The 4000-metre (\"m\") diamond drilling program is the final phase of 2024 and is fully funded by Newmont. Drilling is expected to continue into 2025, with both diamond and reverse circulation drilling.Highlighted results from the previous program included:59m @ 14.7 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") gold (\"Au\") from 96m downhole in OEDD-100 at Charger (see November 11, 2024 news release)29m @ 20 g/t Au from 149m downhole in OEDD-88 at Charger (see July 31, 2024 news release)35m @ 2.2 g/t Au, 0.48% copper (\"Cu\"), 567 part per million (\"ppm\") molybdenum (\"Mo\"), and 1.9 g/t silver (\"Ag\") in OEDD-89 from 318m downhole at BBM (see September 9, 2024 news release)\"This program is anticipated to build on the success of the most recent phase of drilling, where BBM continues to demonstrate robust grade continuity and Charger delivers some of highest-grade intercepts in West Africa over the past 12 months. Both these Zones are interpreted to have significant expansion potential and drilling is expected to continue throughout the 2025 dry season. We anticipate other high priority drill ready targets such as Lando, Empire, and the BBM satellites to come into play during the 2025 field season. In addition to the JV drill program, we aim to drill the first holes on our 100%-owned Fremen target in Q1 2025 and commence exploration activities on our other 100%-owned permits. The Awalé team is excited to move forward on what we believe will be another successful field season,\" Andrew Chubb, CEO of Awalé Resources, commented today.Three thousand metres (3000m) are planned to test the continuity of the BBM zone as well as expand...
