Nampala was the first target discovered on Mininko. Geochemical-soil sampling, ground geophysics (IP) and drilling in 2004-2005, revealed Nampala’s gold potential.
Following are some of the results:

These encouraging results have motivated Robex to carry out a new drilling program in the fall 2006. The goal for this program
was to test the Nampala target, first identified by a previous drilling
program, and to verify gold mineralization in the tonalite formation. The following table summarizes the best intersections from this program.
