Arbor Metals Corp. Plans Phase Two Exploration at the Rakounga Gold Concession, Burkina Faso
Vancouver, Dec 29th, 2020 - Arbor Metals Corp. (the “Company”) (TSXV:ABR), (FWB:432) reports it is currently planning a phase two follow up program on the Rakounga Gold Concession located 100 km north west of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, West Africa. The phase two program will consist of a 2000-to-3000 metre reverse circulation (“RC”) drill program designed to test gold anomalies identified through soil sampling programs located along a broad south west – north east trend, that extend from the permit’s northern boundary to workings located near its western boundary.
The program will look to expand on previous drill results obtained by the prior operator on the Koaltenga workings. Drilling in 2017 and 2018 established mineralization within the Koaltenga zone. See following table for highlights:
------------------------------------------------- |Hole |From (m)|To (m)|Length (m)|g/t Au| |-----------------------------------------------| |RKG-17-RC-001|102 |128 |26 |0.82 | |-----------------------------------------------| |Including |108 |110 |2 |4.11 | |-----------------------------------------------| |Including |110 |114 |4 |2.40 | |-----------------------------------------------| |RKG-17-RC-002|108 |140 |32 |1.01 | |-----------------------------------------------| |Including |112 |118 |6 |2.81 | |-----------------------------------------------| |Including |120 |122 |2 |5.65 | |-----------------------------------------------| |RKG-17-RC-008|102 |136 |34 |1.00 | |-----------------------------------------------| |Including |126 |130 |4 |5.57 | |-----------------------------------------------| |RKG-18-RC-027|116 |126 |10 |1.00 | |-----------------------------------------------| |Including |118 |120 |2 |2.67 | |-----------------------------------------------| |RKG-18-RC-035|66 |78 |12 |0.50 | |-----------------------------------------------| |Including |74 |76 |2 |2.00 | -------------------------------------------------
* All reported results are intercept lengths and are not true widths.
The workings at Koaltenga feature broad intercepts containing zones running 4 to 6 grams Au suggesting a prominent primary structure which has permeated out into the surrounding schists and volcanic rocks. The program is also being designed to test the Bouboulou 1 orpaillage as well as a number of significant soil geochemical anomalies occurring between the two zones.
More details regarding 2021 exploration plans and timeline will be made available in the coming weeks.
