The Bitam polymetallic project comprises the Bitam and Ntem exploration licences, which cover a total area of 2,619km2 in the north-west of Gabon. This early-stage exploration project is located in the Archean North Gabon Massif in north Gabon, where nearby projects include Fortescue's Belinga project.
Genmin continues to refine its local geological mineralisation model for Bitam utilising the results of its 2023 ground truthing surveys and independent prospectivity assessment by RSC Global.
Genmin's proposed work program at Bitam aims to better define and prioritise iron drill targets, and to assess copper-gold prospectivity. The proposed work program includes:
- follow-up project mapping and sampling of selected iron targets; and
- reconnaissance mapping and sampling in geological zones prospective for gold copper mineralisation.
