[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orezone Gold Corporation (TSX: ORE, OTCQX: ORZCF) (the “Company” or “Orezone”) is pleased to provide ongoing drill results from the Phase III program from P17S-NE along the P17 mineralized trend at the Bomboré Gold Project, located in Burkina Faso. The focus of the Phase III drilling at P17S was to better define the continuity of the repeat, folded high-grade granodiorite mineralized zones. The drill results continue to be very positive confirming the following: Down-plunge continuity of the mineralized zones at P17S has now been extended over an additional 100 m beyond the last set of drill results, with more results pending over the next 100 m. Drilling has also intercepted significant new mineralization in the footwall of the resource area with Hole BBD1132 returning 30 m of 1.73 g/t Au, which is still open both up and down plunge. The mineralized zones are open towards the surface and at depth over a strike of at least 300 m. P17S Drilling Highlights: 20.30 m of 1.88 g/t Au from 171.00 m in hole BBD1104 10.65 m of 3.69 g/t Au from 190.00 m in hole BBD1108 45.30 m of 1.29 g/t Au from 189.00 m in hole BBD1110 18.00 m of 1.59 g/t Au from 134.00 m and 22.15 m of 1.34 g/t Au from 179.85 m in hole BBD1118 12.00 m of 2.45 g/t Au from 76.00 m in hole BBD1119 18.00 m of 1.74 g/t Au from 124.00 m in hole BBD1120 19.50 m of 3.20 g/t Au from 230.50 m in hole BBD1131 8.00 m of 6.32 g/t Au from 127.00 m and 30.00 m of 1.73 g/t Au from 245.00 m in hole BBD1132 Dr. Pascal Marquis, SVP of Exploration, stated, “I am extremely pleased with the ongoing drilling results at P17S, which confirm that this deposit continues to grow, not only along the known zones, but with new zones intersected outside of the current resource pit shell. Final results from this program at P17S are expected in the coming weeks. Drilling is now underway at the Siga deposits, as part of our resource conversion program, but we expect to be back drilling at P17S later this year to follow up on these very encouraging results.” Table 1: P17 Trend Highlight Drill Results Hole# From(m) To(m) Length(m)* Grade(g/t gold) BBD1104 134.00 143.00 9.00 2.69 and 171.00 191.30 20.30 1.88 incl. 171.00 178.00 7.00 2.13 &nbs...
