Has Success At Depth And Along Strike
Oklo Resources Limited (ASX:OKU) has successfully expanded its Dandoko Project in west Mali, Africa with results from its drilling results from its 2021 field season.
The southernmost step-out line drilled to date at SK1 South (400m south of hole RCSK20-272) intersected 13m at 1.03g/t goldfrom 44m in hole RCSK20-283, while hole RCSK20-281 returned 3m at 1.83g/t gold from 106m and a second wider zone of 20m at 0.51g/t gold from 118m with the hole ending in mineralisation (1.10g/t gold).
Managing Director, Simon Taylor, said these results confirmed SK1 South remains open along strike, with drilling ongoing to further extend this zone to the south.
“We are encouraged by the latest results from SK1 South with the deepest hole drilled to date intersecting a thick zone of medium-grade gold mineralisation,” Mr Taylor said.
“Additionally, the most southern line at SK1 South continues to extend this zone which will be further tested along strike to the south and at depth. These results coupled with the emergence of a new high- grade zone at SK4 some 700m to the north east of SK1 bodes well for further drilling success at Seko.
“With the current drilling campaign in full swing, we look forward to further unlocking the potential of the Dandoko gold system.”
Oklo commenced an initial 15,000m drilling programme in late October 2020 with the aim of completing the program in advance of finalising the maiden MRE. The programme is predominantly targeting the ~3km SK1 North – SK1 South – Koko trend at Seko, which remains open at depth and along strike.
Reconnaissance aircore (AC) drilling is testing additional targets in close proximity to Seko identified through a combination of results from previous auger geochemical drilling, induced polarisation (IP) and geological mapping.
The programme was delayed in December due to the late arrival of two of the three drill rigs. However, all three rigs were fully operational and working on double shifts over the New Year period to increase the daily meterage rate and the programme is now back on track with two drill rigs currently operating following demobilisation of the third rig.
A total of 14,650 metres has been completed, and subject to the timely receipt of assay results the completion of the MRE is expected during the current quarter.
A further 143 holes have now been completed with assays pending.
