The Alto Sobrido property covers na area of 15.192 km² and its southern border is located within 3 kilometres of the last producing coal mine in Portugal. The Gremude Mine is situated in the Pejão Coalfield which started production in 1886. Toward the end of its’ life the Gremude mine it is reported to have produced 200,000 tonnes per year of anthracite coal before its closure in 1994. In addition the northern border of the Alto Sobrido property is within 1.0 kilometre of a series of small open cast pits that were mined for coal in the 1960’s.

A band of Carboniferous rocks containing the above mention coal deposits, transect the property from south east to north west. They consist of a basal breccia overlain by a complex system of coal beds, intercalated by conglomerates, sandstones and schists. Locally the beds are well folded. Regionally the system trends to 140º east and dips between 60º and 90º towards the north east. The Carboniferous complex strikes across the Alto Sobrido concession for a distance of approximately 5.0 kilometers. Preliminary reconnaissance mapping has identified a vertical 0.60 meter wide coal seam near surface on the Alto Sobrido in addition other limited historic workings for coal have been identified within the project area.

On receipt of final documentation Kernow intends to conduct a program of surface mapping, sampling and drilling if justified.

Antimony / Gold
Kernow has also recently completed na underground sampling campaign along na adit at the Ribera de Serra prospect for gold and antimony mineralization along a strike length of approximately 40 meters. The Ribera de Serra workings located on the Alto Sobrido property, were last worked at the turn of the 20th century related to the production of antimony and gold. Assay results will be reported when received.

About Kernow
Kernow is a gold explorer based in Porto, Portugal, with a portfolio of prospective gold and antimony/gold projects including the Jales/Gralheira project (49% Kernow), the Boticas project (100% Kernow) and the Alto Sobrido project (100% Kernow).

Kernows’ ongoing focus will be on its Portuguese properties. Portugal is a European Union country with stable politics, a skilled labor force and excellent infrastructure. This infrastructure includes some of Europe’s newest highways, abundant power and existing rail and port facilities. All of Kernows’ properties are close to roads, power and water supplies.
