Exploration Status
Romdul Project
Romdul EL – SAU 100%
The Romdul EL covers an area of 180 sq. km’s, and is also located in the Kratie Province of Eastern Cambodia.
The project consists of at least three dioritic bodies intruding into Khorat Basin Sediments, which in the Romdul EL are dominated by siltstones, with lesser sandstones and limestones recognised. Epithermal textures of some quartz, along with the presence of stibnite suggest some veins formed in the epithermal environment, highlighting the potential for high grade epithermal gold mineralisation.
The epithermal environment and carbonates in the host stratigraphy also suggest the possibility of Carlin style carbonate replacement mineralisation.
SGC is using an Intrusive Related Gold (IRG) and base metals model for exploration. Therefore the intrusives and associated hornfels alteration halos are SGC primary target areas. The recent aeromagnetic survey has identified 2 previously unknown magnetic intrusive bodies within the Romdul EL. The 1st VD Aeromagnetic Image below clearly shows three magnetic intrusive bodies.
These intrusives as well as small areas of artisanal workings were targeted with soil sampling programs totalling 2030 samples.
