ALGOLD RESOURCES LTD. announced additional assay results from diamond (DDH) and reverse-circulation (RC) drilling carried out on its Tijirit property (Tijirit) in Mauritania as part of the corporation's Phase III 30,000-meter drilling program completed on August 25, 2017. The results, which include 6.14 g/t Au over 4 meters, continue to demonstrate the high-grade nature and the continuity of the mineralization, both near surface and at depth, over the 3.5-kilometer strike length of the Eleonore zone. Additionally, drilling results from the Lily and Sophie zones extended the width of the mineralization, thereby continuing to add significant gold ounces to the Tijirit project. Highlights: T17RC179 (Eleonore South) - 6.14 g/t Au over 4 m, including 21.30 g/t Au over 1 m, approximately 125 meters below the surface; T17RC146 (Eleonore South) - 2.75 g/t Au over 8 m, approximately 115 meters below the surface; T17DD010 (Eleonore South) - 7.74 g/t Au over 2.10 m, which is approximately 50 meters from T16RC104 (4.25 g/t Au over 3 m), extended the strike length of mineralized zone. T17DD018 (Lily) - 0.37 g/t Au over 111 m, including 1.11 g/t Au over 19.55 m, from 36.35 meters core length. T17RC177 (Lily) - 0.34 g/t Au over 179 m, including 1.01 g/t Au over 17 m, from 138 meters hole length. This hole and subsequent holes drilled in the Lily area demonstrate the pervasive low-grade mineralization of the Lily gold zone.
