Kwekwe block 2
A ~358 ha six-corner block near Kwekwe, about 1.8 km north of your first Kwekwe block. The corner order you gave was ambiguous, so the boundary here is the polar-ordered footprint of the six pegs (approximate). This is a where-to-walk assessment on free satellite data, not a claim that gold is present.
The best-ground spots (UTM 35S). Spots 1–6 are the north-west target cluster (purple); spot 7 (amber) is the best of the southern half — a coverage and calibration point at lower confidence, not a co-equal target:
The four checks behind that
Each is scored over the block against the ground immediately around it.
| Check | This block | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Terrain match | 80th percentile | the block is on the kind of terrain known gold mines sit on — its strongest whole-block signal |
| Red-oxide (ferric) | 48th percentile | not iron-stained; and the nearby mines are not iron-stained either, so red-oxide is not a useful guide here |
| Structure / lineaments | 48th percentile | structurally plain ground, not the fractured/sheared kind that often hosts gold |
| Regional P(gold) | 0.254 whole-block, NW corner 0.65–0.70 | the combined estimate; average overall, strong in the NW corner |
Compared to your other blocks
Same estimate, run over each block you've given us:
| Block | P(gold) |
|---|---|
| Belingwe-West | 0.394 |
| Zvishavane | 0.282 |
| Kwekwe block 2 (this), NW corner | 0.65–0.70 |
| Kwekwe block 2 (this), whole block | 0.254 |
| Kwekwe block 1 | 0.129 |
Whole-block, this is middling. Its NW corner is the strongest single patch across all of them.
Data used
- Red-oxide (ferric): Sentinel-2, 10 m pixels
- Structure and terrain: Copernicus GLO-30 elevation, 30 m pixels
- Regional P(gold) estimate: AlphaEarth surface data, 10 m pixels (native)
The P(gold) grid is 10 m (~0.01 ha cells), so it pins the corner to work, but it reads surface geology — it tells you where to look, not where a vein is. The single most useful next step is one rock sample from the NW corner, around 781300 E / 7913700 N (UTM 35S).
