Hamida

Hamida prospect is one of the principal gold occurrences within the AFAQ Mining West Elbah Concession in the south-eastern desert of Egypt, Hamida forms part of a large mineralised corridor hosted within the Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS), one of the world’s most prospective Precambrian gold provinces.

The prospect is located within a structurally controlled belt of deformation, hydrothermal alteration, and gold mineralisation extending for more than 30 km along strike across the West Elbah concession area. Hamida represents one of the most compelling early-stage exploration targets in the concession due to the scale of alteration, widespread mineralisation indicators, and strong geological similarities to producing orogenic gold systems elsewhere in the Egyptian Eastern Desert and northern Sudan.

Hamida Location and Accessibility

The Hamida occurrence benefits from favourable logistics and accessibility compared with many frontier exploration projects in the Arabian-Nubian Shield.

Hamida Historical Mining Activity

Like many areas in the Eastern Desert, Hamida lies within a region that experienced historic gold exploitation dating back to Pharaonic times.

The broader West Elbah district contains numerous ancient workings and historic production sites,These historic workings provide strong evidence that ancient miners successfully identified gold-bearing structures across the district.
