Davenport Resources has recently announced estimation of an Exploration Target on its Nohra-Elende potash project in central Germany. The Exploration Target, covering an area of approximately 13.9 km2 contains between 66 and 117 million tonnes of K2O and lies between two areas of Inferred Potash Resources, both held by Davenport.
The mineral resource estimation and geological modelling for the Nohra-Elende was conducted in Micromine 2018, the market leading software solution for geological modelling.
The database used to create the geological model and mineral resource estimate was created from the manual data entry of hard copy historical drill hole logs and exploration records.
The drill hole database was imported into Micromine 2018 and validated, where no mistakes in the database were identified. Once imported into Micromine 2018, geological interpretation was carried out in 2-D cross-sections and 3-D downhole plots of lithology and grade. This process confirmed the correlating relationship between the drill hole logs and the geophysical logging as well as the stratigraphic-hosted nature of the potash mineralisation.
Davenport will now conduct an economic study using the data and geological models observed in Micromine 2018.
