    The letter requests information to support Antonio Kumoleha's PhD thesis on developing new methodologies for sustainable alluvial gold exploration at the Chipindo-Huila mine in Angola. Specifically, it requests: - More detailed geological maps of the study area - Topographic maps if available - Geochemical maps from regional surveys - Information on the catchments of the Cunene and Cuengue rivers - Stream sediment and formation samples from the area that can be collected and analyzed - Georeferenced information for a GIS project on the available data

    Dear Dr. Digbygold.

    I am currently supervising António Kumoleha in his PhD work on "Development of


    new methodologies for sustainable alluvial gold exploration: the case of the Chipindo-
    Huila mine, Angola". For António’s PhD, it would be essential to have as much
    information as possible on the deposit, which is critical to achieving the proposed goals.
    One of the objectives is to characterize the alluvial gold deposit (the Cunene formation)
    at the Chipindo mine using geological, geochemical and mineralogical methods. Hence,
    we kindly request the following information:

    - The geology of the study area (geological map); we have a map from Lafech Mining
    Resources, Lda (2017) but, it would be excellent to have something with more detail;
    the understanding of the local geology and the spatial relationships between the primary
    and secondary deposits is currently our main difficulty;

    - Topographic maps, if available;

    - Geochemical maps (stream sediments, soil) from regional surveys, if available;

    - The catchments of the Cunene and Cuengue rivers.

    - Stream sediments from the Cunene river and samples from the Cunene (and Cuenge, if
    possible) formations; it would be interesting to study 2 or 3 vertical profiles along the
    alluvium to document the mineralogical and geochemical changes; António is available
    to travel to Angola, collect the samples and bring them to Portugal;

    We intend to produce a GIS project, gathering all the available information. Therefore,
    georeferenced information available would be quite welcome.
    We appreciate all the support given to Antonio so far, as well as your willingness to
    help us in this early stage of the thesis. We sincerely hope to be able to reciprocate in
    the near future.

    Thank you very much

    Best regards
