Roscan Expands Gold Mineralization at Kabaya
Roscan Gold Corporation(TSXV: ROS) (FSE: 2OJ) (OTCQB: RCGCF) ("Roscan" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional exploration results from 12 Reverse Circulation ("RC") holes totaling 1,963 meters at Kabaya (KB3).
These step-out RC holes have expanded the strike length of mineralization at KB3 to 600 meters from 300m (Figure 1), with a width of 100 meters. It remains open at depth and laterally with a plunging angle of approximately 10° towards south. Additionally, these results indicate an increase in mineralization of about 70 meters below the existing 1,500-dollar pit shell. To fully capture the potential of the KB3 extensions of the gold mineralization, further infill and deeper drilling is required to enhance the resource estimation.
The cumulative gold strike length at KB1-KB2 and KB3 currently spans 1,800 meters, with a width ranging from 150 meters (KB1-2) to 100 meters (KB3). The mineralization extends to a depth of 150 meters to 250 meters at KB2.
A 500-meter gap exists between KB3 and KB1-2, and the primary gold mineralization in this area has not been thoroughly explored or tested to its full extent.
Drilling Highlights: KB3 Reverse Circulation Drill Holes
- 1.62 gpt gold over 24 m from drill hole RCDBS22-0134b from 26m
- Including 3.36 gpt gold over 5m from 28m
- 2.27 gpt gold over 7m from drill hole RCDBS22-0136 from 27m
- Including 7.12 gpt gold over 1m from 32m
- Including 3.96 gpt gold over 1m from 161m
- Including 3.18 gpt gold over 1m from 169m
And 1.47 gpt gold over 15m from 160m.
- 1.13 gpt gold over 7m from drill hole RCDBS23- 0146 from 133m
And 6.04 gpt gold over 2m from 152m
- 31.37 gpt gold over 1m from drill hole RCDBS23-0147 from 137m
Notes: 1: True width yet to be determined; 2: Table 1 – Assay Highlights, 3: 0.5gpt used as cut-off with 2m internal dilution, 4: No top-cut.
Nana Sangmuah, President and CEO, stated, "As part of our 2023 work program, we have completed approximately 17,000 meters of drilling in the main resource areas, as well as tested new targets outside the current resource footprint. These results should be available in the coming weeks.
Drilling at Kabaya continues to expand the footprint of the gold mineralization, which bodes well for further resource growth. The positive results obtained beneath the existing K3 pit shell, within the fresh rock, are particularly encouraging as they suggest the presence of a larger mineralized system. This development strengthens our confidence in the untapped potential of the area."
Figure 1: Kabaya gold deposit, KB3 drilling plan view, gold contouring envelopes projected to the surface and drill hole locations.
The Kabaya gold mineralization is disseminated and associated with a strong kaolinization. The gold host rock alternates between tuffaceous and greywacke facies crosscut by younger dolerite sills and dykes (Figures 2 and 3). At KB3, the higher-grade zone does not appear at the surface and, from the longitudinal section, the mineralization is plunging around 10-15° to the South. This relatively higher grade has not been captured in our resource estimation (Press Release June 8th, 2022).

Figure 3: Kabaya gold deposit, KB3 satellite North, section A 1390600N
The Kabaya mineralization is part of the prolific regional Siribaya-Mankouke-Seko structural corridor (Figure 4). It is located on the Eastern edge of this major structure as well as Mankouke South gold body. Roscan's large land package has a strategic position covering a substantial portion of this significant structural corridor by over 25km, including the splays around the intrusive pluton of Disse, where several mineralized bodies were discovered.

Drilling and Analytical Protocol
Roscan uses Geodrill Reverse Circulation (RC) to drill until maximum 170m to reach the target. In 2021, (holes RCDBS21-026 to RCDBS21-048), the samples were sent for preparation and 50g fire assays to Bureau Veritas Bamako laboratory and since January 2022, the samples are sent to the ALS Laboratories in Bamako, Mali and assayed at their analytical facilities to Ouagadougou for 2 kg Bottle Roll with atomic absorption finish including tail analysis by fire assays for results more than 0.05ppm. Roscan applied industry-standard QA/QC procedures to the program using reference materials, blanks, standards, and duplicates.

ARGENTINA URANIUM
NUCLEAR INDUSTRY – CURRENT LANDSCAPE
- Argentina has 3 nuclear reactors operating along with small modular reactors (SMR) under construction plus negotiations for the possible construction of a fourth nuclear power plant are ongoing
https://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/Publications/PDF/CNPP- 2021/countryprofiles/Argentina/Argentina.htm#:~:text=Argentina%20has%20three%20nuclear%20power,%2C%20and%20E mbalse%20(CNE) - Argentina currently imports approximately 500,000 lbs of U3O8 annually
https://blueskyuranium.com/assets/docs/Argentinas-Expanding-Nuclear-Energy-Industry-Needs-Domestic- Uranium-Supply.pdf - No significant uranium production in the country
- With rising uranium prices, there is a likely exploitation of known resources previously defined at Cerro Solo, Laguna Salada, Sierra Pintada, and Ivana
- Integrated exploration at an Argentinian basin level has not been carried out and the known resources are plausibly only a fraction of country’s uranium potential
- Centre for Nuclear Energy in Agriculture Centro (CNEA) controls Argentina's uranium market (since the 1950s) however this may change with the new administration and current uranium price environment
LAS ALTERAS PROJECT
- Via Greenshift Commodities Ltd (GCOM) subsidiary Buenavida Metales S.A; Norfolk has exclusivity to 22 claims totaling 60,396 hectares know as the Las Alteras Project
- Las Alteras project is a uranium project portfolio along Paleochannels and Calcrete environments favorable to giant uranium deposits
- Las Alteras land package represents a significant opportunity to be a major uranium explorer within the Cerro Solo District
- Fluvial and pyroclastic sediments constituting the Chubut Group settled down upon a Jurassic age basement
- These Jurassic volcanics (grouped as the Marifil Formation) covered much of eastern Chubut and Rio Negro and potentially supplied the material that makes up the Chubut Group sediments that host the mineralization
- Uranium hosted with pyrobitumen, indicating fluid mixing with methane. Potential for major uranium district with in-situ leach mining extraction considerations

