Equigold was acquired by Lihir Gold in 2008 and Lihir Gold was subsequently acquired by Newcrest in 2010. The first gold in soil anomalism of the project was however highlighted by Ashanti Goldfields before 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-getwid-advanced-heading has-custom-font-size\" style=\"font-size:16px\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-getwid-advanced-heading__content\" style=\"font-weight:700\">Mankono Location<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mankono Project lies along the western side of the Banfora-Daloa greenstones belt, along the same regional shear system that hosts the Abujar gold project (Tietto minerals) to the south side and the Napi\u00e9 gold project (Mako gold) to the north side; both in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-getwid-advanced-heading has-custom-font-size\" style=\"font-size:16px\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-getwid-advanced-heading__content\" style=\"font-weight:700\">Mankono Geology<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The main gold anomaly highlighted by the work carried out under Newcrest, in the Mankono West permit, lies in the granitic domain, just west of the major regional shears that bound the Birrimian volcano-sediments. Newcrest commissioned a petrographic study on samples collected from the drill core, from which rock types include granites, granitic gneisses and amphibolites, with textures suggesting that the protoliths were granitic intrusives and possible mafic sediments respectively. The gold mineralisation intersected by the drill core occurs within the granitic gneisses associated with pyrite and carbonates.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-column gb-block-layout-column\"><div class=\"gb-block-layout-column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"987\" src=\"https:\/\/wiagold.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mankono-TMI-Soils-290421.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wiagold.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mankono-TMI-Soils-290421.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wiagold.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mankono-TMI-Soils-290421-300x247.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wiagold.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mankono-TMI-Soils-290421-1024x842.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wiagold.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mankono-TMI-Soils-290421-768x632.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"934\" src=\"https:\/\/wiagold.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mankono-TMI-Drilling-290421.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wiagold.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mankono-TMI-Drilling-290421.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wiagold.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mankono-TMI-Drilling-290421-300x234.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wiagold.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mankono-TMI-Drilling-290421-1024x797.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wiagold.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mankono-TMI-Drilling-290421-768x598.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"927\" src=\"https:\/\/wiagold.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/PresMankono_GeologyStreams_202104-1024x927.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wiagold.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/PresMankono_GeologyStreams_202104-1024x927.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wiagold.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/PresMankono_GeologyStreams_202104-300x272.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wiagold.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/PresMankono_GeologyStreams_202104-768x695.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wiagold.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/PresMankono_GeologyStreams_202104-1536x1391.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wiagold.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/PresMankono_GeologyStreams_202104-2048x1854.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<a href=\"#\" class=\"top\">Back to top<\/a>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:80px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":205,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/blocks.php","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Mankono Project &#8226;
