Sarama Resources Recommences Drilling at South Houndé Project in Burkina Faso

Sarama Resources Ltd. (TSXV:SWA) announced that it has recommenced drilling at its South Houndé project in southwest Burkina Faso.

As quoted in the press release:

Following the review of results from the three month exploration program completed in March 2015, the Company, in conjunction with its partner Acacia Mining plc, has designed a nominal 7,100 meter diamond, reverse circulation and air core drill program to follow up deeper high grade and shallow oxide targets at the Project.

The diamond drill component totals 1,100m and is planned to test the down dip extension of high-grade lenses in the MM Prospect and geophysical anomalies in the unexplored footwall of the MM Prospect and underneath the MC Prospect.  The MM Prospect is situated within a 9.8 kilometer trend of semi-continuous mineralization with significant intercepts down to a depth of 390 meters.

The RC drill component totals 3,000 meters and is planned to investigate potential down-dip extensions of known shallow mineralisation at the MC, Phantom, Obi and Dlarakoro Prospects while the AC drill program, also totaling 3,000 meters, is designed to extend and infill known oxide targets at the MM, MC and Phantom West Prospects.

Andrew Dinning, president and CEO of Sarama, commented:

Following the completion and review of the encouraging results of the first phase of the 2015 exploration program, we are pleased to be moving in to the next phase of exploration to follow up on the high priority targets. We continue to work closely with our partner, Acacia Mining, to add value to the Project and we look forward to the results of this next program.
