Nexus Gold Commences Exploration Program at Bouboulou Gold Concession

Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / September 8, 2016 – Nexus Gold (TSX.V: NXS) announced that activities have commenced at the Bouboulou Gold Concession in Burkina Faso, West Africa.
According to the news release:

Nexus Gold Director, Warren Robb, P.Geo, will plan and implement the fall exploration program at Bouboulou. Mr. Robb was Chief Geologist for Roxgold in 2012 where he wrote the 43-101 and oversaw drilling at the property (then called Bissa West).  Immediate work includes reviewing legacy data, data compilation, geological mapping, drill hole mapping and selection, rock and core geochemical re-sampling, ground confirmation, and sourcing of drill operator, equipment and crew.
In addition to the four known gold zones at Bouboulou, a new area of interest has been observed on the property due to an increase in artisanal mining activity. Upon the initial property visit the company geologist noted a large orpillage (area worked by artisanal miners).  The zone being exploited by the orpilleurs is a shear hosted in meta volcanics with coross cutting quartz veins and stringers. The orepillage extends for some 250 meters along strike with the Bouda orpaillage which is adjacent to the property and located along the Sabce shear zone. This same shear zone also hosts Norgold’s Bissa Hills mine.  The Company has sampled the dumps of the orpillage and will integrate the geochemical data into its geological databases.
“The new area near Pelgtanga appears to be a deep structure, we’re going to get a good look at it, but the increase in artisanal activity is interesting from an exploration perspective,” said Warren Robb, P.Geo.
