Empire had not been drilled since 2020, and Awalé was excited to return to this highly prospective target, located just 2.5 kilometres from the Charger discovery. These two nearby zones are part of four discoveries made to date at the Project, underscoring its district-scale potential.All holes intersected significant mineralization, including OEDD-127 which returned 15m @ 5.2 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") gold (\"Au\") from 215m, including 10m @ 7.5 g/t Au from 215m. This intercept is significant as it is located at a similar depth to hole OEDD-15 and shows the potential of further high-grade mineralization at depth on the Empire zone.The updated geology model also suggests that other zones may be open to the southeast. Exploration to date has covered only 5 km of Empire's 20 km trend, with significant potential for further expansion. In this program, the Company targeted the top 120 vertical metres to refine the structural model of the discovery and drill hole OEDD-127 has extended down plunge mineralization to a vertical depth of approximately 200m.\"Empire was Awalé's first high-grade gold discovery, and we're excited to resume drilling where we left off with significant mineralization similar in nature to our previous programs in 2019 and 2020. We are particularly happy to see the result of 5.2 g/t gold over 15 metres in OEDD-127 demonstrating that the system remains open at depth, with our new interpretation indicating further expansion potential along strike to the southeast. Bringing Empire back into play reinforces our confidence in the ...
