The Yaramoko Project consists of a single permit, in the Houndé greenstone belt in the western part of the country. It is located directly south of Semafo's Mana Gold Mine, which is set to enter production in early 2008. The company has defined an 8 km long deformation zone on Yaramoko which appears to be the continuation of the mineralized zones at Mana. It contains at least 12 artisanal gold mining sites, and sampling by the company has returned some very high gold values. A 2,000 m RC drilling program was underway at Yaramoko in November 2007 and assays are pending.
The Yaramoko permit is 224 square km in size, and like Ligidi, it too contains Tarkwaiian sedimentary rocks. Work by Riverstone since late in 2005 has concentrated on soil sampling, geological mapping and rock sampling. The soil sampling has outlined a 3.5 km long by 500 m wide gold-in-soils geochemical. Rock samples taken from throughout the permit have returned significant results, including 16 samples with gold values ranging from 1.0 to 11.9 g/t. Some of the better results are listed in the attached table.
