Mako Gold Limited (“Mako” or “the Company”; ASX:MKG) advises that it has received the final assay results from 49 reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling (DD) holes from the Gogbala Prospect, within the Company’s flagship Napié Project in Côte d’Ivoire. Gogbala is located on a +23km soil anomaly and coincident 30km-long Napié Fault (Figure 4).
HIGHLIGHTS

Mako’s Managing Director, Peter Ledwidge commented:
“We are pleased to have received all the final assay results from the Gogbala extensional drilling. We have transferred the final data to our resource consultants for the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate which we anticipate being released by early to mid-June. We are particularly pleased with the excellent results in the last batch of assays, as we believe this will have a positive impact on the MRE.
Mineralised zones continue to exhibit excellent continuity with wide and high-grade results down-dip and along strike. We are enthused by the continuity of mineralisation, as this demonstrates how robust mineralisation at the Gogbala deposit is turning out to be.
We are once again highly encouraged with the high success rate in our drilling with 40 of the 49 holes drilled returning significant gold results. We look forward to announcing our maiden MRE in June”.
FINAL DRILL RESULTS FROM GOGBALA - MAIDEN MRE ANTICIPATED IN EARLY TO MID JUNE
Significant wide and high-grade mineralisation was intersected in 40 of the 49 holes drilled at Gogbala, which includes 4.3m at 5.67g/t Au and 11.2m at 7.40g/t Au including 1m at 54.05g/t Au in NARC294DD and 13m at 3.34g/t Au in NARC712 (Figure 4).
All holes were drilled in the 2km-long high-priority area (purple arrow in Figure 1) which is the focus of extensional drilling for the upcoming maiden MRE scheduled for completion in early to mid-June 2020.
Mineralised zones show continuity along strike and down dip. Gold mineralisation remains open in all directions with significant growth potential.
Intervals above 0.5g/t Au cut-off are reported in Appendix 1. A map of the drill hole locations is shown in Appendix 2.
