Regarding these new results Mr. André Gagné, president and CEO, commented: "These results are very encouraging and are being added to the ones recently released in March from the same zone. The gold mineralization at Kabaya compares favorably to the one outlined in the Siribaya, Kono and Diaka gold zones now being developed by Iamgold, a few kilometers south of our permit." We are waiting for the remaining results from the drilling program in order to perform a compilation and a preliminary resource assessment for this portion of the Kabaya structure.
Samples were analysed by fire assay with AA finish on 50 g sample aliquots at the SGS Laboratory in Bamako, Mali. Drilling supervision and sampling at the drill site were performed by qualified technical staff. The QA/QC program and the processing of results were designed by qualified geologists according to NI 43-101 regulation standards and best industry practices. One blank or standard or duplicate sample was inserted for every 20 samples analyzed.
