Lawson added that the deposit has “grown from a grassroots discovery to a maiden resource of 730,000 oz to an increased resource of 1.78 million oz this year.”
The Makosa deposit represents part of the larger Douta Gold Project, which spans 58 km2 within the Kéniéba inlier in eastern Senegal. Thor Explorations owns a 70% economic stake in the project through its subsidiary African Star Resources, with permit holder International Mining Company SARL retaining 30%.
The most recent results affirm the deposit’s richness, paving the way for additional exploration and development.
