Crystalline haematite with sulphides within altered host rock at the Mbe prospect
Native sulphur and sulphide rich quartz vein material from Mbe
Highly silicified host material with millimetre to centimetre scale, anastomosing, grey smoky quartz veins and veinlets at Mbe. Rock chip sampling of this material returned ~8 g/t Au.

Outcrop of a~N-S trending, shear-parallel, c.2m wide subvertical quartz vein with abundant sulphides at Mbe
~N-S trending, shear-parallel, c.2m wide subvertical quartz vein with abundant sulphides and locally displaying hydrothermal brecciation textures. Exposed in artisanal mining pits at Mbe
c.2m wide sulphide rich quartz vein exposed in artisanal mining pits. Mafic xenoliths can be observed in the host material which is variably clay altered around this vein at Mbe
Extensional quartz vein interacting with the c.2m wide sulphide rich quartz vein at Mbe. Rock chip sampling of the extensional vein returned 5 g/t Au
