West African Resources Limited reported final assay results from the maiden grade control (GC) reverse circulation (RC) drilling program from its M5 deposit at the Sanbrado Gold Project in Burkina Faso. GC holes drilled to date at M5 have targeted early production tonnes from near surface mineralisation within the M5 stage 1 oxide open pit. The maiden GC drilling program has recently been completed at the M5 deposit, ahead of the start if mining of the stage 1 open pit in First Quarter 2020. Drilling was aimed at upgrading the confidence level in both the interpretation as well as gold grade estimation in the upper 20m of the deposit. This program covers the first 6 months of scheduled open pit ore from M5. Drilling was completed on a nominal 12.5m by 12.5m pattern over the stage 1 pit area, with two areas of tighter spaced 12.5m by 6.25m spaced drilling to test the independently prepared April 2019 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE).
