About the INAL Project: Gold and Lithium potential
The INAL project is situated within the Aoueouat Greenstone Belt of North West Mauritania (see maps at: https://www.deepsouthresources.com/projects/inal-property/). The project comprises two exploration licenses covering an area of 441 square kilometres located some 45 kilometres North East along trend from Kinross’s Tasiast gold deposit, and is adjacent to Kinross’s N’Daouas-Est and Algold’s Legouessi exploration licenses. The project covers prime granite greenstone belt terrain and host a number of geological structures extending from the Kinross licenses through, and onto, the INAL licenses. These structures, including a banded iron formation that hosts the Tasiast deposit, have the potential to host gold mineralization.
Furthermore, the INAL project also hosts a number of pegmatite bodies with confirmed spodumene and lepidolite mineralization. The pegmatite bodies have been identified by intermittence over a length of at least 40 km and a width of over 10 km, and represent very prospective targets for lithium mineralization.
North Western Mauritania is underlain by the South Western portion of the Reguibat Shield, which forms part of the West African Craton. The Reguibat Shield host Archaean age Greenstone Belts that bear many similarities to other Archaean age Greenstone Belts of the West African Craton, most notably in Ghana, Burkina Faso, Mali and others, which all host multi-million ounce gold deposits.
