Dr Francois Ouedraogo joins Newgenco as Regional Consultant for West Africa

Dr Francois Ouedraogo has joined Newgenco as Regional Consultant for its group companies operating in the West Africa region. Dr Ouedraogo brings an un-paralleled knowledge of the regional geology and its mineral systems to the Newgenco base metal exploration teams.

Francois is an exploration geologist with 25 years experience in the Birimian (Early Proterozoic ) greenstone belts of West Africa.  He holds a PhD in metallogeny and structural geology from the University of Orleans, France.

Dr Ouedraogo was the team leader of the UNDP Project which focused on the search for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization in southern and central Burkina Faso. He is the co-author of “West African Gold Deposits in their Proterozoic Lithostructural Setting” and the “West African Mineral Map”. He was also in charge of preparation of the Burkina Faso country wide geology mapping and airbore magnetic and radiometry coverage project funded by European Union SYSMIN facilities and has been involved in four gold discoveries in Burkina Faso.

He has held numerous senior and executive roles with BUMIGEB (Bureau des Mines et de la Géologie du Burkina), the UNDP, WMC Resources , Resolute Ltd and Goldbelt Resources.  He was a co-founder of ASX-listed Ampella Mining and has previously held roles as VP – Exploration and more recently Senior VP – Corporate Africa.



Professional education for the West African mineral resources sector

Newgenco’s service alliance partner in Burkina Faso, TTG (TENG – TUUMA GEOSERVICES), successfully organised the first SGA-SEG-UNESCO-IUGS course on African Metallogeny. Titled “Precious and Not-so-precious Metals in Old Cratons”. the course was held at at TTG’s dedicated training and education facility in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso from 12 to 18 March 2012.

The course was opened by the Le Ministre des Mines, des Carrières et de l’Energie M. Lassané SAVADOGO and received very significant coverage in both the print and television media.

Course presenters were all internationally recognized experts, including Newgenco Director, Peter Williams.

TTG’s Managing Director, Dr Francois Ouedraogo, is Regional Consultant for the Newgenco group companies operating in West Africa.



We are moving

At the start of May 2012, Newgenco will be moving  a couple of blocks down the street to a new office at:

Suite 2, 12-20 Railway Road, Subiaco WA 6014 AUSTRALIA.

Details, including new phone-fax numbers, will be updated on the website at the time of the move.



Q4 2011 update: First Quantum Ni-Cu-PGE alliance in Finland

As at the end of Q4 2011, Newgenco Exploration (Fennoscandia) Pty Ltd’s Alliance and Joint Ventures in Finland with First Quantum Minerals reports that:

A program of target generation around Kevitsa and elsewhere in Finland has been in progress since 2009. The primary target of this program is high grade ‘massive sulphide’ Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization. The prospectivity of the Kevitsa district for this type of deposit was re-enforced recently by the announcement of a significant discovery by Anglo American at ‘Sakatti’, less than 20km south of Kevitsa. During 2011 several hundred targets were followed up with field reconnaissance, geochemistry and geophysics with many anomalous areas selected for ‘base of till’ drilling. Several targets are currently being followed up with diamond core drilling.



Q3 2011 update: First Quantum Ni-Cu-PGE alliance in Finland

As at the end of Q3 2011, Newgenco Exploration (Fennoscandia) Pty Ltd’s Alliance and Joint Ventures in Finland with First Quantum Minerals reports that:

To the north of Kevitsa several high priority nickel, copper, platinum group elements targets await environmental approval for drilling and should be drilled once the ground freezes.

The Alliance continues to field investigate regional targets within Finland.

 



Q2 2011 update: First Quantum Ni-Cu-PGE alliance in Finland

As at the end of Q2 2011, Newgenco Exploration (Fennoscandia) Pty Ltd’s Alliance and Joint Ventures in Finland with First Quantum Minerals reports that:

Drilling continues on regional targets to the north of Kevitsa.

The Alliance continues to field investigate regional targets within Finland.



Q1 2011 update: First Quantum Ni-Cu-PGE alliance in Finland

As at the end of Q1 2011, Newgenco Exploration (Fennoscandia) Pty Ltd’s Alliance and Joint Ventures in Finland with First Quantum Minerals report:

Regional exploration in the area north of Kevitsa is returning encouraging results. Twenty-two geophysical targets have been tested by base of till drilling in 2,400 shallow holes. Several Cu-Ni-PGE anomalies coincident with magnetic features are highlighted. Three targets are currently being tested by diamond core drilling with seven holes completed. Disseminated and net textured magmatic Cu-Ni sulphides have been reported in several holes.

Regional reconnaissance exploration continues.



2010 update: North America Ni-Cu projects

Newgenco’s alliance partner in North America, MMG, reports that:

Field mapping programs were completed at the Ontario nickel-copper (JV) projects during 2010

Exploration continues into 2011.



Q4 2010 update: First Quantum Ni-Cu-PGE alliance in Finland

As at the end of Q3 2010, Newgenco Exploration (Fennoscandia) Pty Ltd’s Alliance and Joint Ventures in Finland with First Quantum Minerals report:

The regional drilling program in Finland moved into a target testing phase with eight prospects in the Kevitsa North project tested by shallow base-of-till drilling. Initial geochemistry results are encouraging and two targets are currently subject to follow up core drilling.

Regional reconnaissance exploration continues.
