Mako’s Managing Director, Peter Ledwidge commented:

“We are very pleased to be reporting on yet more good results from our extensional drilling program at the Gogbala Prospect. We are particularly pleased that 35 of 39 holes drilled returned significant gold results and that 3 of the 4 holes with no significant results (NSR) were RC pr-collars which we will diamond tail to reach the target depth. The high success rate of our drilling indicates that our exploration team has a thorough understanding of the deposit at Gogbala, which will contribute to resource growth both pre and post MRE.

The ongoing positive drill results also confirmsthe prospectivity of the Gogbala Prospect and will add potential ounces to the upcoming maiden MRE scheduled for Q2-CY22.
