[{"type":"text","content":"Nexus Gold Mobilizes Crew & Drill Rig to Bouboulou Gold Concession, Burkina Faso, West AfricaVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 8, 2017 / Nexus Gold Corp. (\"Nexus\" or the \"Company\") (TSX-V: NXS, OTC PINK: NXXGF, FSE: N6E) is pleased to report, in anticipation of its upcoming drill program, that it has mobilized both crew and equipment to the Bouboulou gold concession, located approximately 75 kilometers north-west of the capital Ouagadougou. The 38-sq kilometer property sits on the Boromo-Goren greenstone belt, and is bisected by the Sabce shear zone. \nThe phase one diamond drill program at Bouboulou will include 2000 meters targeting known previously identified mineralized zones. The Company also plans to test new areas of interest at the Koala zone, where recent samples ran as high as 66 grams-per-tonne (\"g/t\") gold (\"Au\"), and the newly identified Rawema West zone.\nNew Zone Identified - Rawema West\nAs reported in a June 6, 2017 news release, company geologists have now determined the presence of a new mineralized zone at Bouboulou through the observance of increased artisanal activity, and the result of rock sampling taken from the newly observed area. \nThe new zone, termed \"Rawema West,\" occurs approximately 1000 metres west of the main workings at the previously identified Rawema site. The Artisanal workings extend some 150 metres in length and appear by observation to extend to depths of greater than 20 metres. This fifth zone adds to the four previously identified zones (Rawema, Bouboulou 2, Pelatanga and Koala) at the concession. \nCompany geologists collected seven select rock samples of dump material from the Rawema West workings. Of the seven samples collected there, four returned values greater than 1 g/t Au, including BBL-004 which returned 9.49 g/t Au. \nThe sampling results from both Rawema West and Koala, as reported June 6, 2017, are tabled below:\nTable 1\n\n\n \n \n \n Sample ID\n \n \n Gold (g/t)\n \n \n Sample type\n \n \n Zone\n \n \n \n \n BBL-001\n \n \n 0.058\n \n \n Select\n \n \n Rawema West\n \n \n \n \n \n BBL-002\n \n \n 0.065\n \n \n Select\n \n \n Rawema West\n \n \n \n \n \n BBL-003\n \n \n 0.134\n \n \n Select\n \n \n Rawema West\n \n \n \n \n \n BBL-004\n \n \n 9.69\n \n \n Select\n \n \n Rawema West\n \n \n \n \n \n BBL-005\n \n \n 2.62\n \n \n Select\n \n \n Rawema West\n \n \n \...
