Liberia Gold Discovery
Zodiac Gold Confirms Second 1.8 Kilometer Mineralized Trend at Liberia Project
Anonymous
Zodiac Gold has found a second major gold trend at its Todi Gold Project in Liberia. First trenching results from the Lewis North area hit 52 metres grading 0.71 grams per tonne of gold, including a richer 19-metre zone at 1.51 g/t TheWhig. The discovery runs parallel to an existing mineralized trend, suggesting the project could hold multiple large gold deposits.
The 1.8-kilometre mineralized trend is part of a broader 16-kilometre gold zone called the Monterra Trend. BrantfordExpositor reports that Zodiac Gold is mobilizing a third drill rig to test the discovery, with drilling expected to begin within two weeks. The near-surface mineralization could speed up the path to production.
First Trenching Confirms Broad Gold Zone
The Lewis North trenching work has delivered solid results for an early-stage exploration program. TheCragAndCanyon states that two trenches uncovered 52 metres of continuous gold mineralization. The best zone spans 19 metres at 1.51 g/t gold — a grade that supports economic viability at most gold mines.
Gold deposits at near-surface depth are cheaper to mine. This trenching work proves gold sits close to the ground across a broad area. The grades and widths are encouraging for a first pass. Further drilling will test the depth and continuity of this new trend.
Two Parallel Trends Double Development Potential
The Lewis North trend runs east-west alongside the Lewis South trend, which was previously outlined by soil sampling. TheWhig notes that the parallel alignment suggests a larger mineralized system spanning multiple kilometers. This pattern is typical of major gold camps where mineralization concentrates along fault lines or shear zones.
Both trends sit within the broader 16-kilometre Monterra Trend corridor. Having two separate deposit areas reduces drilling risk. If each trend proves economic, Zodiac Gold could operate two separate mines or develop them as a single district-scale operation.
Drill Campaign Set to Test Depth and Strike Length
Zodiac Gold is moving fast to follow up on these results. TheCragAndCanyon reports that a third drill rig is being mobilized to the Todi project right now. Drilling should start within two weeks, targeting both the depth potential and lateral continuity of the Lewis North and Lewis South trends.
More drill holes will quickly answer key questions: How deep does the mineralization extend? How far along strike does each trend continue? Positive answers could add millions of ounces to the resource estimate and justify advancing toward a feasibility study.
