On June 13, AIM-listed
UK-based miner Sable
Mining Africa announced that it has acquired a 60 percent interest in Salmec Resources, holder of the 531.9 square km Kpo range (MEL 12001) exploration concession in the Kpo mountain range in the Gbarpolu and Lofa counties of western
Liberia. The project, which has an identified strike of approximately 60km, is contiguous to Sable
Mining Africa's Bopulu reconnaissance licence which is also in the Kenema-Man domain on the West African Shield in
Liberia.
The Kenema-Man domain is a well-known
iron ore province which is being explored by
mining majors including
BHP Billiton, Arcelor Mittal,
Severstal and BSG Resources.
A detailed geological exploration program is being finalized in the project, including drilling, which will investigate the potential of these targets testing the iron content of the anomalies.
