Falea Project (150kmē)

  • Falea covers 150 kmē of the Falea-North Guinea-Senegal basin (FGS), a Neoproterozoic sedimentary basin marked by significant radiometric anomalies.
  • Between 1977 and 1981, Cogema conducted mapping and geochemistry in the Falea area culminating in a program of 81 vertical diamond drill holes totalling approximately 24,000m at 800x800m and 200x200m spacing, and 5 inclined diamond drill holes totalling 630m.
  • Copper and uranium mineralization is associated with stromatolites in sandstones and shales within the Falea Basin.
  • In 1981, Cogema dropped the Falea ground due to depressed metal prices.
