Lindian Resources confirms bauxite extensions at Gaoual Project in Guinea

Lindian Resources has communicated by stating the confirmations of significant extensions to its high-grade conglomerate bauxite resource at the Gaoual Bauxite Project in Guinea, West Africa.

The company reported at the beginning of the month that they located two new areas of conglomerate bauxite at Gaoual post new geological work has been carried out.

These included a one-kilometre northern extension to the Bouba Plateau at Gaoual and a new area to the south of the plateau called Bouba South.

Lindian has now accomplished its drilling program on these areas and has confirmed that the areas are conglomerate bauxite and are very high-grade.

Bauxite is a sedimentary rock with high aluminium content and is the main source ore for aluminium.

According to the company “conglomerate bauxite is considered a more superior type of rock and has a higher grade of contained aluminium which makes it more efficient to mine.”

The two new identified areas are set in a lower elevation than that seen at the Bouba Plateau and are made up of long pebbles and spheres.

The geology of the northern extension of the Bouba Plateau is made up of bauxite mineralisation, averaging a thickness of four metres and depths of seven metres.

Drilling in these areas has confirmed that the conglomerate bauxite is surrounded by either iron-rich soil and rocks or sandstone.

Shannon Green, Managing Director, said. “Drilling confirmation that these two areas are as we believed to be conglomerate bauxite is another fantastic outcome for the project as we continue to build scale.”

He also added, "The potential for Bouba south to be even higher grade the Bouba is extremely exciting for us and with our geologists continuing to undertake high-quality field works the potential for further conglomerate bauxite discoveries is high.”
