Turaco Gold Limited (ASX:TCG) has confirmed its Satama gold discovery in Côte d’Ivoire is a significant, multi-kilometre strike length greenfield find with new assay results from recently completed RC drilling at the Eburnea Gold Project.
Latest assays from reverse circulation (RC) drilling at Satama have returned the best results to date and include:
o 30m @ 1.92g/t gold from 94m (STRC0066)
o 17m @ 2.13g/t gold from 16m (STRC0074)
o 5m @ 5.96g/t gold from 115m (STRC0082)
o 10m @ 2.21g/t gold from 141m (STRC0067)
o 10m @ 2.44g/t gold from 35m (STRC0051)
o 11m @ 2.23g/t gold from 128m (STRC0049)
o 6m @ 3.30g/t gold from 82m (STRC0075)
o 7m @ 2.98g/t gold from 141m (STRC0076)
o 9m @ 1.70g/t gold from 21m and 5m @ 1.66g/t gold from 53m (STRC0079)
o 9m @ 1.84g/t gold from 75m (STRC0084)
“These latest drill results have shown Satama to be a large discovery over several kilometres in strike,” Managing Director, Justin Tremain, said.
“Results confirm good continuity of gold mineralisation over the +2km drilled strike, which remains open in all directions and at depth. Encouragingly, grades appear to be improving at depth into the fresh rock where several plus 30 gram metre (grade x width) intersections have been returned.
“Drilling has also confirmed parallel lodes to the west of the main zone where shallow, step out drilling has been undertaken with assays pending. This 100% owned discovery is quickly evolving into Turaco’s flagship project.”
Eburnea Project
The Eburnea Project covers two granted permits covering 690 sq. km in central Côte d’Ivoire. The Bouake North permit is positioned on the Oume-Fetekro belt which hosts the 2.5Moz Fetekro gold project approximately 35km to the north and the 2.5Moz Bonikro and 1.0Moz Agbaou gold mines 200km to the south.
The Satama permit covers a significant northeast trending shear splaying off the crustal scale Ouango-Fitini shear, which marks the margin of the Birimian Comoé basin.
