The company has completed an airborne magnetics geophysical survey over the Zaranou gold license in the south-east of the country and is now using drones to survey the terrain to help it hone in on drill targets.
Separately, IronRidge has started a 3,000-hole auger geochemical drilling programme over geophysical anomalies in the Vavoua gold portfolio, which it acquired in June, in the central-west of the country, along strike from the 1.73 million oz Abujar resource.
The company has started a regional geochemical soil sampling programme over the Kineta west license area in the north-east of the country; along the same structure that hosts Centamin's Konkera resource and Azumah Resources' Wa-Lawra resource.
