Goldrush starts 6,500 metre rotary air blast drilling program at Pompoi
Goldrush Resources (CVE:GOD) said Monday a rotary air blast (RAB) drill program has begun on its Pompoi permit in Burkina Faso, West Africa, marking the second phase of the company's exploration campaign at the site.
The property, adjacent to the eastern border of the Yaramoko permit held by Roxgold (CVE:ROG), rests 185 kilometres west southwest of Ouagadougou.
The 6,500-metre RAB drilling program is a follow-up on the recent discovery of two gold anomalies detected in 400-metre by 200-metre soil sampling, the company said in a statement.
In the southwest corner, and in the northwest to north central area of the permit, soil sampling partly defined two anomalies of more than 13 parts per billion (ppb) gold, which contained 11 anomalous gold values, with individual high values up to 504 ppb.
Goldrush said the southwest anomaly had been traced over a north-south distance of 1,600 metres and an east-west range of 1,400 metres to the Pompoi-Yaramoko permit boundary. The anomalous area is 2.9 kilometres due east of Roxgold's recent Baggasi Central 55 Zone high grade gold discovery, the company said.
According to October news releases from Roxgold, diamond drilling on the 55 Zone intersected strong mineralization, including 53.56 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over eight metres in hole YRM-11-DDH-021.
Further, a single soil sampling assay of 903 ppb gold was found next to the Pompoi-Yaramoko permit boundary, about 700 metres north of Goldrush’s southwest gold-in-soil anomaly.
Meanwhile, the northwest anomaly on Pompoi covers a north-south distance of 2,000 metres and an east-west range of 1,400 metres, and is 2 kilometres east of the Pompoi-Yaramoko permit boundary.
Goldrush, a Vancouver-based mineral explorer, concentrates on gold exploration in West Africa where the company is currently expanding and defining the Ronguen gold deposit in Burkina Faso. The deposit has an inferred resource of 5.9 million tonnes, grading 1.31 grams per tonne of gold.
