Mako Gold Limited (ASX: MKG) has commenced a diamond drilling programme to follow its RC drill results received from the recent 10,000m RC drill programme completed on the company’s flagship Napié Project, Côte d’Ivoire.
Mako’s managing director, Peter Ledwidge commented: “We are very happy to be commencing our diamond drilling programme so soon after the receipt of our results from our recent RC drilling programme which discovered high-grade gold on several new prospect areas on 400m spaced drill fences,”
“The majority of the DD holes will be diamond tails to extend RC holes, targeting high-grade gold at depth.”
The Gogbala South target is situated along the 30km-long Napié Shear, which hosts the Tchaga and Gogbala deposits, both of which constitute the maiden resource of 868koz Au.
Eight holes are planned for a total of 800m at Gogbala South, Tchaga North, and Tchaga West. The object of the diamond drilling programme is to drill under positive results received from previous and recent drilling to target high-grade gold to a vertical depth of approximately 120m.
In addition to extending high-grade gold zones, the programme will provide valuable structural information to improve targeting for future drilling along strike of the previous 400m-spaced RC drill fences.
The company has said that future RC drilling will expand the current 868koz maiden resource at Napié.
