West African Resources Limited reported high grades and extensive visible gold have been intercepted in the deep diamond drilling beneath reserves at the M1 South deposit, Sanbrado Gold Project, Burkina Faso. Deep drilling at the M1 South Deposit has further intercepted high-grade gold and has extended the depth of known mineralisation greater than 900m below surface, and more than 400m below the current underground Ore Reserve (Figure 1 and Photo 1). Drill hole TAN20-DD238 has closed off mineralisation on the north-western boundary of mineralisation at approximately 600m below surface. Drill holes TAN20-DD237 and TAN20-DD239 have extended mineralisation 40m and 80m, respectively, to the northwest of TAN20-DD235 at more than 900m vertical. Mineralisation currently remains open to the southeast and northwest and at depth. New drilling has reinforced WAF's geological model for M1 South and confirmed the predictable geometry of the main high-grade gold zone more than 900m below surface. Following the last drilling release TAN20-DD235, which ended in low grade mineralisation, was re-entered and extended a further 62.2m to 1323.5m. The whole interval was check assayed using 50g Fire Assay with a gravimetric finish and returned 7m at 20 g/t gold from 1238m. A further two deep holes are currently in progress at down hole depths of 980m (TAN20-DD240) and 330m (TAN20-DD241) to the southeast and northwest, respectively, which will be completed and assessed before geological models and resources are updated for M1 South, and a decision is made whether further drilling will be undertaken to close off mineralisation. Reporting of resources, reserves, and the updated life of mine production profile for Sanbrado, originally scheduled for release in fourth quarter of 2020, will now be released in first quarter of 2021 to allow the current drilling program to be completed and any further results to be assessed and incorporated into the resource estimates.
