Further Expands Footprint At Mankouke South
Roscan Gold Corporation (TSXV: ROS) has received positive results from an additional 14 DD and RC holes totalling 3,066m at the Southern Mankouke Zone (MS1 and MS3) in Mali.
The results of MS1 confirms mineralisation open at depth and MS3 shows potential high-grade extension to the west.
Drilling Highlights:
Mankouke Discovery Zone (MS1)
- 1.43 gpt gold over 10m from drill hole DDMAN21-104B from 309.3m; Including 6.27 gpt gold over 1m from 318.3m
- 2.02 gpt gold over 25m from drill hole DDMAN21-104B from 329.3m; Including 5.97 gpt gold over 4m from 332.3m
- 2.33 gpt gold over 14m from drill hole DDMAN21-107 from 141.0m; Including 5.62 gpt gold over 2m from 142.0m, and 2.27 gpt gold over 9.8m from 158.0m; Including 6.08 gpt gold over 1.8m from 165.0m
- 1.58 gpt gold over 18m from drill hole DDMAN21-101 from 1.3m, and 8.43 gpt gold over 8m from 22.3m; including 18.22 gpt gold over 4m from 25.3m’ and 7.18 gpt gold over 9m from 56.3m, including 11.78 gpt gold over 5m from 59.3.3m
Mankouke Discovery Zone (MS3)
- 2.33 gpt gold over 18m from drill hole DDMAN21-106 from 53.3m; Including 4.95 gpt gold over 4m from 57.3m
President and CEO, Nana Sangmuah, said the Main Mankouke South Zone (MS1) results confirm mineralisation remains open at depth
Additional results from the main Southern Mankouke Zone (MS1) confirm the occurrence of high-grade mineralization at depth, in the fresh rock, as demonstrated with Hole DDMan21-104B. It is the deepest high-grade intercept in bedrock to date, showing strong continuity over multiple intervals and it remains open at depth beyond 300m vertical depth.
Additionally, Holes DDMan21-101 and DDMan21-107 continue to confirm the high-grade nature of MS1, showing that mineralisation is a clearly defined with consistency over wide intercepts. MS1 has now been traced over a strike length of 550m and as wide as 150 meters in certain parts and to a depth of 300m vertical depth.
Mankouke Discovery Zone (MS3) – Potential High-Grade Extension to the West
At the MS3 Discovery Zone, where previous drilling results (DDMan20-62, 64, 67, 69) had established a 200m north south mineralised trend, DDMan20-106 with 2.33 gpt gold over 18m from 53.3m indicates a potential high-grade mineralisation extension to the west.
Additional follow up drilling has been completed, pending results.
“We continue to be very encouraged with our flagship target Mankouke South, which again has delivered results that reinforce our geological thesis that we are on top of a system with multiple parallel zones starting at surface and with significant potential at depth. Hole 104B, the highest grade and depth to date at the Main Mankouke South Zone (MS1), points to a potential feed source and warrants follow up,” Mr Sangmuah said.
“The plunging shots also confirm this thesis of high grade at depth, a fact corroborated as well with the geophysics showing the existence of conductors as deep as over 1km. These results strengthen our interpretation of good potential at depth, which we would be testing in due course.
“This batch of drilling has also further expanded the footprint at Mankouke Discovery Zone (MS3), with Hole 106 indicating mineralization at MS3 not only is traced north to south but also extends to the west, expanding toward the recently acquired Mankouke West permit, where we have just completed a large first pass drilling program and are eagerly awaiting assays.
“With approximately 20,000 metres of drilling results yet to be received, we are looking forward to providing further updates in the near future as more assays become available.”
