Roxgold Inc. (TSXV:ROG) reported results from metallurgical drilling at the Yaramoko Permit in Burkina Faso. Results include 29.73 gpt gold over 28.8 meters, and 27.62 gpt gold over 7.3 meters
As quoted in the press release:
HIGHLIGHTS:
29.73 grams per tonne (“gpt”) gold over 28.8 meters in metallurgical test hole, YRM-13-MET-01
27.62 gpt gold over 7.3 meters in metallurgical test hole, YRM-13-MET-05The metallurgical test holes were intentionally designed to drill down-dip on the 55 Zone structure in order to gather representative samples of mineralized material for metallurgical testing. Drill hole YRM-13-MET-01 was drilled on section 9475 and intersected 28.80 metres of mineralized material at approximately 200 meters vertical depth. The hole did not completely pass through the zone and was terminated in the footwall. Holes YRM-13-MET-02 and 03 were planned to test mineralization at approximately 60 to 100 meters. Both holes ended up drilling under the structure and paralleling the 55 Zone at 64 and 63 degrees respectively.
Roxgold Inc. COO Paul Criddle said:
Hole YRM-13-MET-01 provides confirmation as to the continuity of grade over an approximately 25 meter vertical slice through the deposit. Results such as these continue to validate our confidence in the 55 Zone and we look forward to conducting the next phase of test work as part of our Preliminary Economic Assessment.
