LONDON - BWA Group PLC (AQSE:BWAP) announced Thursday the results of its preliminary reconnaissance exploration program at the Dehane 3 heavy mineral sands project in Cameroon’s South Region.
The exploration program, conducted in the first quarter of 2025, included 45 holes with a total drilled depth of 57.60 meters across approximately 20 square kilometers of the 244 square kilometer permit area. The company collected 73 primary samples using mechanical drilling, hand-operated augers, and surface grab samples.
According to the press release, heavy mineral sands (HMS) mineralization was observed in all holes, with total heavy mineral (THM) content ranging from 1.03% to 5.48%. Significant intercepts included 3.5 meters at 2.9% THM, 4.0 meters at 3.6% THM, and 2.5 meters at 3.9% THM, all starting from surface.
The Dehane 3 project is located approximately 140 kilometers southwest of Yaoundé and 80 kilometers from the deep seaport of Kribi. It includes about 30 kilometers of strike length along the Nyong and Kelle River systems.
Jonathan Wearing, Chairman of BWA Group, stated that the exploration showed HMS is "continuous regionally throughout the licences, and from surface." The company plans to use these results to design a more methodical exploration program.
The exploration work included employing local community members to reopen old logging tracks and build canoes for river transport during the program.
BWA Group holds mineral exploration permits in Cameroon and mining claims in Canada. The technical information in the announcement was reviewed by qualified persons in accordance with JORC (2012) reporting code standards.
