I call this part of my due diligence and is always ongoing.

Intuition is another one of my "due diligence"...

Gold is hosted in high-grade metamorphosed mafic to felsic volcanic and sedimentary rocks of Archaean or Proterozoic Age. Mineralisation is vein-related structurally-controlled mesothermal gold associated with sulphide including pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite. The dominant host rocks are garnet-silica altered amphibolite, with lesser gneiss (bitotie-kyanite-quartz-feldspar).

Recent academic studies (Kabete 2008, age dating) highlight the area as prospective for traditional (but metamorphosed) Achaean orogenic gold deposits within the Sukumaland Corridor, the host to major deposits (i.e. Bulyhulu, Golden Pride, Geita) in the Lake Victoria Goldfields.
