Nexus Gold Completes Reconaissance Program at the Manzour-Dayere Gold Project, Burkina Faso, West Africa

 

(TheNewswire)

   

Vancouver, Canada - TheNewswire June 25, 2021 - Nexus Gold Corp. (" Nexus " or the " Company ") (TSXV:NXS ) ( OTC:NXXGF ) ( FSE:N6E) is pleased to report that it has completed its ground reconnaissance program over its 100% owned, 190.53 sq-km (19,053-hectare), Manzour-Dayere gold exploration permit located on the Boromo Greenstone belt, 325 km southwest of the capital city of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, West Africa.

 

  Members of the Company's geological team conducted a series of geological mapping and prospecting exercises over various areas of the concession.  The property is underlain by a wedge of volcano-sedimentary rocks which hosts numerous artisanal workings.  Local artisanal miners are extracting material from quartz veins occurring in the volcano sedimentary package.  The wedge is completely surrounded by felsic intrusive rocks.  

 

  A large alluvial mining camp is located near the northeast corner of the property.  Nexus geologists viewed several areas in these workings where coarse free gold was being extracted.  The alluvial workings are 500 meters downstream from the Manzour-Dayere property suggesting that the property may have contributed to gold deposition there.  In total the geological team traversed over 250 kilometers of roads and trails, collecting multiple samples from several areas of interest.  Sample results will be released once received, reviewed, and verified.  

 

  Previous operators on the property identified nine structures through an airborne magnetics survey.  These structures received little to no follow up work.  Data accumulated by the team from this program is currently being reviewed and once completed the scope and nature of follow up exploration plans will be determined.  

 

  Follow up programs will look to expand the gold mineralization that has already been identified in the Northeast corner of the property and returned results of   9.60 grams-per-tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au"), 7.07 g/t Au, 5.73 g/t Au, 3.84 g/t Au and 2.84 g/t Au (see Company news release dated February 27, 2020).  

 

  Recent historical exploration on the property conducted between 2011 and 2014 returned reported high-grade values of 132 g/t Au, 85.40 g/t Au, 61.20 g/t Au, and 27.9 g/t Au, from select grab samples of quartz veining at the main orpaillage in the extreme northeast corner of the property, while select grab samples of the sedimentary host rock returned values of 103 g/t Au and 21.40 g/t Au, respectively.  The workings on the main orpaillage are extensive and extend to depths of 60 to 80 meters below surface.*  

 

  The Manzour-Dayere Concession is located along the Boromo Greenstone belt, an early Proterozoic Birimian sequence of the West African Craton, that is home to several significant gold deposits.  Situated in southwestern Burkina Faso, near the border with Ghana, the area is home to several producing mines, including Yaramoko (Roxgold), Hounde (Endeavour), Poura (Newmont), Bondi (Sarama).

  Non-Brokered Private Placement  

 

  The Company also announces that it has completed the offering of 16,109,450 units (each, a "   Unit   "). The Units were offered by way of non-brokered private placement, at a price of $0.05 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $805,472.50.  Each Unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (each, a "   Warrant   ") exercisable to acquire an additional common share at a price of $0.07 until June 28, 2024. The gross proceeds from the offering will be used for further project development work and for general working capital purposes.  

 

  In connection with completion of the offering, the Company paid finders' fees of $13,500 and issued 270,000 Warrants to certain arm's-length parties that introduced subscribers to the offering.  All securities issued in connection with completion of the offering are subject to a four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period, in accordance with applicable securities laws, until October 29, 2021.

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.
