SearchGold Resources Inc. Plans Exploration on its 100% Owned Mandiana Project and Engages Investor Relations Firm
Mandiana Project
Mandiana is located in eastern Guinea, West Africa, near the southern border of Mali, and is road accessible. The property is underlain by the world famous prolific gold bearing Proterozoic Birimian rocks, host to gold mines in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Ghana including the Ashanti Gold Belt.
The Mandiana Project, acquired by the Company in 2006, is host to four known gold bearing prospects, namely Intercolonial, Karfakolo, N'Diambaye and Fadaninda. Encouraging preliminary drill results obtained by previous operators, unverified by the Company, include 3.68 g/t Au over 10 metres on the Karfakolo Prospect. During December 2006 to January 2007 the Company completed 4,300 metres of drilling in 54 holes. One of these drill holes, collared on the N'Diambaye prospect, returned 12.23 g/t Au over 22 metres. Details of this exploration program and the results were disclosed in a press release of the Company dated May 1, 2007.
Follow-up geological mapping, ground geophysical surveys and further geochemical sampling carried out by the Company in 2007 has further refined the new discovery and has resulted in the discovery of 10 new target areas, notably the Fadaninda prospect; a strong gold-in-soil anomaly near the center of the property. See attached figures at the following address: http://file.marketwire.com/release/Target3.pdf or visit: www.searchgold.ca.
The Company has completed the work commitment to maintain its 100% interest in the Mandiana Project and is currently finalizing an exploration programme to commence in 2012. In addition several major gold producers have expressed an interest in advancing this project. The Company will evaluate all opportunities, including joint venture opportunities, in order to fully capitalize on the exploration potential of the Mandiana Project.
