Ongwe Minerals Commences Drilling Programme at Nguni Gold Prospect
Ongwe Minerals has initiated its first drilling programme at the Nguni gold prospect, part of the Omatjete Gold Project in Namibia. The company mobilized two drill rigs to explore a significant gold-in-soil anomaly stretching over 6km, identified through soil sampling campaigns conducted earlier this year. The initial phase involves an 18-hole diamond drilling plan covering 3,500m targeting high-grade portions of the prospect. A subsequent reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaign is planned to test for strike extensions with a further 1,500m across 13 holes. The CEO highlighted that soil sampling revealed over 50 samples above 300ppb gold, peaking at 1,310ppb. Ongwe also continues its exploration efforts at the Manga prospect through step-out diamond drilling and calcrete sampling to assess mineral continuity beneath cover material.
