DRILLING - DETAILED INFORMATION
Resolute has provided the following description and images from their work: In late
The drilling targeted the interpreted eastern down dip extension of the mineralised granitoid intrusive. Drilling successfully defined the granitoid intrusion as striking for 150m, dipping moderately to the east for over 200m, 60 to 100m thick and open at depth. The controlling mineralised structure continues to the north and south, outside of the main tonalite intrusion.
Trenching and drilling programs to date on the permit have intersected a sheared sedimentary package of argillites and sandstones, variably intruded by granitoid dykes. Mineralised zones have been defined as an upper hangingwall contact; basal footwall contact and central zone, and consist of silica-chlorite-biotite-sericite and ankerite-hematite alteration assemblages, quartz veining and disseminated pyrite, with variably developed, local structurally controlled high grade zones within these broader envelopes, defined by intense brecciation, silica flooding, styolitic and disseminated pyrite, and milky and smoky grey quartz vein stockworks.
NEXT STEPS
An infill and extension program has been planned to further test the down dip extent of the system and improve understanding of the grade distribution and potential internal high-grade plunges. Continuing review and interpretation of the regional results may show other areas along strike on the main structure of other intrusives or potential traps for the mineralising fluids.
FERKESSEDOUGOU NORTH PROJECT BACKGROUND
In 2016, soil sampling at Ferkessedougou North revealed a 17km-long zone of gold-in-soil anomalies. Follow-up trenching in 2017 and reconnaissance RC drilling in 2018 revealed widespread gold mineralisation mainly in altered sheared granite bodies, with a series of drill intercepts from the Ouarigue South prospect extending over more than 1km of strike and including a best intercept of 25m at 3.06g/t gold from 64m, including 4m at 13.78g/t gold.
