Toronto, Ontario, June 25, 2018 – Compass Gold Corp. (TSX-V:CVB) (Compass or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on exploration programs on the their Ouassada and Sankarani exploration permits in Southern Mali.
Highlights
● Fieldwork on five induced polarization (IP) survey lines, totaling 18 kilometers, has started to cover the deep auger soil sampling anomalies previously identified on the Ouassada permit
● A deep auger soil sampling program has been initiated over the Sodala shallow soil anomaly (2 km x 5 km) on the Sankarani permit
● 7,521 shallow soil samples from priority areas at Kalé, Kourou, Tiélouléna, and infill areas at Sankarani are at the assay laboratory
● Deep drilling targeting studies are ongoing, which will be finalized when the IP and auger drilling programs are completed in July
Compass CEO, Larry Phillips, commented, “We are pushing to complete our exploration work on our Sikasso property area prior to the rainy season. The deep soil auger drilling program at Sodala will aid our understanding of this exciting new gold target and provide valuable information about the extent of the near surface mineralization. We will use the information gathered from this near surface work as well as the current IP survey on Ouassada to help refine our initial bedrock targets, which we plan to begin drilling in October. The drilling will help determine the nature, grade and extent of the gold mineralization in the bedrock.
We are also eagerly anticipating the results from our shallow soil sample programs from Kalé, Kourou and Tiélouléna, as these relatively underexplored permits contain numerous geophysical and structural targets identified from recent studies.”
