In its most recent release of exploration results, B2Gold (TSX:BTO) reported several high grade step out and infill drill results from its Fekola and Kiaka projects.
As quoted in the press release:

Highlights include extending Fekola 700 metres down plunge with drill results up to 4.77 g/t gold over 45.4 metres and a new zone found near Kiaka where drill results are up to 2.21 g/t gold over 106 metres.
Fekola Project, Mali
Exploration in 2015 focused on the main open pit Fekola deposit, the extension of the main Fekola mineralization to depth outside the feasibility design pit and testing several regional grassroots targets.
Fekola Deeps:
To date, 8 diamond drill holes, totalling 4,200 metres have been drilled in the Fekola Deeps Zone, a down plunge extension of the Fekola deposit that has been traced for over 700 metres below the limits of the feasibility pit boundary.
Kiaka Regional Exploration, Burkina Faso
In 2015, Kiaka regional exploration was focused along a strand of the regionally significant Markoye fault corridor structure where an auger drilling program carried out in 2014 identified anomalous geochemical targets co-incident with prospective geological structures identified in the interpretation of airborne geophysics and geological mapping. In 2015, 1,591 metres of diamond drilling and 3,870 metres of reverse circulation drilling were completed on this new prospect area. Studies are currently underway to determine whether this new prospect area contains sufficient mineral resources to supplement the Kiaka Gold Project, or if it constitutes a viable, standalone gold project. A total of 13,000 metres of reverse circulation, diamond and air core drilling is planned in 2016.
