West African Resources (ASX: WAF) has intersected broad copper-gold mineralisation from diamond drilling at its Sartenga copper-gold discovery, part of the Boulsa project in Burkina Faso.
Several broad intersections were assayed, including a 231 metre hit at 0.6% copper equivalent with 21 metres at 1.1% copper equivalent.
Diamond drilling with two company-owned rigs is continuing at Sartenga, focusing on defining higher grade breccia zones along the south-eastern margin of the deposit.
Further assay results are imminent, and a grade and tonnage resource upgrade is expected prior to year' end.
In addition, aircore drilling has commenced at the Moktedu Prospect, with first results expected by mid-November.
West Africa also notes that the transaction with Channel Resources announced on the 14th of August is progressing on schedule, with completion of the merger expected by the end of November.
Channel is the owner of the Tanlouka gold project immediately adjacent to West African’s Moktedu prospect, within the Boulsa project. Resource definition drilling will commence here upon completion of the acquisition.
