Indigo Exploration Commences Field Work on Djimbala, Mali
Vancouver, December 15, 2020 - Indigo Exploration Inc. (TSXV: IXI) (FSE: INE) (the "Company") announces that crews are now in the field at the Djimbala Permit located in southern Mali, West Africa, 220 kilometres south of the capital of Bamako. The phase 1 program will consist of 623 auger drill holes focused on the two highest priority targets, Djilefing and Forela, with the aim to prioritize targets prior to a phase 2 air core (AC) drilling program.
The Djilefing target covers 2.5 kilometres by 2 kilometres of artisanal workings that indicate at least 3, northly to northeast-oriented trends of gold mineralization. Some 300 metres north of the permit, along a northerly extension of the Djilefing target, previous drill holes returned 2.59 g/t Au over 6 metres. As well, the 1.5 kilometre long, north-trending Forela target area, also aligns with drilling 300 metres north of the Djimbala Permit that returned drill intercepts of 12.65 g/t Au over 3 metres, 6.11 g/t Au over 5 metres, 5.53 g/t Au over 3 metres and 4.75 g/t Au over 6 metres (see figure below).
The Djimbala Permit is situated in the Yanfolila Gold Belt and is surrounded by a significant number of gold deposits, mines and prospecting permits. The Djimbala Permit lies immediately east of Hummingbird Resources' 0.7 million oz Au Komana gold mine1, 21 kilometres north, along strike, of the Kodieran gold mine and 28 kilometres north, along strike, from Endeavour's high grade 3.3 million oz Au Kalana project2. The Company has an option to earn 100% interest in Djimbala from Desert Gold Ventures Inc.
