Equal joint-venture partners West Africa Mining Exploration (SMF-T) and Emerging Africa Gold (EAGI-C) have received encouraging drill results from their Jean-Gobele gold property in Guinea.
During 1996, the partners drilled 58 holes to an average depth of 80 metres. The holes were drilled at regular intervals along strike into the Gobele vein system.
At least 12 holes intersected gold mineralization grading more than 2 grams per tonne. The results prove the continuity of the vein over a length of 700 metres and confirm the existence of a geochemical anomaly that has been outlined across a strike length of at least 1.4 km.
The best results include: 14 metres (from 30 to 44 metres) grading 4.38 grams gold in hole 31; 9.5 metres (from 35.5 to 45 metres) of 33.78 grams in hole 32; 18 metres (from 23 to 41 metres) of 5.4 grams in hole 34; 5 metres (from 71.5 to 76.5 metres) of 4.13 grams in hole 41; and another 7 metres (from 87.5 to 94.5 metres) of 3.13 grams in hole 41.
The partners have begun sampling extensions of the Gobele vein system and drilling 37 holes to a depth of 50 metres into the Jean vein system.
