Azumah confirms gold between Kunche and Bepkong

/in /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Azumah Resources has received encouraging results from a follow-up drilling program conducted between its adjacent flagship Kunche and Bepkong deposits in northwest Ghana.

The company said the results support the likelihood of the delineation of new, shallow open pitable resources close to the proposed location of its Wa gold project processing plant.

Best intercepts received from the combined 139 RC holes include:

–    3m at 9.17g/t gold from 27m;

–    10m at 4.43g/t gold from 140m;

–    4m at 4.43g/t gold from 43m;

–    8m at 4.18g/t gold from 40m;

–    6m at 2.78g/t gold from 23m;

–    4m at 10.33g/t gold from 47m;

–    14m at 2.15g/t gold from 62m; and

–    4m at 9.34g/t gold from 20m.

“These results reinforce the company’s increasing belief that the Kunche and Bepkong deposits are components of a larger system of interconnected mineralised structures, and therefore the strong likelihood of an increase to the current Indicated Mineral Resource of 646,000 ounces of gold and Inferred Mineral Resource of 518,900 ounces of gold at the Wa gold project.” Azumah Resources managing director Stephen Stone said in the company’s announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

“A new phase of RC drilling will commence shortly to evaluate continuity of the mineralisation and to follow-up other intersections off the main Aduane trend.”

Azumah considers the recent results imply mineralisation intersected at the Bepkong South and Aduane prospects may sit at either end of a 1.5 kilometre north-northwest trending zone of surface geochemical anomalism.

It pointed to the intercepts of 10m at 4.43g/t gold from 140m, and 6m at 2.78g/t gold from 23m, which it considers to indicate a suggested continuity to the mineralisation.

The company said it has already seen this association of mineralisation with a north-northwest trend at the northern end of Kunche, which hosts consistent mineralisation over 1.4km, and on the eastern margin of Bepkong.

Azumah also highlighted the 4m at 10.33g/t gold from 47m, and 4m at 9.34g/t gold from 20m mineralised intercepts offset from the Aduane trend, could also possibly indicate parallel or other mineralised structures.
