15.20% combined Zn-Pb from sample JBR244; 10.71% combined Zn-Pb from sample JBR136; 8.15% combined Zn-Pb from sample JBR069; 7.98% combined Zn-Pb from sample JBR201; 7.84% combined Zn-Pb from sample JBR131; 7.14% combined Zn-Pb from sample JBR049. Mapping has identified multiple new zones of mineralized outcrops extending over wide areas, each representing an exploration target with the potential to host significant shallow, zinc-lead mineralization. Soil sampling grids were completed at the Niamabimbou, Dignali and Ofoubou Prospects, with the results pending. Exploration to date continues to validate the province-scale base metals potential of the project. Only four of the 18 prospects have been drill tested to date, with all four channels intersecting zinc-lead mineralisation at very shallow depths. Multiple opportunities for discovery with all 18 prospects remaining open and under explored, with broader, deeper parts of the basin to the west completely untested. Positive initial metallurgical test work has confirmed high recoveries and produced separate, high grade and high-quality zinc and lead concentrates with very low deleterious/penalty elements. Drilling programs are being designed to focus on defining sufficient shallow open-pittable,high grade zinc-lead mineralization to justify commencement of feasibility studies. Drill rigs will be mobilized to site in the coming months.
