Canyon Resources hopes to mine DSO bauxite in Birsok

1MINS READ
Canyon Resources Ltd plans to produce bauxite in the Birsok project which involves two permits for a surface area that spans 1,460 km2 in Cameroon.

The last set of samples collected during the reconnaissance drilling on Baoua, a 700 by 350 metre plateau yielded “the best results” of the drilling programme carried out on 19 plateaus in 4 prospecting zones.

Boua revealed deposits “with 44% aluminium oxide (Al203) and 8.9% silicium dioxide (Si02) with mineralisation at a depth of 6 metres on average,” announced Canyon Resources.

According to Phillip Gallagher, Managing Director of Canyon Resources, the high levels of aluminium oxide and low amounts of silicium dioxide show the company’s potential for finding DSO (Direct Shipping Ore) bauxite.

These deposits have characteristics similar to those found at Minim Martap, one of the largest undeveloped bauxite sites in the world, located in northern Cameroon in the Adamaoua region) which connects to the Birsok project.

The ASX listed company interrupted reconnaissance drilling due to rain and plans to resume no later than October with the hope of starting drilling on priority targets identified during the first phase.
