About Channel Resources Ltd.
Channel is a mineral exploration company with a portfolio of properties that includes the Tanlouka gold project in Burkina Faso, West Africa and a mineral-bearing brine property in Alberta, Canada. Channel's Tanlouka Project has been its primary focus and the company has advanced it rapidly from initial discovery in 2010 to the publication in 2012 of a maiden resource estimate for the Mankarga 5 target. Channel has set the stage for the continued expansion of Mankarga 5 as well as for potential new discoveries on mineralized targets in the north and central regions of the Tanlouka permit, allowing for significant exploration upside. Existing infrastructure in the area together with that introduced by Channel during its exploration programs will allow for work to proceed quickly to both expand the project as well as to assess the potential for its development.
