The\nentire 51 km\n \n \n 2\n \n \n was visited by Stellar’s senior consultant geologists and\n11 artisan mine sites were visited, mapped and sampled within the\nPermit area. (See mine sites location figure below)\n \n \n \n \n Namarana artisan mines sites\nlocations map\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n A total of 172 grab samples were taken and sent to SGS\nBamako laboratory for fire assay analysis. Twenty-five (25) samples\nreturned gold grades greater than 0.30 g/t and 13 returned grades\nranging between 1.0 g/t and 5.7 g/t Au primarily in some quartz veins\nrunning roughly north south. The samples were taken from either\nsurface exposures or from below ground inside some of the artisan mine\npits to as deep as 6 metres in quartz vein systems exposed by the\nartisan mining activity.\n \n \n \n \n Mine sites 3,4,5 and 2 were considered priority as they\nall show primary mineralisation in quartz veins, some quartz veins\nstill outcropping while others were observed at depth in artisanal\npits. Although all surface showings and underground quartz veins had\nbeen extensively mined by orpailleurs, all 13 samples grading between\n1.23 and 5.70 g/t Au were taken at those 4 sites.\n \n \n \n \n In 2012, Newmont Mining, in association with Stellar,\nconducted a field reconnaissance and an airborne magnetic survey over\nthe original 132-square-kilometre Namarana permit then owned by\nStellar Pacific Mali SARL, a 100% subsidiary of Stellar. The motives\nand the objectives of this geophysical survey was to assist in the\ninterpretation of the local geology. All the historical data were\nretained by Stellar and are very usef...
