The permits also include favourable geology from the Boromo Greenstone belt, which is also host to the Perkoa zinc project and other gold operations in Burkina Faso.

Blackthron Resources has planned an exploration programme in these areas in search of additional base metals or silver / gold mineralisation.

The exploration model will be based on volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) style of mineralisation, to assume the typical characteristic that VMS style deposits generally occur in groups or clusters.
