Stellar AfricaGold Inc. announce that it has completed the eleven-trench exploration program at its Namanara Gold Project in southwest Mali and that the project is now ready for a planned 2,500 meter drill program. Eleven mechanized trenches across Zone 3, 4, 5 and 6. All zones anomalous for gold. Trench T3-3 4.11 g/t Au over 7.0 meters including 26.60 g/t Au over 1.0 meter Trench T4-2 2.90 g/t Au over 16 meters including 6.24 g/t Au over 3 meters; and 2.34 g/t Au over 6 meters including 3.47 g/t Au over 2 meters T4 site is a confirmed 300 meters long high-grade gold discovery; the structure that remains open in all directions. 2,500 meter Phase 1 drill program planned A total of eleven trenches were cut across the gold bearing structures Zone 3, 4, 5 and 6 identified during the 2021 reconnaissance program which evaluated the artisan mining sites inside the Namarana Permit. Five trenches were cut on site #T4, four trenches on site #T3 and two trenches on site #T6. One trench was attempted on each of site #T5 and #T2 but overburden was greater than three meters which prevented the excavator from reaching the mineralized laterite. All 11 trenches were dug to an average depth of 2,5 meters, mapped and sampled at 1,0-meter intervals for a total of 648 samples collected and 77 standards, duplicates and blanks sent to the lab for assay.
As announced March, 30th 2022, the results from Zone # T4 confirm the discovery of an extensive gold mineralized corridor with high gold grades over substantial width and open in both directions and at depth justifying a drill program. Trenching of T4 to the SE of Trench T4-5 with an impressive 11.48g/t over 4.0 meters was stopped while still in mineralization due to overburden depth to laterite.
