SAN JOSE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 27, 2022 / Guskin Gold Corp. (OTCQB:GKIN) ("Guskin Gold" or the "Company"), operators of the Tepa Gold Mine located along the eastern-edge of the highly renowned Sefwi-Bibiani Gold Belt, are pleased to announce delivery of all mining and heavy equipment to the property.
As previously announced on February 8, 2022, the Company entered into a Joint Venture and Partnership Agreement with Ensuro Group of Companies Limited ("EGCL") for the exploration, development, exploitation, commercial production, and operations of the Tepa gold project. Per the Joint Venture Agreement EGCL granted Guskin Gold Ghana an exclusive seventy percent (70%) ownership interest in the Tepa 50-acre property for the purpose of commercially producing alluvial gold.
The Company completed an economic feasibility study in February 2022 and concluded Tepa provided a profitable alluvial mining operation. The geologic nature of the Tepa deposit includes both alluvial and eluvial gold deposits. The gold is of fine to medium grain with few flowery and floating types. The distribution of the gold is found in the overlying silty sand as well as the underlying gravel horizons. The overlying silty sands are all part of the payload to be washed and can be processed for gold.