A$80m Fully Underwritten Equity Raising to Accelerate Exploration and Development of Dalgaranga Gold Project
Proceeds to fund underground exploration decline to facilitate drill-out of Never Never, Pepper and Four Pillars, ongoing surface drilling, development studies and regional exploration
Spartan Resources Limited (Spartan or Company) (ASX:SPR) has today announced a fully underwritten $80 million Equity Raising to be conducted via a $33 million 1-for-17 pro rata accelerated non- renounceable entitlement offer and a $47 million placement to institutional, professional and sophisticated investors.
Highlights
- Fully underwritten $80m equity raising (Equity Raising) comprising:
- Institutional placement to raise approximately $47m (Placement); and
- A 1-for-17 pro rata accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer of 56.8m shares to raise approximately $33m (Entitlement Offer).
- Equity Raising being conducted at a fixed offer price (Offer Price) of $0.58 per share, representing a 11.5% discount to the last closing price of $0.655 per share on 17 April 2024.
- The Equity Raising follows the Company’s continued run of exploration success at the high-grade Never Never deposit and its very recent success with the discovery of the high-grade Pepper Prospect, including an intersection of 17.5m @ 15.9g/t1:
- Pepper sits perpendicular to Never Never just 90m to the south and displays the same “Never Never” style mineralisation characteristics;
- The Pepper discovery further validates Spartan’s exploration thesis for the Dalgaranga Gold Project and will be a key focus for its upcoming drilling campaign along with other key targets including Sly Fox, Four Pillars and West Wings.
- Proceeds from the Equity Raising to be used to underpin a significantly expanded exploration campaign at Dalgaranga in 2024/25, including:
- Accelerated Resource extension drilling at Never Never, Pepper and the broader Gilbey’s Complex including “lookalike” targets (Sly Fox, Four Pillars, West Wings);
- The development of an underground exploration decline, which is scheduled to commence in the second half of 2024; and
- Site infrastructure early works, general working capital, care and maintenance, tenement commitments and corporate and transaction costs.
- Spartan is well-funded with pro-forma cash position of $110m on completion of the Equity Raising2.
Spartan Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Simon Lawson, said:
“This is a landmark capital raising for Spartan which puts the Company in an exceptional position to deliver on the huge potential of the Never Never discovery and our other recent exploration successes at Dalgaranga.
“The proceeds will allow us to establish an underground exploration decline that will take underground development to within 50 to 100 metres of the Never Never orebody. This will allow us to cost effectively drill-out Never Never, the new Pepper discovery and Four Pillars to a very high level of definition, while also testing other ‘look-alike’ targets in the vicinity.
“Importantly, the underground exploration decline is also likely to provide for an accelerated pathway to re-commence mining at the time of a Final Investment Decision to re-start production. The Spartan team is committed to ensuring a thorough and diligent approach is taken to the delineation of the high-grade orebodies at Dalgaranga. The proceeds of this capital raise will ensure we have the balance sheet strength to progress our robust and thorough re-start plan, and the financial flexibility to commence early works in advance of the re-start decision.”

- For further information or to post questions go to the Flynn Gold Investor Hub at https://investorhub.flynngold.com.au/link/DP4MXy
Geological modelling of the multiple high-grade veins intersected in drilling at the Trafalgar Prospect in 2022/23 has been completed. The next phase of diamond drilling (Phase 3) has commenced to test in-fill and extensional drilling targets generated from the new geological model.
Managing Director and CEO, Neil Marston commented,
“Since the completion of drilling at the Trafalgar prospect at Golden Ridge in 2023, Flynn Gold has been undertaking geological modelling of the high-grade gold intersected in multiple vein sets.
“This modelling work, in combination with our recent soil sampling activities, demonstrates the potential for extensive gold mineralisation at Golden Ridge.
“Based on the latest information we have designed a program of drill holes with the goal being to target down-dip and along-strike extensions to previous high-grade gold intercepts.
“As gold prices hit record highs, it’s an exciting time for our team to be drilling this new Tasmanian gold discovery.”
Figure 1 - Location of Flynn Gold tenements in NE Tasmania.
Trafalgar Prospect – Geological Vein Model
A 3D geological vein model was recently completed for the Trafalgar prospect. The model interprets 3 main gold mineralised veins, accompanied by a network of subsidiary mineralised splay veins and sheeted vein swarms bifurcating off the main veins (see Figure 2).
All of the main mineralised veins transect the granodiorite – hornfelsed metasediments contact, with gold mineralisation hosted in both the granodiorite and metasediment host rocks.
