[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 1, 2021 /CNW/ - Awalé Resources Limited (\"Awalé\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: ARIC) is pleased to report further results from drilling at the Empire and Charger prospects, Odienne Project, Cote d'Ivoire (Figures 1 and 2). Final assay results have now been returned for the last 11 holes completed (3 diamond drill holes/\"DDH\" and 8 Reverse Circulation/\"RC\" holes for a total of 1,297m) with the following highlights: Empire Prospect – 'Empire Gap' Offset Drilling Five RC holes and one diamond hole were drilled into a 150m lateral offset (Figure 3 and 4) from the Empire Main discovery known as Empire Gap. This drilling has delineated a further 180m strike potential of new, open and high grade gold mineralisation at the Empire prospect. The combined mineralized strike length for Empire Main and Empire Gap is now approximately 400m. Highlights OERC-119 – 9 metres (\"m\") at 1.9 grams per tonne gold (\"g/t Au\") from 139m downhole including 3m at 3.9 g/t Au from 139m. This RC hole is a 40m step-out west of previously reported hole OERC102 – see Company News Release dated 23rd June 2021) (Figure 5) OERC-118 - 8m at 1.4 g/t Au from 110m downhole including 1 m at 8.4 g/t Au. This RC hole is a 40m step-out east of OERC102. OEDD-39. 2m at 2g/t Au from 164m downhole. This DDH is a 50 metre step back from OERC-102. This drilling has resulted in the discovery of a new mineralized zone at Empire Gap, with drillholes OERC-118, OERC-119 and OEDD39 all intercepting more than 50 down hole metres of the target 'Empire Diorite' with brittle ductile deformation and associated alteration. Holes drilled along strike east and west have intercepted shorter intervals of diorite within a package of sheared and mineralised volcanic and mylonitic rocks. The mineralized shear zone defining the Empire Gold Corridor remains open down dip and along strike and future follow up drilling is planned. Charger Prospect Three RC holes and 2 diamond holes were completed at Charger (Figures 6 and 7) as follow up to the previously reported 3m at 9 g/t Au and peak copper value of 0.71% (handheld pXRF results) in hole OERC-89 (see Company News Releases dated June 14, June 30, and July 22 2021). The Charger prospect is interpreted by the Company to have all the hallmarks of Iron Oxide Copper Gold \"IOCG\" systems with strong hematite and ma...
