Mako’s Managing Director, Peter Ledwidge commented:

“We are pleased with the ongoing results from our extensional drilling at the Gogbala Prospect. Having 18 of 25holesreturnsignificantgoldresultsindicateshowwidelymineralisedtheGogbalaProspectis.Theseresults will add ounces to the upcoming maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) scheduled forQ2-CY22.

In addition to the positive results returned from the 2km-long high-priority maiden MRE zone, further promising intersects were returned outside that zone, which highlights the blue sky that remains at Gogbala and the whole Napié permit. Extensional drilling is ongoing at Gogbala in order to maximize the size of the upcoming MRE. We look forward to providing further results as assays are received.”
