[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n6 May 2025BWA Group PLC(\"BWA\", or the \"Company\") (AQSE: BWAP)Exploration Results for the Dehane 1 Heavy Mineral Sands Project, Cameroon BWA Group plc [AQSE: BWAP] which has mineral exploration permits in Cameroon and mining claims in Canada, and is quoted on London's AQSE Growth Market, provides results from its recently completed shallow exploration auger drilling programme at its 90% owned, through BWA Resources (UK) Ltd (\"BWAR\"), Dehane 1 heavy mineral sands permit, located in the South Region of Central Cameroon (\"Dehane 1\", \"D1\" or the \"Dehane Project\").The Dehane 1 Project is located 166 km southwest of Yaoundé, and 70 km from the deep seaport and industrial zone of Kribi. The D1 permit covers an area of 132 km2 and includes approximately 20 km of strike length of the Nyong river system, an area known to be prospective for Ilmenite, Rutile, Zircon, and Kyanite heavy mineral sand (HMS) mineralisation. The sampling programme comprised of 30 drillholes for a total of 225.0 metres and 78 primary samples. This follows on from a first pass reconnaissance programme of 11 pit and 29 hand auger holes reported on 13 July 2021 which confirmed the area contains anomalous titanium (Ilmenite-Rutile), zirconium (Zircon) and aluminium (Kyanite) with samples reporting up to 2.61% TiO2, 29.0% Al2O3 and 0.26% Zr (13 July 2021).The programme targeted the northern area of the licence, which has been identified as an area of alluvial HMS mineralisation related to the extensive Nyong river system and associated floodplains. The objective of the programme was to test the complete alluvial profile from surface to basement and interpreted prospective basal gravel horizons. Due to challenging drilling conditions, this objective was not satisfactorily accomplished and will be re-visited with suitably adapted drilling methods to enable deeper drilling. Despite this, BWA are happy that HMS have been intercepted in the area to show mineralisation exists. Further systematic and deeper drilling will be undertaken to test the target and delineate a potential resource.An enhanced version of this announcement, including figures, maps and tables can be viewed on the link below.HighlightsBWA is pleased to announce positive highlights of heavy mineral separation studies and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses on 78 primary samples fro...
