Senegal Mali Shear Zone Project

Desert Gold’s Senegal Mali Shear Zone (SMSZ) Project spans approximately 440 km² across western Mali, strategically positioned along the prolific Senegal Mali Shear Zone which hosts several multi-million ounce gold mines including Fekola, Gounkoto, and Loulo.

The property has demonstrated significant exploration potential with multiple high-grade gold zones identified through drilling programs, including notable intercepts at the Gourbassi East and West zones as well as the Barani East discovery.

Extensive systematic exploration work including geochemical sampling, geophysical surveys, and over 95,000 meters of drilling has outlined numerous prospective gold targets across the large land package, with many remaining untested.

The project benefits from excellent infrastructure including paved highway access, proximity to power and water sources, and is situated in a mining-friendly jurisdiction with an established framework for mineral development.

 

 

 

Our Project

Desert Gold’s flagship 440km2 SMSZ Project is located in the country of Mali and overlies a 38 km section of West Africa’s prolific Senegal Mali Shear Zone which is related to 4 tier one gold mines including B2 Gold’s Fekola Mine, Barrick’s Gounkoto and Loulo Mines and Allied Gold’s Sadiola and Yatela Mines.

At 440km2 the Company’s SMSZ Project is one of the largest gold exploration projects in Western Africa. With 20+ open gold zones discovered to date that require follow up and numerous targets yet to be tested, the SMSZ Project has the potential for the discovery of a major gold deposit(s) consistent with the region’s tier 1 gold mines.
