Compass Gold Reports Additional Encouraging Assay Results from Exploration Program on Yanfolila Property

12.06.2012  |  CNW
- Fire assay results for an additional two deep-inclined diamond drill holes, drilled over an initial 350m strike length, show gold mineralization from near surface to 63m including assays of:
-- SD46: 5.00m @ 1.89 g/t between 73.00m and 78.00m
-- SD47: 52.37m @ 1.30 g/t between 21.30m and 73.67m including
-- 10.93m @ 3.79 g/t between 37.37m and 48.3m

- Results continue to confirm gold mineralization at the Solona target continuing at depths, as suggested by previous drilling

- Results from a further 23 holes are pending and will be announced as received


VANCOUVER, June 12, 2012 /CNW/ - Compass Gold Corporation (TSXV: CVB), which is focused on gold exploration on four properties in Mali, Africa's third largest gold producer, today announced additional gold assay results from its 3,000m diamond-drill exploration program at the Solona target, Yanfolila permit in Southern Mali.

As previously announced, in March 2012, Compass commenced a 3,000m diamond-drill program with the objective to test mineralization from surface to a vertical depth of 100m.

On May 23, 2012, the company released the fire assay results for the first five holes (SD41 to SD45) and four of these five holes encountered gold mineralization from near surface to 78m inclined along the hole (~65m vertical depth). Based on these results, Compass extended the program to 5,000m

The company now has received the fire assay results for two additional holes, with both again showing gold mineralization from near surface to 74m inclined along the hole (~63m vertical depth). Details of the mineralized interceptions are set out below. Compass will release the results from the remaining drill holes as they become available.

"The analysis of these two additional drill holes provides us with further support that we are justified in our optimism regarding the potential of the Solona target," said Dr. Madani Diallo, the leader of Compass Gold's exploration program. "We are eagerly awaiting further exploration results that will provide us with the data we need to plan our more extensive drilling program scheduled to commence in the third-quarter 2012."


Yanfolila Sampling Protocols

The current diamond-drill program at the Solona target, Yanfolila property permit is being carried out by ULC (Uranium Logging and Consulting), using a LONGYYEAR DB 525 wire-line diamond core drill rig and HQ size rods. All holes are started and finished in saprolitic or weathered materials in headquarters. Each core is split using a stainless steel knife (as the core is mainly clay material). One half of the core is kept in the core box and stored in a covered and secure core shed. Core samples are collected in plastic bags, numbered outside, and a tag is placed inside the bag. All samples are taken from site by Africa Mining personnel and delivered to the ALS laboratory, Bamako, Mali, under secure "chain-of-custody" procedures. Samples are fine-crushed to 70% 2mm, pulverized, and split to 85 % 75 um. Gold is assayed by fire assay (50g charge) with FA AA Finish. Sample pulp is returned from the ALS laboratory under secure "chain-of-custody" procedure by Africa Mining staff and also stored in a secure location.
