Kodal Minerals, the mineral exploration and development company focused on the Bougouni Lithium Project and its gold assets in West Africa, announced the receipt of all assay results for the recently completed reverse circulation ('RC') drilling at the Nielle Concession ('Nielle') located in northern Côte d'Ivoire. Kodal has completed the initial RC drilling programme at the Nielle concession consisting of a total of 12 drill holes for 1,285m. The drilling programme was designed to confirm the previous gold mineralised zones defined by Resolute Mining Limited ('Resolute'), the former joint venture partner, and targeted strike extensions and a first test of a western zone of surface geochemical anomalism. Gold mineralised intersections are associated with strong alteration, sulphide mineralisation and quartz-carbonate veining. The drill hole results confirm a gold mineralised system that remains open along strike and at depth. The presence of shallow gold mineralisation is reflected in the surface geochemical anomaly, and a review of the surface geochemical anomaly indicates that the full anomaly has not yet been tested. Follow-up and extension drilling is planned to continue to test the defined gold mineralised zone as well as continue to fully evaluate the geochemical anomaly. This initial drilling campaign has tested a strike length exceeding 1,000m, however drilling remains on a wide spacing, with sections up to 100m apart and drill collars up to 50m apart along sections. This will require infill to allow confidence in geological interpretation prior to advanced minerals resource estimation. The gold mineralisation intersected in this drilling campaign contains zones of high-grade mineralisation that will require interpretation to attempt to define potential high-grade gold mineralised shoots that may be important in future economic assessment.
