Drilling by High River Gold Mines (HRG-T) is extending the strike length of the Zone 5 target at the company’s Taparko project in Burkina Faso, West Africa.
Six recent holes intersected gold mineralization, with hole 124 hitting 9.4 metres grading 13.18 grams gold per tonne at a vertical depth of 25 metres, and hole 129 returning 8.18 grams over 6.5 metres at a depth of 100 metres.
Other results include 8.3 metres of 2.88 grams, 15.25 metres of 4.85 grams, 16.2 metres of 3.35 grams, and 21.95 metres of 4.03 grams.
Drilling is continuing at Zone 5, and an initial resource estimate is expected at the end of the current program.
In the meantime, exploration is testing other targets on the 1,200-sq.-km property. A gold discovery was reported in a new area, 15 km south of the Taparko structure. Assays from outcrop samples produced values ranging from 1.7 to 26.98 grams gold, and results from subsequent trenching and sampling are expected shortly.
High River is also testing its Birgui-Nabingou property, which is on-strike with the continuation of the Taparko structure some 5 km from the northern end of Zone 5.
