Proactive’s Tylah Tully breaks down ‘Just the Facts’ of the latest news from Apollo Minerals Ltd.
Apollo has begun Phase 2 drilling at the Salanie Gold Project in Gabon, following positive results from previous drilling.
Past drilling intersected high-grade gold, including 11.7 metres at 4.3 g/t gold from 9.6 metres, with visible gold in quartz veining and assays reaching up to 124 g/t gold.
The Phase 2 program will focus on extending mineralisation at the A1 Prospect and testing additional targets at A2, A3 and P6.
Previous results at A1 include 5.8 metres at 8.2 g/t from 15.5 metres within a broader zone of 11.7 metres at 4.3 g/t from 9.6 metres. The company highlights that mineralisation remains open along strike and dip.
Regional prospects will also be tested through first-pass reconnaissance drilling. Apollo Minerals expects the program to further confirm Salanie’s potential as a high-grade gold discovery.
The company has stated its enthusiasm for the next phase of drilling, initially focusing on three high-priority target areas with historical high-grade mining activity and visible gold already identified at surface and in drilling at A1.
