#Kefi @EthEAG The company said it would not resume development of its Tulu Kapi gold project until a full investigation into a deadly security incident had been completed and measures were in place to protect employees and surrounding communities.

Happy New Year! 🌼🌼🌼 ​May 2019 bring you abundant health, new opportunities, and immense fulfillment in all your personal and professional endeavors. Wishing you and your family a peaceful, productive, and joyful year ahead!

Akobo Minerals – Operational Update for August 2026 ----- August delivered approximately 16 kg of doré gold at an average grade of 26 g/t, making it the Company's second-best production month to date. Cumulative gold production has now reached approximately 158 kg since start-up. The grade achieved is exceptionally high by international underground mining standards and underlines the high-grade nature of the Segele deposit. The combination of high grades and solid operational performance supported strong gold production from the Segele mine. Read more

#KefiMinerals Mining by its very nature requires stability, as exploration, development, and extraction are typically long-term processes that require considerable time and investment. KEFI Minerals reported that it has halted its operations following security incidents. On Friday, 4 September 2026, the project experienced a serious security incident that resulted in multiple fatalities involving security personnel and community members, including one company employee. The company expressed deep sadness over the loss of life and extended its sincere condolences to all those affected.

#GeneralKnowledge Status and Development of Geophysics Applications in Ethiopia ------ Geophysics has a long history in Ethiopia, with seismic and geomagnetic observations beginning in the 1950s. Since the 1960s, its use has gradually expanded into - mineral exploration, - groundwater assessment, - geothermal exploration, - geological mapping, and - regional airborne surveys. These efforts have been supported by government institutions, universities, research organizations, and development partners. In recent years, the private sector has also played an increasingly important role. Local consulting and exploration companies are undertaking ground geophysical surveys for groundwater and mineral exploration, as well as providing geophysical interpretation and integrated geological and geospatial services. At the same time, government institutions and universities continue to contribute through national surveys, research, training, and technical capacity development. The use of geophysics is also becoming more integrated with GIS, Remote Sensing, geochemistry, and drilling. Despite these developments, the application of geophysics in Ethiopia is still below its potential. National coverage remains #uneven, some #datasets are #old or #inaccessible, and there are continuing gaps in equipment, technical capacity, and data management. There is therefore a strong opportunity to strengthen collaboration between government, academia, the private sector, and development partners, while making greater use of modern ground, drone, airborne technologies for - water resources, - mineral exploration, - environmental assessment, - geothermal energy, - engineering, and - geohazard management. @EthEAG

#GeneralKnowledge Geophysical Data Acquisition Technologies / Platforms ------ Geophysical data can be collected using different platforms depending on the purpose, area coverage, accessibility, and level of detail required. - Ground-based: Data are collected directly from the surface using geophysical instruments. This provides detailed information at the local scale. - Drone-based: Geophysical sensors are mounted on drones to collect high-resolution data, particularly in areas that are difficult or unsafe to access. - Airborne: Sensors mounted on aircraft or helicopters can cover large areas efficiently and are commonly used for regional geological and mineral investigations. - Satellite-based: Satellite data provide broad regional to global coverage and are useful for geological, structural, environmental, and other Earth-surface investigations. Together, these platforms allow geophysical investigations to be carried out from detailed site-level surveys to large regional and national-scale assessments. @EthEAG

#GeneralKnowledge Application of Geophysics in Groundwater Quality Assessment ---- Geophysical methods can help assess groundwater quality by identifying changes in the electrical properties of the subsurface. Methods such as electrical resistivity and electromagnetic surveys can be used to detect and map areas that may be affected by #salinity, dissolved #contaminants, or #polluted groundwater. Geophysics does not directly measure water-quality parameters. Instead, it helps identify and delineate potential problem areas, which can then be verified through groundwater sampling and laboratory analysis. @EthEAG

#GeneralKnowledge Application of Geophysics in Water Resources ----- Geophysics provides a cost-effective approach to understanding subsurface water resources. It is widely used to: - identify potential aquifers, - estimate groundwater depth, - map fracture and weathered zones that control groundwater occurrence and movement. - estimate depth to bedrock, - assess groundwater quality, and - support borehole siting. @EthEAG

#GeneralKnowledge Application of Geophysics in Environmental Studies --------- Geophysics provides a non-invasive way to understand subsurface environmental conditions without extensive drilling or excavation. It can be used to identify and map groundwater contamination, mine waste and tailings, buried waste, fractures, cavities, and other subsurface features. In mining areas, geophysical surveys can help assess the extent and movement of contamination and acid mine drainage, as well as support environmental monitoring and remediation planning. By combining geophysics with geology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, and GIS, we can develop a better understanding of environmental risks and their spatial distribution. @EthEAG
