Highlights
- Completed 13 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes at Farabakoura artisanal workings, totalling 1,928 m
- Intercepted gold mineralization in three holes, increasing the known strike length of the mineralized system to 500 m, which remains open along strike
- Visible gold noted in RC chips (OURC017)
- Best interval: 32 m @ 3.02 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) from 24 m, including 6 m @ 10.21 g/t Au
- 3,000 m drilling program is planned at Farabakoura to test additional targets
Compass CEO, Larry Phillips, said, “This latest drilling has extended our primary target zone, the Farabakoura Pit Zone, to a length of over 500 m, and the structure remains open to the southeast. We now have a clearer understanding of the rock types and structures that are the main controls on mineralization. We will use this information to drill additional targets underlying the extensive Farabakoura artisanal workings. A 3,000 metre drill program with our strategic partner, Capital Drilling, will commence immediately.”
