The exploration campaign includes a 10,000m auger drilling program, which is designed to test for new gold resources at recently delineated high priority prospect areas that may be amenable to processing through the underutilized facilities at the Morila Gold Mine.
Specifically, the auger drilling will better define the location of high potential gold zones adjacent to anomalous gold and multielement targets at Koble, Viper and Koting prospects.
The data collected from the program is expected to be compiled and analyzed to help the company in generation of definitive targets for reverse circulation (RC) drilling in search of new gold resources.
The initial analytical results are expected to be available before the end of this quarter.
Birimian Gold is also planning an AC drilling to investigate the potential for additional shallow highgrade gold mineralisation in Konze, Wara and Ntiola South prospects, identified during the previous detailed auger drilling program.
In addition, a regional multielement sampling campaign is underway over the broader Massigui Project area, which combined with detailed geological mapping and focused follow up sampling, is expected to deliver a significant number of additional targets for auger drilling and subsequent RC drill testing over coming months.
The Massigui project comprises 1,638km2 land holding that abuts and surrounds the Morila Gold Mine, a world class gold mine that has produced in excess of six million ounces of gold since operations started in 2000.
