High-Grade Drill Results at Gogbala Confirm Similarities With Tchaga

Mako Gold Limited ("Mako" or "the Company"; ASX:MKG) is pleased to advise that it has received the first batch of assay results from the 10,000m reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the Gogbala Prospect and six diamond drill (DD) results from the Tchaga Prospect, both at the Company's flagship Napié Project in Côte d'Ivoire. Gogbala and Tchaga are located on the same +23km soil anomaly and coincident 30km-long Napié Fault (Figure 6).



Mako's Managing Director, Peter Ledwidge commented: "The Gogbala Prospect is displaying similar structural and mineralisation characteristics as the Tchaga Prospect. We are very encouraged by the results achieved to date on Gogbala with limited wide-spaced drilling. Although it is early days it appears that Gogbala is likely to have the same stacked lodes which are prominent at Tchaga. Our strategy at Gogbala is to focus on areas which return high-grade assays and to drill outwards from these zones to delineate stacked lodes with the aim of increasing the potential mineral inventory. In the short term we will alternate drilling between Gogbala and Tchaga. We also have plans to drill the Tchaga North and Komboro prospects. We look forward to providing results from Tchaga and Gogbala as they come to hand."

HIGHLIGHTS

  • RC drill results received confirm Gogbala and Tchaga host similar mineralisation styles
  • 15 RC holes received at Gogbala with 12 intersecting significant mineralisation. Select results include:
    • NARC518: 7m at 6.70g/t Au from 6m; including 3m at 10.61g/t Au from 6m
    • NARC524: 8m at 2.87g/t Au from 49m; including 1m at 11.13g/t Au from 53m
    • NARC520: 8m at 1.15g/t Au from 51m
    • NARC523: 5m at 1.06g/t Au from 59m
  • 6 DD holes received from Tchaga with all intersecting significant mineralisation. Select results include:
    • NARC415DD: 2m at 6g/t Au from 193m
    • NARC440DD: 3m at 2.79g/t Au from 20m1 ; 3.2m at 1.25g/t Au from 170m
    • NARC310DD: 3m at 2.28g/t Au from 160m and 3.8m at 1.22g/t Au from 196m
    • NARC416DD: 2.4m at 1.80g/t Au from 126m and 3.8m at 1.23g/t Au from 152m
  • The first phase of the 10,000m drill program at Gogbala is completed with the drill rig back at Tchaga; all part of a 35,000m drilling program on the Napié Project
  • Planned drilling at Tchaga will continue testing the large soil anomaly and extending zones of high gold mineralisation along strike and at depth


GOGBALA DRILLING RESULTS

Results are reported from the first 15 holes of the first phase of the planned 10,000m drill program as announced to ASX on 12 August 2021. Twelve of the 15 holes intersected significant mineralisation including 7m at 6.16g/t Au from 6m in NARC518 and 8m at 2.87g/t Au from 49m in NARC524. The aim of the Gogbala drill program is to target high-grade areas identified from previous drilling by the Company and to work outwards with the goal of delineating stacked lodes. This targeting technique has worked well at the Tchaga Prospect a few kilometres north. Mako sees many similarities in structurally controlled gold deposition between Gogbala and Tchaga. The "pinch and swell" characteristic of mineralisation observed at Tchaga is also present at Gogbala, which lends itself well to follow-up drilling along strike and down dip as shown by the planned drill-hole in Figure 3 to target a widening zone of the "pinch and swell". The Company believes that Gogbala has the potential to host similar stacked gold lodes as those identified on the Tchaga Prospect, and therefore has the potential to host a significant gold deposit.

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.

Is Australia on the Brink of a New Mining Super Cycle?

Mining remains as a cornerstone of Australia’s GDP and export earnings, but current global challenges such as trade disputes and price changes may be straining its foundations.

A recent FocusEconomics report tackled Australia’s resource wealth, tracing from the gold rushes of the 1850s to the iron ore and coal booms of the 21st century.
