AMN - BURKINA FASO: Tanlouka produces high grade results

Gold developer West African Resources has reported further high-grade RC results from the M1 prospect, at its 100%-owned Tanlouka gold project in Burkina Faso.

Highlights:

-          RC drilling returns 9 metres at 9.7 grams/tonne gold from 112 metres, including 1 metre at 61.7grams/tonne gold

-          Results over 300 metre strike, open to the northwest

-          Further round of step-out drilling at M1 North planned

-          Drilling in progress at M1 South – assays pending

-          Feasibility study started – funded by $12.5 million oversubscribed institutional capital raising

Managing director Richard Hyde says: “Deeper RC drilling in the northwest of the M1 prospect has delivered strong results with TAN16-RC141 returning 9 metres at 9.7 grams/tonne gold from 112 metres, including 1 metre at 61.7 grams/tonne gold.

TAN16-RC141 is on the north-western limit of M1 North. Mineralisation is open along strike to the northwest, and will be tested with step-out drilling.

“New results confirm continuity of high grade open-pitable gold mineralisation at the M1 North prospect over at least 300 metres."

Drilling is in progress at M1 South. Further results are imminent.

Drilling has been completed over 300 metres of strike at M1 North targeting results from early 2016, many of which returned lower than expected results due to holes intercepting open stopes and backfill material. All results have been reported for the current drilling program at M1 North. A follow-up RC and diamond core program is in progress at M1 South.

Latest results are presented below include:

-          TAN16-RC138: 15 metres at 1.25 grams/tonne gold from 76 metres

-          TAN16-RC139: 7 metres at 1.91 grams/tonne gold from 101 metres

-          TAN16-RC140: 4 metres at 1.61 grams/tonne gold from 76 metres and 7 metres at 1.63 grams/tonne gold from 99 metres

-          TAN16-RC141: 10 metres at 0.72 grams/tonne gold from 82 metres, and

-          TAN16-RC141: 9 metres at 9.66 grams/tonne gold from 112 metres, including 1 metre at 61.65 grams/tonne gold

-          TAN16-RC142: 11 metres at 1.48 grams/tonne gold from 73 metres

-          TAN16-RC143: 6 metres at 3.35 grams/tonne gold from 111 metres.
