Tamakay Project

​

Located 15 km west of Toraparu, the Tamakay Project is centred on an area of rich alluvial and saprolite mining, with reports of 1 km long quartz veining in the 1930s and subsequent saprolite mining in the 1950s. The area has seen near constant artisanal mining since its discovery, most recently with small scale open pits and in 2024, an underground operation. At this early stage, the property has all the indicators of a strong paleoproterozoic gold system and the Greenheart exploration team has uniquely demonstrated their ability to define hot-spots, their orientations and volumes, having recently delivered the Oko West project to G.Mining Ventures. 

  

The property is 'Oko West-like', straddling the E-W oriented contact of a granodiorite batholith to the north, and a volcanic package, including mafic volcanics and ultramafics to the south. The volcanic package has been thrust against and over the granodiorite, creating parallel faults and shears with the ultramafic being a key indicator of deep-tapping structures, or plumbing-system to mineralizing fluids, as seen around the world. Initial geologic mapping has also identified an overprinting deformation event, a key feature of Oko West and other deposits in the Guiana Shield. 

  

Despite the presence of reactive host rocks, poly-phase deformation, and widespread mineralization in alluvials and saprolite, no modern exploration has been carried out on the property until the arrival of Greenheart Gold. To date Greenheart has carried out two work programs including reconnaissance soil sampling at 1 km spaced lines and prospecting, and a follow-up soil grid and channel sampling covering the contact zone and south to the property limits following the positive results of the first program.
