Montreal-listed West African Mining Exploration has started a 4,000-metre program of reverse-circulation drilling on its 51.3-sq.-km Teleku-Bokazo property in Ghana.
The program follows 1 km of trenching over a large
(1-km-long-by-300-metre-wide) geochemical anomaly near the town of Anwia. Continuous, 1-metre-long channel samples were taken from trenches at a depth of 2 metres below surface. The trenching indicates that potential ore-grade gold values are associated with quartz vein stockworks hosted in Birimian volcanic and sedimentary rocks.
Trench 4 returned assays averaging 1.34 grams gold per tonne across 295 metres. Included in this trench was a 113-metre section that averaged 2.27 grams and a 90-metre interval that assayed 1.27 grams. Trench 5, cut at right angles to Trench 4, assayed 1.54 grams across 177 metres and included a 118-metre section that averaged 2.15 grams.
West African Mining will complete additional trenching and geochemical sampling over the property. The company can earn a 100% interest, subject to a 1% net smelter return royalty held by Vauquelin Mines (ME).
