Drilling by Battle Mountain Gold (BMG-T) at the Dunkwa property in Ghana has extended the Mampon gold deposit at depth.
Battle Mountain, the operator, is acquiring a 65% interest in the project from Birim Goldfields (BGI-T) by spending US$5 million over four years.
Results have been released for holes 20 through 23, representing a total of 840 metres. Of these, holes 20, 21 and 23 tested the main structure hosting the Mampon deposit, with the other hole testing a near-surface target as a follow-up to soil sampling carried out south of the main area of mineralization.
The best intersection, seen in hole 23, returned 7.7 metres (from 316 metres) grading 10.97 grams gold per tonne, extending the vertical depth of the Mampon mineralization to 325 metres.
Hole 21, which tested the downdip extension of mineralization at Mampon’s southern end, cut 2.4 metres of 7.5 grams gold within a larger envelope of 10.9 metres grading 1.92 grams gold. As well, the hole intercepted several shallower intervals of gold mineralization.
The next (1,200-metre) phase of drilling will consist of three holes designed to test the size and continuity of mineralization encountered in holes 15 and 23.
