Robex Resources Inc. announced the ramp up of its exploration drilling campaign for 2023. Robex engaged Forage FTE Guinée for its exploration program over the past few months at Kiniero. Forage FTE mobilised two Schramm T450 drill rigs to undertake a minimum 50,000m Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling campaign, which commenced on 2 March 2023.

Robex is focusing drilling in the south of Kiniero first, then to the north: Following on from the (i) discovery of Sabali South, as well as (ii) the exciting results at Mansounia Central and at the SGA/Jean deposits3, Robex is planning to drill out known extensions of the southern Kiniero deposits, which will be drilled with a dedicated Forage FTE RC drill rig. Most of the drilling will be concentrated in this area (> 40,000 meters). This ramp-up in drilling is an additional program to the trenching done at Kiniero over the past few months.

This has included a (i) >1,000 meters of trenching since January 2023; and (ii) 7,727 meters power auger geochemical drilling campaign (5,287 meters of which was performed in year-to-date March 2023) at previously undrilled near-plant (<3km) targets, for which assays are awaited. In addition, a maiden exploration drilling campaign in the north of the Kiniero License will be executed in second quarter of 2023. Drill planning will be guided by historical exploration results (drilling and trenching), and by the recently returned BLEG results and reconnaissance field mapping campaigns.

Drilling will be reconnaissance by design, complimenting historical exploration, and has been planned to initially be completed at the Mankan and Heriko deposits - two known deposits that are situated 15km directly along strike on the same mineralised super structure as the neighbouring Predictive Discovery Bankan deposit. Sample preparation will be undertaken at the recently commissioned site based WESTAGO SARL at the Kiniero Gold Mine. Fire assay services will be provided by the internationally accredited ALS Laboratory in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

The use of WESTAGO will streamline cross-border sample dispatches, increase frequency of sample dispatches and improve turn- around-time on assay results, allowing for more focussed results-driven drilling to be completed.
