Kenya Gold Project

Spirit Mining LLC, a Michigan-based exploration, development, and mining company, is advancing gold projects in southwestern Kenya through its subsidiaries, Spirit Mining Kenya Ltd. and Krygoski Mining Ltd. Operating in the Migori Greenstone Belt, an extension of the gold-rich Tanzanian Archean craton, the company is developing the Atieli Gold Project, which is progressing toward production, and the Rongo Gold Project, which will support regional processing operations. Spirit Mining also holds district-scale greenfield exploration licenses, targeting new discoveries in this prolific gold-producing region. Nearby world-class deposits, including Barrick Gold / Acacia Mining’s Mara North Mine, have produced an estimated 8+ million ounces to date. With a focus on sustainable development and responsible mining, Spirit Mining is positioned as a key player in East Africa’s growing gold sector.

Mining by Exploration

Spirit Mining’s greenfield prospecting licenses cover highly prospective but largely unexplored terrain within the Migori Greenstone Belt. Numerous high-grade surface anomalies, supported by geophysical surveys, indicate significant gold potential, yet many of these targets remain untested. Initial diamond drilling has intersected anomalous to ore-grade mineralization, and we are now moving forward with step-out drilling and systematic exploration to assess continuity and expand known mineralized zones.


By employing a mining by exploration strategy, Spirit Mining integrates real-time geological data with ongoing mining activities to fund and refine exploration efforts, ensuring that discoveries translate directly into development. The Atieli Gold Project, supplemented by ore from the Rongo Gold Project, will provide the foundation for continued exploration, enabling sustained drilling, surface sampling, and trenching across high-priority targets. Areas where geophysical trends align with gold occurrences will be further evaluated to refine existing deposits and identify new discoveries. Given the widespread artisanal workings and high-grade surface samples, we anticipate that gold mineralization extends across the license areas, and our strategy is designed to unlock new ore bodies while expanding and optimizing existing resources.

Historical Highlights

Past sampling of surficial occurrences across the license area has produced hundreds of anomalous Au results from single ppm levels to 10’s and greater ppm, and these occurrences suggest widespread Au mineralization across the entire license area.

Diamond drilling in 2004 by EAPG, and limited follow up drilling by the Linear/Stockport JV under artisanal workings on the 214 license as well as the 258 license produced multiple high grade intercepts in underlying quartz vein systems, and breccia zones in sheared volcanics. Most of the drilling in both areas was wide spaced, with no follow up drilling along strike or down dip, and many intercepts remain open for expansion. Additionally, numerous anomalous surface samples remain untested in the drilled areas and across the entire license area

In addition to drilling and surface sampling, previous operators have completed ground and airborne geophysical surveys over significant portions of the license area. Induced polarization, resistivity, and magnetics have been completed over prospective lithologies and structural trends, as well as areas of artisanal workings and anomalous surface samples.
