Amigo Resources PLC – focused on gold and rare earth mining opportunities in Africa, particularly in Tanzania and Mauritania – Reports from its exploration program at the Mojimoto project in Tanzania. This program included the deployment of micro-seismic survey techniques combined with AI-assisted subsurface modeling; systematic geochemical soil sampling and multi-material analysis; work to strengthen and confirm the location of all identified anomalies. It says it has defined nine mining license areas in Mojimoto following the finalized plan. Additionally, multi-element geochemical analysis indicates unusual gold responses throughout the project area. He says this is “supported by elevated pathfinder signatures associated with conventionally controlled gold systems in the Lake Victoria goldfield.” Finally, preliminary sampling of residue and pre-worked material from nearby artisanal mining operations confirms the presence of residual gold values. This shows “possibilities for both primary exploration and re-handling of historical materials,” Amigo said. A subsidiary of Afri Core Resources Ltd is beginning discussions with the owners of the identified PMLs and is advancing formal agreements to support further exploration and development. Elsewhere, mineral licenses related to its Kabete gold project have now been officially granted. This enables ground operations and inspections to begin.
