West African Resources (ASX: WAF) has boosted the potential of the Moktedu Trend in the resource evolving Burkina Faso, by extending the strike by 3 kilometres to 8 kilometres, with the company's landholding increasing to around 6165 square kilometres.
The strike is supported by a coincident magnetic trend, with WAF auger drilling and historic soil sampling peaking at 83 parts per billion gold.
West African already has a data review underway, with pattern auger drilling to commence in October 2011 following the country's wet season.
Moktedu can be considered highly prospective due to being strategically located adjacent to the Orezone Gold Corp (TSE: ORE) 3.5 million gold ounce Bomboré Deposit.
West African's landholding increase is through 100% ownership, applications and agreements to earn 100% ownership.
Previous high grade results from Moktedu include:
- 28 metres at 9.22 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from the surface, including 8 metres at 31.67g/t gold;
- 8 metres at 10.67g/t gold from 12 metres; and
- 13 metres at 4.60g/t gold from 20 metres, including 5 metres at 11.66g/t gold.
