Samples were collected at a depth of 50 centimeters\nbelow surface.  Samples were collected placed in 3 mil poly plastic\nbags with an identifying tag and shipped to Actlabs Ouagadougou, for\ngold analysis.  The results of the soil program, combined with\nprevious results from a soil geochemical program completed in 2018,\nare shown below.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Click Image To View Full Size\n \n \n \n \n Figure 1: Geochemical grids at the\nRakounga project, Burkina Faso, West Africa\n \n \n \n \n The combined results from the surveys outline a broad\n12,000 meter gold-in-soil anomaly trending in a southwest to northeast\ndirection.   The gold anomaly extends to widths of 400 meters along\nits strike and culminates at the Koaltenga drill zone in the south\nwest corner of the project ground where in 2017 the previous operator\nreported drill intercepts of 32 meters of 1.01 gram-per-tonne\n(”g/t”) gold (“Au”),  includes 5.65 g/t Au over 2 meters (see\nfollowing table).\n \n \n \n \n \n \n HOLE\n \n \n \n \n DIP\n \n \n \n \n FROM\n \n \n \n \n TO\n \n \n \n \n LENGTH\n \n \n \n \...
