Pacific Comox trenching in Ghana

Trenching within a geochemical gold anomaly on the Adansi-Asaasi concession in Ghana is yielding higher gold values than those received by channel samples taken from old underground workings of the past-producing Cherebroso mine (which lies directly below).

Pacific Comox Resources (VSE), through its 94%-owned subsidiary, African Star Resources, is earning a 70% interest in the West African concession. One hundred channel samples were taken from two trenches within a soil anomaly that measures approximately 300 by 750 metres. Trench 11+82 East returned 59 ft. of 0.17 oz. gold per ton, as well as 102 ft. of 0.12 oz. while trench 12+75 East returned 79 ft. of 0.17 oz. (gold assays were cut to 1 oz. per ton). Narrow quartz veins returned values of up to 68 oz.

Channel sampling of the underground workings of the Cherebroso mine, which operated in the early 1900s, returned gold values of up to 0.061 oz. over 69 ft.
