Highlights:
- Orezone Gold Corporation provided initial drill results from its Bomboré gold mine exploration campaign.
- Drilling in the North Zone showed the continuity of the mineralized system at depth.
- Key drill intercepts included significant gold grades and widths from below the reserve pit.
Orezone Gold Corporation (TSX:ORE) is focused on its flagship Bomboré gold mine, which is located in West Africa. The company recently shared the first results from a multi-year exploration campaign aimed at expanding its gold resource. The latest drilling campaign specifically targeted the North Zone of the Bomboré mine, which is known for its promising gold mineralization.
Drilling Results Indicate Strong Continuity
The initial phase of drilling concentrated on widely spaced sections, aiming to confirm the extension of the mineralized system at greater depths. Early findings have shown that the gold system continues deeper than previously mapped, both in terms of grade and overall width. These early-stage results are key for Orezone, as they shed light on the potential for further resource expansion.
Notable Drill Intersections from the North Zone
The key intersections reported include significant gold grades at considerable depths. One drill hole returned over fifty meters of gold mineralization at just over one gram per ton, starting from a substantial depth below the reserve pit. Another intersected over forty meters at a higher grade, also from a notable depth. These results provide a clearer picture of the deposit's potential below the surface.
Next Steps for the Bomboré Project
With these initial drill results in hand, Orezone Gold Corporation is poised to continue its exploration efforts in the North Zone, with the goal of further expanding the gold resource. The company has indicated that the ongoing drilling program will help guide future resource estimations and mine planning.
