Boss Resources (ASX: BOE) has intercepted highly promising gold mineralisation in all five holes drilled at the Gariaga Prospect in Burkina Faso which yielded widths of up to 14 metres and grades of up to 11.3 grams per tonne (g/t).
The maiden aircore drilling program within the Fada N’Gourma Greenstone Belt in eastern Burkina Faso was designed to test for primary gold mineralisation beneath three strike extensive multi-element supported >15 parts per billion gold in soil anomalies within the Diabatou and Foutouri permits.
Highlights include 14 metres at 2.1g/t gold from 1 metre; 3 metres at 11.3g/t gold from 5 metres; 7 metres at 2g/t gold from 19 metres; 3 metres at 2.3g/t gold from 45 metres; and 2 metres at 3.2g/t gold from 29 metres.
Importantly, multiple mineralised zones remain open at depth and along strike to the northeast and southwest.
Continuous gold mineralisation in multiple zones is now possible over a 3.8 kilometre strike length.
The next phase of drilling will test the several zones of gold mineralisation discovered at depth, as well as infill at 100-metre line spacing.
This will include testing the mineralised trend along strike to the southwest towards the Diabatou prospect, across an area of transported alluvium associated with a drainage system.
Assays for the Bohongou and Foutouri prospects are still pending.
