- Mako Gold (MKG) sees its widest drill intercept to date returned from the Gogbala Prospect in Côte d’Ivoire
- Nine reverse circulation results were returned from Gogbala, with all holes intersecting significant mineralisation
- The standout result came from the southern extension of Napié Fault, which returned 35 metres at 1.72 grams per tonne (g/t) gold
- Additional drilling will begin after the wet season, which will aim to extend the shallow, wide gold mineralisation to the south along the Napié Fault
- Mako Gold closed up 4.76 per cent at 11 cents
Mako Gold (MKG) has seen its widest drill intercept to date returned from the Gogbala Prospect in Côte d’Ivoire.
Nine reverse circulation results were returned from Gogbala, with all holes intersecting significant mineralisation.
The standout result came from the southern extension of Napié Fault, returning 35 metres at 1.72 grams of gold per tonne (g/t), which Mako’s Managing Director Peter Ledwidge described as “outstanding.”
“We are particularly pleased that the two best results in this announcement, 35 metres at 1.72g/t gold and 20 metres at 1.92g/t gold are located at the southern extent of our drilling along the west splay of the Napié Fault,” Mr Ledwidge said.
“This gives us plenty of runway to extend the wide and high-grade mineralisation by continuing to drill south along the fault.”
Mr Ledwidge added the company anticipated these results would extend mineralisation past the two kilometres strike length that was already delineated on the high-priority portion of the Gogbala Prospect.
Additional drilling is being planned after the wet season, which will aim to extend the shallow, wide gold mineralisation to the south along the Napié Fault.
Meanwhile, results from eight reverse circulation holes at Tchaga South were returned, with five intersecting mineralisation. Results included 2 metres at 24.06g/t gold from 112 metres.
“We feel that we are close to finding the “sweet spot” south of the watercourse and are optimistic that further drilling will lead us to additional wide and high grade stacked lodes that have repeatedly been discovered on the Tchaga Prospect,” Mr Ledwidge said.
Further drill assay results are pending for two diamond drill holes at Gogbala.
Mako Gold closed up 4.76 per cent at 11 cents.
