Mako Gold Limited advised that the second drill rig has commenced drilling on the Tchaga Prospect while the other rig continues to drill on the Gogbala Prospect at the Company's Napié Project in Côte d'Ivoire. Tchaga and Gogbala are located on a +23km soil geochemical anomaly and coincident 30km-long Napié Fault. TCHAGA DRILLING: The second rig is a diamond drill and will be used for deeper holes which cannot be drilled with RC. Multiple RC pre-collars have already been drilled in anticipation of reaching the deeper targets with the DD rig. All drilling planned at Tchaga is extensional drilling and not infill drilling which means that any significant mineralisation intersected should add potential ounces to the upcoming maiden MRE. The areas of focus for extensional drilling are outlined with blue arrows on Figure 2. Drilling is targeting mineralised zone extensions to the SW and at depth, as well as new zones south of the seasonal watercourse. Select significant results from previous drilling at Tchaga include1: 10m at 18.98g/t Au from 7m in NARC486, 41m at 4.51g/t Au from 17m in NARC216, 32m at 7.1g/t Au from 13m in NARC184, 13m at 20.82g/t Au from 32m in NARC145, 9m at 22.73g/t Au from 36m in NARC184, 36m at 3.09g/t Au from 43m in NARC107, 28m at 4.86g/t Au from 83m in NARC057, 26m at 4.34g/t au from surface in NARC214, 25m at 3.43g/t Au from 53m in NARC017, 14m at 5.46g/t Au from surface in NARC124, 18m at 3.25g/t Au from 39m in NARC080 23m at 2.46g/t Au from 15m in NARC084, 17m at 3.06g/t Au from 129m in NARC404DD, 7.7m at 11.65g/t Au from 169m in NARC058DD, 2m at 24.06g/t Au from 112m in NARC542, 4m at 8.24g/t Au from 70m in NARC130. GOGBALA DRILLING - Drilling is ongoing at Gogbala with priority drilling targeting large untested zones along strike of recent and previous shallow, wide and high-grade intercepts south of the section which returned 35m at 1.72g/t Au and 20m at 1.92g/t Au, outlined in a white rectangle on Figure 4, as previously announced 1. No drilling has been completed south of this section on the western splay of the 30km-long Napié fault. Indications that mineralisation continues to the south include a portion of the permit-scale +40ppb soil anomaly shown in yellow, as well as an Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical chargeability high anomaly shaded purple on Figure 4. These coincident anomalies validate and further prioritise this target. Select significant results from previous drilling at Gogbala include: 20m at 3.41g/t Au from 19m in NARC531, 12m at 5.39g/t Au from 11m in NARC035, 7m at 6.70g/t Au from 6m in NARC518, 35m at 1.72g/t Au from 43m in NARC553, 23m at 1.81g/t Au from 19m in NARC535, 20m at 1.92g/Au from 33m in NARC552, 8m at 4.29g/t Au from 82m in NARC532, 2m at 16.81g/t Au from 2m and 5m at 2.12g/t Au from 19m in NARC066, 6m at 4.97g/t Au from 68m in NARC317, 8m at 2.87g/t Au from 49m in NARC524, 9m at 2.52g/t Au from 55m in NARC534, 3m at 6.40g/t Au from 58m in NARC313.
