[{"type":"text","content":"Nexus Gold Extends Strike Length at Dakouli II Gold Concession, Burkina Faso, West Africa(via TheNewswire)\n \n \n\n\n- Samples up to 10.8 g/t Au recovered from newly defined area\n\n\n\n \n \nVancouver, Canada - TheNewswire - June 23, 2020 - Nexus Gold Corp. (\"Nexus\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:NXS) (OTC:NXXGF) (FSE:N6E) is pleased to provide an update from it's ongoing exploration efforts at the 100%-owned Dakouli II Gold Concession, located in Burkina Faso, West Africa. \n\n\n \nCompany geologists have been reviewing the Dakouli concession for potential drill set ups, and during recent site visits noted an increase in artisanal mining activity along strike at the main mineralized zone. The crew collected three rock samples from new areas being exploited artisanal miners (\"orpailleurs\"). A result of 10.8 grams-per-tonne (\"g/t\") gold (\"Au\") was returned from sample DK-27. This sample consisted of crushed mined material which had undergone preliminary gold extraction by panning. The remaining two samples were taken from workings proximal to the location of the orpailleurs extraction operations and returned 0.02 g/t au and 1.6 g/t Au respectively.\n\n\n \nThe Company is encouraged by the increased strike activity which now extends the limits of the eastern zone some 200 meters to the east, thus expanding the zone of mineralization to over 400 meters along an east-west trend while also measuring over 200 meters in a north-south direction. As the Company prepares for an upcoming drill program it will continually monitor the increased artisanal activities along this mineralized trend.\n\n\n \n\"Dakouli remains a priority for Nexus, and one we intend to drill as soon as possible,\" said president & CEO, Alex Klenman. \"We had planned to conduct a maiden drill program there late last year before in-country delays surfaced and then the global pandemic hit in Q1 this year. We'd like to get a drill program done once the rainy season ends later in the summer. The mineralization is widespread and continues to produce double digit samples. We feel the upside here is clearly evident, and a compelling case for multiple drill programs has already been established,\" continued Mr. Klenman.\n\n\n \nSample Results\n\n \n\nSample ID\n\n\n\n\nComment\n\n\n\n\nAu g/t\n\n\n\n\nDKL-0027\n\n\n\n\nCrashed material from orpailleurs, very fine, ...
