AMN - GHANA: High-grade gold results from Wa

Azumah Resources has received another batch of high-grade rock chip sampling results from new areas of interest at the Julie West licence in the Wa East region of its flagship Wa Gold Project in Ghana.

Additional reconnaissance stage mapping and rock chip sampling returned high-grade values, including 60.0 g/t, 37.7 g/t, 26.1 g/t, 18.8 g/t, 16.9 g/t, 12.3 g/t and 11.4 g/t gold, adding to previous samples of 17.4 g/t, 4.01 g/t, 3.93 g/t, 3.63 g/t, 2.48 g/t, 2.29 g/t, 2.03 g/t and 1.72g/t gold.

Follow-up trenching at the new JW5 target, which is 300 metres southwest of and on the same northeast trending structure that hosts the high-grade 12,800 ounce Danyawu deposit, identified a 9-metre wide mineralised quartz vein containing a high-grade intercept of 2m at 27.9g/t gold.

These latest results confirm mineralisation is extremely widespread across the 142sqkm Julie West licence.

The Julie West acquisition in 2016 was part of Azumah’s push to expand its footprint within the highly prospective West African shield to about 2400sqkm and is consistent with the company’s near-term growth strategy to lift mineral resources from 2.1 million to 3 million ounces of gold and ore reserves from 620,000 ounces to 1 million ounces.

Azumah’s Managing Director Stephen Stone said he was very pleased with the latest results from the Wa East region of the company’s landholdings.

“Julie West now stands as an excellent project in its own right and continues to excite our geological team, who keep finding new zones of mineralisation,” he said.

“There is considerably more work to be undertaken at Wa East and we have the right team with a strong track record of discovery to deliver additional ounces.”

Drilling campaigns are being designed to test and extend the recently discovered mineralisation at a growing pipeline of targets at Julie West and in the Wa East region generally.
