This drilling forms part of a larger multifaceted drilling campai gn designed to test for shallow gold mineralisation adjacent to previously def ined high grade gold zones in the Ntiola District.
HIGHLIGHTS
• Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling commenced at Massigui Project
• Initial RC program to comprise 1,600 metres of drilling to test depth extensions of recent ore-grade drill intersections at Viper Prospect
• First phase of AC drilling completed. Assay results due mid- November
• AC drill rig standing by on site in readiness for immediate follow up drilling at new priority target areas
• High impact, multifaceted, explora tion program will continue to systematically identify and test high quality targets
The RC drilling will test for vertical extens ions to mineralised gold zones at Viper Prospect (Figure 1), where wide spaced aircore (AC) dr ill traverses have returned multiple shallow ore-grade intersections over significant down-hole widths. Highlights from the AC drilling included;
• 15m @ 3.45 g/t Au from 4m (incl. 2m @ 13.6 g/t Au)
• 16m @ 2.23 g/t Au from 17m
• 10m @ 2.54 g/t Au from 14m
• 4m @ 6.27 g/t Au from 41m
Final analytical results from this cu rrent phase of RC drilling are expected towards the end of November.
As previously announced, an initial phase of aircore (AC) drilling commenc ed earlier this month in order to investigate a number of priority tar get areas. This phase of drilling has now been successfully completed, with fi nal assay results expected in mid- November. The Company anticipates there will be scope to prioritize and modify drill targets as assay results come to hand. AC drilling equipment has therefore remained on site and is standing by in readi ness for immediate follow up drilling where warranted.
