Sama to Initiate Down-Hole Geophysical Survey

MONTREAL, QUEBEC–(Marketwired – Sept. 28, 2016) – Sama Resources Inc. (“Sama” or the “Company“) (TSX VENTURE:SME) announces that the Company will proceed with a down-hole geophysical survey at two project locations in Ivory Coast, West-Africa.
The geophysical testing will commence in October and surveyed boreholes will include the 620 meters (“m“) long SM34-564718 at the Samapleu main deposit and the recently drilled 342 m long GR72-787708 at the Grata property. The survey will be performed under the supervision of Abitibi Geophysics, Val d’Or, Canada.
The company’s exploration objective is to delineate massive sulphide reservoirs that could be the source of high grade nickel (“Ni“) – copper (“Cu“) – palladium (“Pd“) lenses intercepted in shallower boreholes at the Samapleu deposits. The following table has select highlights of high-grade drill results at the Samapleu and Yepleu. They have all been previously announced and readers are encouraged to see previous news releases for full details.
At Samapleu, the 2014’s borehole SM34-564718 tested the pipe-like intrusion at depth and intercepted more than 200m of ultramafic layers with disseminated sulphite from 420m to the bottom. The borehole was terminated within the ultramafic complex. The borehole is located 150m from another hole (SM44-693140b) which intercepted 91m of ultramafic sequence with mineralisation up to 6.55% Cu and an interval of 3.4m grading 1.12% Ni, 0.50% Cu and 1.61gpt Pd intercepted at the bottom of the hole (from 594m) which suggest that the mineralization continued at depth.
The Grata Permit is located adjacent to the north-eastern boundary of the Samapleu exploration permit (PR 123). Sama believes that ultramafic sequences of the recently outlined large Yacouba Layered Complex which hosts the Samapleu nickel-copper-palladium deposits, are extending within the Grata Permit and as such represent a prime target for nickel-copper-palladium mineralization. The borehole GR72-787708 has been terminated at 342m and intersected the typical Yacouba complex sequence including fractured pyroxenite and gabbro with sulphide mineralisation as fractures filling between 180 and 187m.
