Mako Gold Ltd (ASX:MKG) managing director Peter Ledwidge joins Proactive’s Tylah Tully to discuss the company’s high-grade gold mineralisation at the Komboro prospect within the Napié Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire.
Reconnaissance sampling has returned rock chip results, including a bonanza-grade sample of up to 170 g/t gold, with other notable results of 41.92 g/t, 6.27 g/t, 4.63 g/t and 3.48 g/t gold. These results indicate the strong potential of this northern section of the project to contribute to the existing mineral resource.
Mako Gold is optimistic that this new high-grade zone at Komboro could add to the current 868,000-ounce resource. A drill program is planned to further explore the area, especially under a prior reverse circulation (RC) drilling target that produced 1-metre at 30.47 g/t gold. The ongoing mapping and rock chip sampling program is expected to provide additional targets for resource expansion.
Previous drilling in the area has returned significant results, such as 9 metres at 3.26 g/t gold, including 3 metres at 7.29 g/t gold and 1 metre at 30.47 g/t gold. Mako Gold believes there is considerable untapped potential at Komboro, with only 21 RC holes drilled so far over a 6-kilometre by 6-kilometre area.
