  • The Geology of the Gold Deposits of Prestea Gold Belt of Ghana*
    The Geology of the Gold Deposits of Prestea Gold Belt of Ghana* K. Dzigbodi-Adjimah and D. Nana Asamoah Dzigbodi-Adjimah, K. and Nana Asamoah, D., (2009), “The Geology of the Gold Deposits of Prestea Gold Belt of Ghana”, Ghana Mining Journal, Vol. 11, pp. 7 - 18. Abstract This paper presents the geology of the gold deposits along the Prestea gold belt of Ghana to assist exploration work for new orebodies along the belt. Prestea district is the third largest gold producer in West Africa after Obuasi and Tarkwa districts (over 250 metric tonnes Au during the last century). The gold deposits are structurally controlled and occur in a deep-seated fault or fissure zone that is regarded as the ore channel. This structure, which lies at the contact between metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks in Birimian rocks, is more open (and contains more quartz lodes) at the southern end around Prestea than at Bogoso to the north. The gold deposits consist of the Quartz Vein Type, (QVT) and the Dis- seminated Sulphide Type (DST). The QVT orebodies, which generally carry higher Au grades, lie within a graphitic gouge in the fissure zones whilst the DST is found mostly in sheared or crushed rocks near the fissure zones. Deposits were grouped into three in terms of geographic location and state of development; The deposits south of Prestea are the least developed but have been extensively explored by Takoradi Gold Company. Those at Prestea have been worked exclusively as underground mines on QVT orebodies by Prestea Goldfields Limited and its forerunners; Ariston and Ghana Main Reef companies until 1998 whilst the deposits north of Prestea, which were first worked as surface mines (on DST orebodies) by Marlu Mines up to 1952, were revived by Billiton Bogoso Gold in 1990.

In the preparation of the Report, CJM has utilised information relating to operational methods and expectations provided to them by various sources. Where possible, CJM has verified this information from independent sources after making due enquiry of all material issues that are required in order to comply with the requirements of the NI 43-101 and SAMREC Reporting Codes. OPERATIONAL RISKS The business of mining and mineral exploration, development and production by their nature contain significant operational risks. The business depends upon, amongst other things, successful prospecting programmes and competent management. Profitability and asset values can be affected by unforeseen changes in operating circumstances and technical issues. POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC RISK Factors such as political and industrial disruption, currency fluctuation and interest rates could have an impact on future operations, and potential revenue streams can also be affected by these factors. The majority of these factors are, and will be, beyond the control of any operating entity.

    INVESTIGATING GOLD MINERALIZATION POTENTIALS IN PART OF THE KIBI-WINNEBA BELT OF GHANA USING AIRBORNE MAGNETIC AND RADIOMETRIC DATA By CHRISTOPHER AKULGA, BSc Applied Physics (Hons) A Thesis Submitted to the Department of Physics, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY (GEOPHYSICS) College of Science Supervisor: Dr. K. Preko ©Department of Physics JUNE, 2013 Certification I hereby certify that this thesis work is my own work as part of the requirements for the award of a Master of philosophy degree, and that it contains no material previously published by another person or material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree by the university, except where due acknowledgement has been made in the text. …………………… …………… ………………. Student name & ID Signature Date Certified by: …………………… …………… ………………. Supervisor(s) Name Signature Date Certified by: …………………… …………… ………………. Head of Dept. Name Signature Date ii Abstract Gold is an important resource located within the subsurface, and its mineralization is controlled by geology, structures and hydrothermal alteration within rock formations. The search for gold is therefore the search for structures within hydrothermally altered zones in the subsurface. For this reason two geophysical surveys namely airborne magnetic and radiometric, proven to be excellent in mapping structures, geology and hydrothermally altered zones were employed in the Birimian formation in the Eastern region of Ghana. The airborne magnetic and radiometric data obtained were processed into grids with Geosoft. Data enhancement filters such as reduction to the pole, vertical integral, analytical signal, first and second vertical derivatives and continuation filters were applied to the total magnetic intensity grid to enhance anomalies.

The petrographic analysis has revealed that the sandstones are quartz-rich and were primarily derived from granitic and metamorphic base- ment rocks typical of a craton interior. The major and trace element compositions are comparable to average Proterozoic cratonic sand- stones but with slight enrichment in high-field strength elements (i.e., Zr, Hf, Ta, Nb) and slight depletion in ferromagnesian elements (e.g., Cr, Ni, V) with exception of Co which is unusually enriched in the sandstones. The geochemical data suggest that the Buem sand- stones are dominated by mature, cratonic detritus deposited on a passive margin. Elemental ratios critical of provenance (La/Sc, Th/Sc, Cr/Th, Eu/Eu*, La/Lu) are similar to sediments derived from weathering of mostly felsic and not mafic rocks.
