Nexus Gold to Conduct Reconnaissance Program at the Manzour-Dayere Gold Project, Burkina Faso, West Africa

 

(TheNewswire)

   

Nexus Gold Corp. (" Nexus " or the " Company ") (TSXV:NXS ) ( OTC:NXXGF ) ( FSE:N6E) is pleased to report that it has mobilized field crews to its 100% owned, 190.53 sq-km (19,053-hectare), Manzour-Dayere gold exploration permit located on the Boromo Greenstone belt, 325 km south west of the capital city of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, West Africa

 

  Field crews will be conducting a property-wide geological mapping, prospecting, and rock sampling program to aid in determining suitable areas for ground follow up, and for drill testing.  Previous operators on the property identified nine structures through an airborne magnetics survey.  These structures received little to no follow up work. The program will also 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.*  

 

  "Manzour is a project we'd like to develop in conjunction with Dakouli," said President and CEO, Alex Klenman.  "It's a district scale land package, located in an area already rich in gold endowment. To date we've only conducted some limited field work in the extreme NE corner of the concession, in and around known artisanal activity.  We're going to get a comprehensive reconnaissance program done here in April so we can identify the areas for follow up and ultimately, drilling.  We have a window before we're back at Dakouli for a second round of drilling, so we feel now is a good time get the recon done and gather more valuable data on what we believe is an underexplored and highly prospective project," continued Mr. Klenman.  

 

  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).

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.
