[{"type":"text","content":"Nexus Gold to Drill 4000 Meters at Bouboulou-Rakounga and Niangoeula Concessions, Burkina Faso(via TheNewswire)\n \n \nVancouver, Canada / TheNewswire / June 21, 2018 - Nexus Gold Corp. (\"Nexus\" or the \"Company\") (TSX-V: NXS, OTC: NXXGF, FSE: N6E) is pleased to announce it is commencing a 4000-meter RC drill program at it's three Burkina Faso projects. The summer drill program will begin immediately and will consist of approximately 2000 meters of reverse circulation drilling on the Rakounga exploration permit and 1000 meters each on the Bouboulou and Niangouela exploration permits. \n\n\n \nRakounga\n\n\n \nAt the 250-sq km Rakounga concession the drill program is designed to test the strike extension of the Koaltenga zone, which to date has returned intercepts of 32 meters averaging 1.01 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") gold (\"Au\") (including 6m of 2.81 g/t Au and 2m of 5.65 g/t Au) from hole RKG-17-RC-002; 34 meters of 1.00 g/t Au (including 4m of 5.57 g/t Au) from hole RKG-17-RC-008; and 26 meters of 0.82 g/t Au (including 2m of 4.11 g/t Au and 4m of 2.60 g/t Au) from hole RKG-17-RC-001 (see Company news release December 13, 2017). \n\n\n \nIn addition, the company will be testing two newly identified orpaillages, or zones of artisanal mining activity. The first is termed the Porph 2 orpaillage and is located approximately 400 meters south-west of the previously tested Porphyry zone which returned anomalous gold intercepts in drill holes RKG-17-RC-014 (40m of 0.19 g/t Au) and hole RKG-17-RC-015 (42m of 0.26 g/t Au) (see Company news release December 13, 2017). \n\n\n \nThe second newly found orpaillage, termed BBL-South, is centrally located in the Rakounga permit. The two workings at BBL-South are believed to be the strike extension of the B2 trend previously identified on the adjacent Bouboulou property. The BBL-South area is located some 7800 metres south west of the Bouboulou 1 zone. \n\n\n \n\"We're looking to build on the successes we've already had at Koaltenga by drill testing the newly discovered areas,\" said Vice President, Exploration, Warren Robb. \"We are pleased about the BBL-South find as this helps to define the B2 trend over what could be a significant distance,\" continued Mr. Robb. \n\n\n \nBouboulou\n\n\n \nAt the 38-sq km Bouboulou concession the company will drill areas proximal to the previously identi...
