BHK Mining Begins Exploration at Ndjole Manganese/Gold Licence in Gabon

BHK Mining Corp. (TSXV:BHK) announced that it has began exploration work at its 2,000 square kilometer Ndjole manganese/gold project in Gabon.

As quoted in the press release:

The Company utilizes a rapid exploration method, using auger drills combined with a handheld XRF unit for accelerated follow-up and semi-quantitative geochemical analysis of the weathered rock material below manganese soil anomalies. At the time of this report a total of 232 auger holes have been drilled and a total of 991 samples collected (See www.bhkminingcorp.com for location maps).

Analysis with the handheld XRF is currently underway and a total of 534 samples including standards and duplicates have been analyzed to date. Handheld XRF is a method that is used to produce reliable manganese analyses. Pits have been excavated at the site of two of the stronger manganese auger results to expose the mineralization in three dimensions.

The auger drill program is designed to test the weathered rock (saprolite) below scree, ferricrete and laterite, which covers much of the target area. The auger drills are capable of drilling to a depth of approximately 10 metres under favourable conditions. The aim of the rapid auger drill program is to produce bedrock manganese targets for subsequent diamond drilling.
