Location

LEFA is located approximately 700 km by road northeast of Conakry, the capital of Guinea. The main concession, governed by the Convention de Base, covers approximately 1,600 km² and is known as the “Dinguiraye Concession”. We also has a further six contiguous properties over which Crew has rights derived from six prospecting permits not governed by the Convention de Base. With these six other properties the total project area is approximately 2,550 km².

Geological database development

During the second half of 2009, a team of geologists was trained on site at LEFA in the use of GIS software (MapInfo, Google Earth), the handling of GPS field devices and the production of digital maps. This project has provided management with a high-quality and comprehensive exploration database from the huge amounts of data collected over the last ten years.

Under expatriate supervision, the specialized geologists created a detailed road/village map for the LEFA tenements and integrated relevant data in a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) database. This database will be invaluable in generating Crew’s exploration targets for 2010.
