Nexus Gold Drills 4m of 10.87 g/t Au, Within 28m of 1.90 g/t Au, at the Dakouli 2 Gold Concession, Burkina Faso, West Africa

 

(TheNewswire)

   

Nexus Gold Corp. (" Nexus " or the " Company ") (TSXV:NXS ) ( OTC:NXXGF ) ( FSE:N6E) is pleased to report it has received preliminary assay results from the recently completed diamond drill program conducted at its 100% owned, 9,800-ha, Dakouli 2 Gold Project, located in Burkina Faso, West Africa

 

  A total of 2500 meters of exploratory drilling was completed over 11 holes.  This drill program was designed to confirm and further test zones of mineralization discovered during the Company's Reverse Circulation ("RC") drill program conducted in November and December 2020.  Significant results in these first five diamond drill holes include:  

 

  DKL-21-DD-002  

 
  •  

      --   10.87 grams-per-tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 4 meters  

     
  •  
  •  

      --   Within a broader intercept of 1.90 g/t Au over 28m (from 91 to 119 meters depth)  

     
  •  
  •  

      --   1.43 g/t Au over 10m (from 154m to 164m)  

     
  •  
  •  

      --   Including 10.60 g/t Au over 1m  

     
  •  

  This hole also returned high-grade intervals of 15.10 g/t Au over 1m, and 17.00 g/t Au over 1m.  

 

  DKL-21-DD-001  

 
  •  

      --   1.01 g/t Au over 15m  

     
  •  
  •  

      --   Including 6.88 g/t Au over 1m  

     
  •  
  •  

      --   Within a broader intercept of 23m of 0.95 g/t Au  

     
  •  
  •  

      --   1.46 g/t Au over 7m  

     
  •  
  •  

      --   Including 4.87 g/t Au over 1m  

     
  •  

  "This is a great start to the diamond program.  It's looking like we have an impressive zone enveloping  the meta-volcanic/meta-sediment contact," said Warren Robb, VP Exploration.  "We have traced this contact now for over 800 meters, and it still remains open to depth," added Mr. Robb.  

 

  "We are gaining valuable insight into how the gold deposition is occurring at Dakouli," said President & CEO, Alex Klenman.  "We're getting a better understanding of continuity along this main trend that appears to extend several kilometers to the west. The large geochemical footprint at Dakouli, in addition to artisanal activity, indicates there are potentially sub zones or corridors that parallel the main trend that appear to extend in a southwesterly direction.  Once all results are received and released, we'll begin a follow up program to further delineate the mineralization at Dakouli," continued Mr. Klenman.

  Drill core is logged and sampled in a secure core storage facility located in the village of Bokin.  Core samples from the program are cut in half, using a diamond cutting saw, and are sent to Activation Laboratories in Ouagadougou, an accredited mineral analysis laboratory, for analysis.  All samples are analyzed for gold using standard Fire Assay-AA techniques.  Certified gold reference standards, blanks and field duplicates are routinely inserted into the sample stream, as part of Nexus's quality control/quality assurance program (QA/QC).  No QA/QC issues were noted with the results   reported   herein   .   Assays are pending from holes 6 through 11, and results will be reported once received, reviewed, and verified.  

 

  Drilling to Date at Dakouli  

 

  In late 2020 the Company conducted a Reverse Circulation ("RC") drill program at the 98-sq kms concession consisting of 2,914 meters of exploratory drilling.  The first-ever drill program on the property was designed to test several areas that have returned either high gold values from rock samples or coincidental soil geochemical and geophysical anomalies proximal to artisanal workings ("orpaillages").  Drilling has so far primarily been confined to a small section in the upper northeastern portion of the concession ground.  

 

  Significant results were encountered in several holes, including:  

 

  DKL-20-RC-007  

 
  •  

      --   4.83 grams-per-tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 20 meters  

     
  •  
  •  

      --   Including 14.51 g/t Au over 6m  

     
  •  
  •  

      --   And 39.6 g/t over 2m  

     
  •  

  DKL-20-RC-009  

 
  •  

      --   1.61 g/t Au over 10m  

     
  •  
  •  

      --   Including 4.11 g/t Au over 2m  

     
  •  

  DKL-20-RC-010  

 
  •  

      --   1.89 g/t Au over 8m  

     
  •  
  •  

      --   Including 6.54 g/t Au over 2   m  

     
  •  

  In addition, several holes returned lengthy intercepts of sub-one gram gold, including DKL-20-RC-006 which returned .59 g/t Au over 18 meters, DKL-20-RC-017, which returned .91 g/t Au over 10m, and DKL-20-RC-002 which returned .64 g/t Au over 16 meters.

  About the Dakouli 2 Gold Concession  

 

  The Dakouli 2 exploration permit is a 98-sq km (9,800 hectares) gold exploration property located approximately 100 kilometers due north of the capital city Ouagadougou. Situated   on the Goren greenstone belt, Dakouli is proximal to Nordgold's Bissa Mine, and is bisected by the gold-bearing Sabce shear zone.  

 

  In late 2018 Company geologists conducted a comprehensive ground reconnaissance program to the west and south of the main orpaillage (artisanal zone) and identified new near surface workings being exploited by artisanal miners.   Rock samples collected from these new zones contained various concentrations of visible gold, including coarse nuggety samples.  

 

  Follow up work outlined an anomalous zone extending some 500 meters west from the sample zones. Based on those results the Company initiated a 150-line kilometer soil geochemical survey covering the northern half of the Dakouli 2 property.   This survey identified three prominent gold geochemical trends.  

 

  The primary gold trend parallels the Sabce fault zone and extends for approximately 10 kilometers in a northeast-southwest direction and bisects the property from the northeast corner of the property to its western boundary.  The Sabce fault hosts multiple deposits including Nordgold's 3.4M oz Bissa Mine, located approximately 25km east of the Dakouli ground.  

 

  Two secondary gold trends which extend for approximately 6.5 kilometers each are oriented in a northwest to southeast direction and bisect the primary trend.  All three gold geochemical trends are coincidental to geophysical trends identified from the national regional airborne geophysics.

Bert Dohmen: Gold, Silver Key as Stock Market Bull Trap Looms

Bert Dohmen, founder and CEO of Dohmen Capital Research, sees physical gold and silver as key safe havens as a potential bull trap in the broad stock market plays out.

"We said we're probably going to go to a new high in a major, widely watched index like the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX). It's going to be by a small amount a new high, and that's going to close the bull trap," he said.

Top 5 ASX Gold Stocks of 2025

Gold continued to perform well through the second quarter of 2025, reaching a new all-time high of AU$5,425 per ounce on April 22.

The price surge has occurred amid volatile equity and financial markets since the start of the year, driven by concerns over a global trade war and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

The rising gold price has also been supported by uncertainty over a looming debt crisis in the United States. Some investors have turned away from dollar-denominated haven assets, such as US Treasuries, in favour of precious metals like gold.

Meeka Metals Reports First Gold Pour at Murchison Project

Meeka Metals (ASX:MEK) has poured the first gold at its flagship Murchison project in Western Australia.

The pour happened on Tuesday (July 1), and in a Wednesday (July 2) press release, the company said the project’s production is in line with schedule, happening within 12 months of breaking ground.

Murchison sits near several multimillion-ounce gold mines and hosts a large, high-grade resource of 1.2 million ounces at 3 grams per tonne (g/t) gold on granted mining leases.
