Desert Gold's acquisition of Ashanti increases the Company's land position along and near the Senegal Mali Shear Zone and Main
Transcurrent Fault Zone by 28% to 296.9 km2.
The regionally significant Main
Transcurrent Shear Zone appears to change its strike direction from NNE to NNW, and exploration work completed by Cradle Arc and confirmed by Randgold identified numerous high-grade gold targets coincident with this change of the MTZ.
(ii) The central domain corresponds to a large NE-striking
transcurrent fault zone, including the Adamaoua and Tibati Banyo faults to the north and the SF to the south.

of identifying characteristic forms of terrain motions, such as the compressive, extensive or
transcurrent ones.
The contact between the steeply dipping conglomerate of the Silurian Oak Bay Formation at the base of the Mascarene Group and Cambrian-Ordovician sedimentary rocks of the Cookson Group is generally marked by the Sawyer Brook Fault, along which considerable
transcurrent movement has occurred (Park et al.
Mid-oceanic ridges are composed of spreading segments, offset by fracture zones with
transcurrent motion, and Jan Mayen is located near such a fracture zone.
