en.Wedoany.com Reported - Centurion Minerals has revealed that field exploration work at the Limestone gold project in Suriname is expected to commence soon. The project is located less than 35 kilometers from the Rosebel gold mine operated by Zijin Mining and approximately 17 kilometers from Zijin's Saramacca mine.
Centurion's geologists are systematically evaluating the project's historical data and regional exploration data from the 1990s to the early 2000s. The Limestone property lies within an area of historical near-surface exploration, where stream sediment and auger sampling were conducted, but drill evaluation was relatively limited. The area also has a long history of small-scale mining, and the resulting outcrop exposures provide an opportunity to accelerate project exploration and aid in the assessment of surrounding prospective target areas.
A planned helicopter survey will help identify recent open-pit mining areas within the saprolite and support the design and implementation of efficient ground evaluations, including auger sampling and trenching. Local miners have established camps that can be utilized by Centurion's geological team. As the current peak rainy season subsides, road access conditions to the project are expected to improve.
Centurion President Dr. Dennis LaPoint stated: "The Limestone gold project is situated in Suriname's fertile gold belt, close to Zijin's producing Rosebel mine complex, and lies within a structural trend known to host large gold deposits. This area has seen virtually no modern exploration. The integration of our team's initial surveys with historical data will rapidly advance the understanding of structural controls and mineralization styles using current exploration technologies. The project's road accessibility and proximity to existing mine infrastructure offer significant logistical advantages."
