Promising
Exploration results identified
The Manda Resource
Owners Association has initiated what is probably the first landowners
resource prospecting and ownership after Highlands Pacific’s prospecting
license was not renewed. The Manda Landowners Association called in
the local Wemoho Geological and Geotechnical Services which carried
out a review of the exploration data of the Kesar Manda creek prospect.
The Principal geologist
of Wemoho, Mr. Harry Koima said " the review was done to define
prospecting targets for further exploration and economic evaluation
of the gold deposit area at the request of the Manda Resources Owners.
The information and data in the final report would be used to open up
negotiations with interested partners”.
The final 30-page report in its executive summary identified three promising
targets:
- Porphyry Copper-Gold-Molybdenum Target
- Carbonate-Base metal Gold Vein Target
- Skarn Alteration and Gold mineralization Target
The geological review results confirm the Manda peoples long –held
belief and confirmation of samples of rare minerals they have collected
— they believe they are sitting on a lucrative major gold deposit.
We could be sitting on a major lobe and any interested partner will
have to come and negotiate with us to extract it.
The Manda Landowners are now taking on a major media awareness and marketing
campaign to expose their “hidden treasure” and to attract
any interested partners to help them develop the mine. Mt URONE one of the 12 low-lying sprawling mountains that form a natural
wall around the Manda gold and rare-minerals deposit . Out of the mountains
natural creeks of fresh mountain water stream out and meet up in the
MANDA CREEK which then meanders out to form the headwaters of the mighty
Ramu River and rolls out down to the huge Ramu plains and the scenic
coastal township of Madang .
