Assays from the first five drill holes confirm that mineralization extends well beyond the current open-pit design, now pushing past 250 meters vertical depth. That shatters the historical resource boundary of 200 meters and validates potential for both a larger pit shell and future underground mining.\n \n\n Additional gold-bearing lodes intersected in the footwall potentially expand the mineralization footprint further. The results confirm the geological model and support Imwelo's pathway toward production.\n \n\n \"These first results are exactly what we hoped to see as we advance Imwelo toward development,\" said Marc Cernovitch, President and CEO of\n \n Lake Victoria Gold\n \n . \"The drilling confirms that the mineralization continues beyond the limits of the current pit design, with additional lodes emerging in both ...
