(TSXV: DAU) (FSE: QXR2) (OTCQB: DAUGF) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the resumption of drilling at its SMSZ project in Western Mali. This phase 2 program will focus on the Gourbassi West North gold discovery that had previously returned 1.94 g/t gold over 30 metres* and 2.75 g/t gold over 12 metres*. This open ended 1.6 km long zone, has been tested to just 35 metres depth, is open to depth and is up to 90 metres wide. This gold zone appears to be one of the larger gold systems on the property and has seen only limited testing.Jared Scharf, President and CEO commented \"We're very pleased to resume work at Gourbassi West North. This phase of drilling is designed to test the continuity and strength of the gold system at depth and along strike. We believe this target has the potential to significantly add to our overall mineral resources making the value proposition of the SMSZ Project even more compelling.\"Technical DetailsA total of 5,400 metres of drilling has been planned to test the Gourbassi West North Zone for approximately 1,900 metres along strike. The phase 2 program will consist of 2 diamond drill holes totalling 400 metres, 16 reverse circulation holes totalling 2,345 metres and 35 air core holes totalling 2,650 metres (Figure 1). The RC and diamond drill holes will test the zone to approximately 100 metres depth for 1,000 metres along strike. One diamond drill hole will test the zone to 150 metres depth. All air core holes are designed as infill holes and holes to test for extensions of the gold mineralization both along and across strike. One line of air core holes will test for inferred northwest-trending mineralization proximal to the original discovery. Four air core holes will test below grab samples that returned 11.03 g/t gold and 6.05 g/t gold, from an artisanal mining area located approximately 3,000 metres to the northwest of the Gourbassi West North Zone.Auger drilling, to test below anomalous gold-in-soil values and geological target areas, north and west of the Gourbassi West North Zone, will restart with approximately 1,000 metres...
