In December 2000, Semafo sank 18 holes to follow up trenching completed last summer. Trenching was carried out to test stream-sediment anomalies throughout the property.
Dubbed Wona, the zone strikes for more than 1 km and extends to a depth of 100 metres in places. Results for 15 of the 18 drill holes for which results are available include 9 metres averaging 6.3 grams, 9 metres averaging 5.4 grams and 29 metres averaging 3.14 grams. Mineralization appears to be hosted by three structures of highly deformed acidic tuffs. Silification and quartz-veining occur locally.
The Wona zone lies about 7 km north of the Nyafe deposit, where 1 million tonnes grading 8.5 grams gold per tonne have been outlined. Both zones remain open in all directions.
An induced-polarization survey has detected anomalies extending from Wona, as well as a separate anomaly to the east, but both have yet to be tested.
