12:27 AEST July 14, 2011 ABN Newswire (C) 2004-2011 Asia Business News PL. All Rights Reserved.Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Eagle Eye Metals Limited (ASX: EYE) is pleased to advise that it has successfully completed its inaugural drilling campaign at the Dankassa Gold Project in Mali.
Drilling by previous owners at the Dankassa Project defined extensive bedrock gold mineralisation in an area referred to as the Kourouba Prospect - a 5 kilometre long coherent gold in soil anomaly. Significant results in limited previous drilling included:
- 10m @ 5.75 g/t Au
- 12m @ 1.81 g/t Au
- 14m @ 1.76 g/t Au
- 40m @ 1.06 g/t Au (incl 10m @ 1.63 g/t Au)
- 20m @ 2.17 g/t Au
Eagle Eye's initial drill program was designed to extend drill coverage north and south of the previous ore grade drill intercepts, and to rapidly determine the continuity and grade of gold mineralisation within the central portion of the Kourouba Prospect.
A total of 24 holes for 2,400 metres of reverse circulation drilling were completed over approximately 800 metres of strike. Assay results are anticipated within the next four to six weeks.
Work continues to advance the extensions of the 5 kilometre long soil anomaly at the Kourouba Prospect, as well as other targets at the Dankassa Gold Project, to drill-ready stage.
