Deposit EL SHAGURA LOCALITY INCLUDES THE PRINCIPLE VEIN OF 15M THICK
Deposit 2700 TONS OF GOLD ORE WERE OBTAINED DURING 1951-1952, THE LODE WAS NOT FULLY EXPLORED. ORE RESERVES, 5198 TONS, AVERAGE THICKNESS 27.1 CM, AVERAGE GOLD CONTENT 26.79 GR/T, FREE GOLD RESERVES 140.012 GR/T. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO CARRY OUT SOME REVISION WORK AT THE DEPOSIT. IT SHOULD BE REGARDED AS A MATTER OF FIRST PRIORITY. ; INFO.SRC : 3 FIELD OBSERV; 1 PUB LIT
