Turaco Gold Drills High-Grade Gold at Bouake North
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Turaco Gold (ASX: TCG) reported gold assay results from its first reconnaissance style drilling undertaken at the Bouake North prospect, within the company’s Eburnea project in central Côte d’Ivoire.
Turaco Gold had previously identified a large 7km by 4km gold-in-soil anomaly at Bouake North via auger drilling across the entire anomaly defining six in-situ gold anomalies.
Subsequent reconnaissance style drilling has to date tested just two of these targets and has returned high-grade, shallow gold, including:
BNRC008
3 metres at 35.79 grams per tonne gold from 40m;
BNRC001
2m at 3.94g/t gold from 27m;
BNRC004
8m at 1.44g/t gold from 56m; and
BNAC0115
7m at 1.82g/t gold from surface, including 4m at 3.07g/t gold from 3m.
Drilling has tested just two of six auger anomalies defined at Bouake North and assays are currently pending from a further recently completed 61 AC holes.
“We have delineated widespread gold anomalism at Bouake North and are pleased that first-pass, shallow drilling has confirmed the high-grade gold potential of the prospect,” Turaco Gold managing director Justin Tremain said in the company’s ASX announcement.
“Further drill results are pending with an active exploration program planned to continue over the near-term.
“Turaco currently has over 7,000 samples at the laboratory from drilling across the Eburnea and Tongon North projects and looks forward to reporting ongoing drill results over the coming months.”
