Predictive Discovery has identified three new gold-in-soil anomalies during recent geochemical sampling at the Boundiali joint venture project with Toro Gold in Cote D’Ivoire. They were identified in samples gathered during the sampling program.
The three gold anomalous zones - BN1, BN2, and BN3 - have a combined length of 7.7 kilometres within the previously defined 14-kilometre long zone of soil anomalies.
BN1 is 1.6 x 1.0 kilometres assaying up to 878ppb gold, BN2 is 3.0 x 0.4 kilometres assaying up to 873ppb gold, and BN3 is 3.1 x 0.2 kilometres assaying up to 648ppb gold.
A trenching program, totalling at least 2,000 metres is now underway to test highly anomalous parts of the soil anomalies.
Reverse circulation (RC) drilling is expected to commence once the trenching results have been received.
The Boundiali project consists of two permits – Boundiali North and Boundiali South.
The infill soil sampling program consisted of 4,386 samples collected on a 200x50-metre grid at Boundiali North.
This added to soil sampling results from November 2018 (2,157 samples) and August 2018 (1,356 samples).
About 10,000 metres of RC drilling on the Boundiali project is expected to begin this week.
The program will commence with infill drilling at the Nyangboue prospect within the Boundiali South permit.
The drill rig will then move up to Boundiali North to follow up results of the trenching which is currently underway.
Predictive expects the drilling program to be completed in the June quarter and assays to be revealed as they become available.
The new results come from part of the Toro Joint Venture’s exploration program in Cote D’Ivoire with a 2018-19 budget of about $4 million and a current focus on the Boundiali and Ferkessedougou North projects, each of which contain recent gold discoveries and excellent potential to find more gold mineralisation.
Predictive has interests in about 5,000 square kilometres of highly-prospective landholdings across the world-class Birimian greenstone belts of Cote D’Ivoire.
