(TSXV:PX);(OTC PINK:PGXPF) (\"Pelangio\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that a 1,000 meter diamond drilling program will commence on its Manfo Project in Ghana in March 2023. The drilling program follows the drilling conducted at Pokukrom West in late 2021, and is the latest phase in a larger planned diamond drilling program of 3,700+ meters designed to test for extensions to the Manfo gold resource mineralized zones in the Pokukrom East and West deposits. It is anticipated the program will take approximately 4 to 5 weeks to complete with assays available in a month or so after completion of the drilling, core logging and sampling.Highlights:Follow up drilling on the successful 1st phase program which discovered a new lode of mineralization at Pokokrum West: returning 3.19 g/t Au over 12 meters (true thickness approximately 8 meters) including 6.85 g/t Au over 3 meters, open ended further down-plunge, down-dip and along strike to the northProgram to test for extensions of the two adjacent Pokukrom deposits (Pokukrom West and Pokukrom East) that contain the bulk of the resource at ManfoTest a prominent Au in soil anomaly confirmed by auger drilling, located on the western flank of the larger Pokukrom East deposit, sitting between the Pokukrom West and East depositsTest a mineralized zone within the hanging-wall of Pokukrom East that is open down-dip towards the Pokukrom West deposit.Ingrid Hibbard, President and CEO commented, \"We are very pleased to announce that we are recommencing a planned diamond drilling program on our Manfo Project. The current phase of 1,000 meters is part of a larger program designed to test for extensions to the mineralization in the Pokukrom deposits and potential additions to the gold resource at Manfo. With success, future drilling campaigns will continue to step-out the mineralized zones at Manfo with subsequent infill drilling to quantify resource additions, if any.
