(NYSE: FSM | TSX: FVI) is pleased to provide an update on its exploration programs at the Séguéla Mine in Côte d’Ivoire. Séguéla Mine exploration highlights Paul Weedon, Senior Vice President of Exploration at Fortuna, commented, “Kingfisher is rapidly shaping up as a substantial prospect for Séguéla, with a drill defined strike now over 2 kilometers in length and it remains open at depth. Recent drilling highlights include 14.2 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 16.8 meters from 100 meters from drill hole SGRC1865 with mineralization remaining open at depth.” Mr. Weedon continued, “In addition to exploration success at Kingfisher, infill and depth extension drilling at the Sunbird deposit continues to support underground mining potential, with results including 8.8 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 6.3 meters from 301 meters from drill hole SGDD140.” Kingfisher prospect drilling highlights include: SGRC1865: 14.2 g/t Au31.0 g/t Au29.6 g/t Au64.6 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 16.8 meters from 100 meters, includingover an estimated true width of 1.4 meters from 105 meters, and over an estimated true width of 1.4 meters from 115 meters, andover an estimated true width of 1.4 meters from 120 meters SGRC1866: 3.0 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 18.2 meters from 21 meters SGRC1869: 2.7 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 30.1 meters from 68 meters SGRD1874: 5.5 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 9.1 meters from 89 meters SGRD1879: 3.7 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 15.4 meters from 129 meters A further 58 holes for 6,966 meters was completed at the Kingfisher prospect (refer to Figure 1), defining continuous mineralization over more than 2 kilometers of strike and merging the previous three separate lodes into a single zone of continuous mineralization (refer to Figure 2). Drilling is continuing, testing the depth potential along this zone with additional exploratory drilling planned to the south where only minimal surface geochemistry is available. Kingfisher was a “blind” discovery with 1 to 2 meters of transported cover giving rise to very muted or no geochemical signature. Kingfisher remains open at depth for most of the drilled 2-kilometer strike, with the deepest drilling only testing to approx...
