Mako’s Managing Director, Peter Ledwidge commented:

“We are once again very pleased to be reporting on more good results from our extensional drilling program at the Gogbala Prospect. We are excited by our discovery of two new emerging mineralised zones at Gogbala as these present high-priority targets which have the potential to expand the resource when we resume drilling at Gogbala following the maiden MRE.

It is highly encouraging that 36 of the 43 holes drilled returned significant gold results and we are consistently achieving a high success rate in our drilling.

Mako management recently travelled to the projects in Côte d’Ivoire, and we are extremely pleased with the high calibre and performance of our exploration team. Our inspection of the drill core and RC chips as well as our field visits to the Napié and Korhogo projects continue to underline the potential to further expand inventory at Mako’s projects.
