(TSX-V: CVB) (Compass or the Company) reports the results of the latest drilling at the Massala West prospect on the Tarabala Trend and provides an update of planned drilled on the Company’s Sikasso Property in Southern Mali (Figure 2). Highlights Latest AC drilling at Massala West confirms gold mineralization over 3 km along the Tarabala Trend (“Tarabala”) Highest-grade drill interval: 1 m @ 12.94 g/t Au (from 25 m; SAAC221) Widest mineralized zone: 9 m @ 1.01 g/t Au (from 22 m; SAAC256) Initial deeper RC drilling on the Central Zone at Massala West indicates the mineralization continues to depth Highest-grade drill interval: 3 m @ 1.56 g/t Au (from 46 m; SAAC221) Widest mineralized zone: 5 m @ 0.59 g/t Au (from 45 m; SARC008) Preparing to initiate approximately 4,000 m of deeper RC drilling (>100 m) at the Massala West and Tarabala prospects (Figure 1) when the rains stop in late October 1,400 m of air core (AC) drilling is also planned at the new Tarabala South target Drilling results are pending from the Southern and Extension zones at Massala West, and the newly identified Dalaba prospect. Compass CEO, Larry Phillips, said, “Our latest drilling on the Tarabala Trend has uncovered shallow gold mineralization with promising grades over 3 km at Massala West. The higher-grade and wide mineralization revealed during preliminary RC drilling on the Central Zone indicates the mineralization may be enhanced at depth, so we’re preparing to conduct additional deeper drilling to test the full depth potential of the gold-bearing veins. We are also awaiting the assay results of previous drilling that could extend the mineralization northwards by 500 m, as well as for the results from drilling a fault 750 m west at Dalaba that is coincident with anomalous soil geochemistry.” He added, “As we continue towards our goal of discovering a gold deposit with the commercial size and grade potential to become a mine, these latest near surface results are very encouraging. With these in hand, our Malian exploration team will be ready to begin preparing the drilling pads for our next phase of drilling at the Massala West and Tarabala prospects as soon as ground conditions improve in October. An additional 1,400 m program of shallow AC drilling is also planned over the Tarabala S...
