West African Resources Limited reported extensive zones of gold mineralisation intercepted in first pass drilling at the MV3 prospect located 6km from the Sanbrado Gold Operations (Sanbrado), Burkina Faso. First pass RC and diamond drilling is underway at the MV3 prosect, located 6km northwest of the Sanbrado mine site, Burkina Faso. A total of 68 holes for 8,329m have been drilled to date.

Drilling at MV3 East has returned extensive gold mineralisation associated with mylonitic zones and silica-sericite alteration. Mineralisation has been intercepted in drilling over a strike length of 800m. Significant results from WAF's first pass drilling program include: MAK22-RC002: 2m at 19.9 g/t Au from 40m; MAK22-RC004: 8m at 3.6 g/t Au from 80m; MAK22-RC005: 11m at 2.5 g/t Au from 72m; MAK22-RC007: 14m at 3 g/t Au from 113m; MAK22-RC033: 13m at 5.3 g/t Au from 110m; MAK22-RC034: 4m at 15.1 g/t Au from 79m; MAK22-RC035: 2m at 31.8 g/t Au from 83m.

MV3 Main Anomaly: To date 5 wide-spaced lines of RC drilling (MAK22-RC008 - 032) have been completed at the MV3 Main prospect. Results so far have returned broad low-grade results with intermittent narrow results above 0.5 g/t Au. While results are not that significant to date, they confirm a source for the auger anomaly.

MV3 Main results to date include: MAK22-RC011: 33m at 0.32 g/t Au from 3m; MAK22-RC012: 13m at 0.22 g/t Au from 4m; MAK22-RC012: 11m at 0.31 g/t Au from 24m; MAK22-RC013: 14m at 0.21 g/t Au from 45m; MAK22-RC016: 14m at 0.20 g/t Au from 5m; MAK22-RC019: 22m at 0.21 g/t Au from 57m; MAK22-RC020: 11m at 0.26 g/t Au from 12m; MAK22-RC029: 13m at 0.39 g/t Au from 87m; MAK22-RC031: 25m at 0.27 g/t Au from 29m. Drilling to date at MV3 East has focussed on areas that are accessible beneath historic artisanal workings (50 ­ 120m downhole). Recent earthworks have backfilled the artisanal sites and the company currently targeting mineralisation near surface (0 ­ 50m) along the current 800m known strike of the Geochem anomaly, historic drilling and artisanal workings.

Further results are pending. Further drilling targeting the higher-grade results from MV3 East is being prioritised at the present time. At MV3 Main, additional drilling to the north of recent RC lines is expected to be undertaken in the future to complete testing the auger anomaly.
