Gold occurs in native form, commonly associated with pyrite and pyrrhotite, and is structurally focused within fractures following the bedding of Banded Iron Formation (BIF) units. Importantly, more recent geological reinterpretation indicates that mineralization may persist along strike from BIF into adjacent pyroclastic volcanic sequences—opening new exploration vectors beyond historically targeted horizons.This evolving structural–lithological model significantly expands the prospective footprint of the Matango–Kerende corridor, supporting a modern exploration strategy focused on:
