Roscan Gold Corporation (TSXV: ROS) (FSE: 2OJ) (OTCQB: RCGCF) has obtained positive Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling results at Kabaya from an additional 53 holes totalling 5,969 m in Mali.
In order to both discover new gold zones outside our existing resource area and to expand the potential gold resources in our existing resource at Kabaya, Roscan designed an aggressive RC drilling programme.
This drilling was comprised of 60% step-out holes to test for new gold zones along the North South strike from KB1 to cover the underexplored zone between KB1 and KB3. The remaining 40% of the RC drill holes were focused on an infill drilling programme in KB1 and KB2. The excellent gold recovery of 95.65% in saprolite from the metallurgical test work with near surface mineralisation points to the economic potential of these targets.
The current drilling results at KB3 outlines an estimated strike length of 200m, a width of 80m and a 100m vertical depth. This zone is open at depth and laterally. There is an 850m gap between KB3 and KB1-2, the main gold mineralisation that is yet to be fully tested.
The infill holes at KB1 and KB2 enlarge the different grade envelopes and has infilled some areas to expand the continuity of the gold mineralization. KB1 and KB2 have a combined strike length of 985m, a horizontal width of 180m wide and still open to 225m vertical depth at KB1.

“Drilling at Kabaya continues to expand the footprint of the gold mineralisation which bodes well for the pending maiden resource in Q2. We are excited by the fresh rock intercepts at KB3 that points to a larger mineralised system within the 850-meter gap zone between KB1-2 and KB3, which is yet to be fully tested,” Nana Sangmuah, President and CEO, said.
“We are currently drilling additional RC and Diamond holes at our Mankouke, Disse and Kandiole targets and look forward to reporting additional assay results as they become available.”
