African Gold Ltd (ASX: A1G) has announced the results from the recently completed DDD049 diamond drill hole, second out of six drilled on the Blaffo Guetto prospect, on the company’s Didievi Gold Project in Cote d’Ivoire.
The results returned a thick, high-grade gold intersection of 65.0m at 5.6g/t of gold from 177m, confirming distribution of the gold mineralization an additional 85m along the southwesterly plunging high-grade gold trend. The mineralization remains open at depth.
Africa Gold’s managing director, Mr Phillip Gallagher, said, “65.0m at 5.6g/t of gold from 177m is a spectacular result from the recent diamond drilling programme on the Blaffo Guetto prospect. Excitingly, it is an extension of previous mineralization and remains open at depth, plus it has extended our target area which this diamond drilling was designed to test. This is a fantastic result that has shown that the resource modelling that the design of this diamond drilling programme was based on is proving to be accurate.”
The drillhole also included shallow intercepts of:
- 9.0m at 1.7g/t of gold from 23m
- 28m at 1.1g/t of gold from 77m
The drilling programme was designed to test possible extension of the gold lodes and to infill previous drilling on gold controlling structures of the prospect with a view to increasing the scale and categorization of the existing inferred resource.
Additionally, the new drilling results will allow a positive update to the existing Didievi Project maiden inferred resource of 4.93Mt for 452Koz of gold at 2.9g/t Au (1.0g/t Au cut off).
