(\"Sarama\" or the \"Company\") (TSX-V:SWA) is pleased to announce that a series of high-grade gold-quartz veins, extending over a strike length of +3km, have been identified on the Bamako Property (\"Bamako\" or the \"Property\") which is situated 25km east of the Company's Bondi Deposit in south-west Burkina Faso. \n\n\n \nIn addition to historical high-grade drilling and soil sampling results, recent rock-chip sampling has returned grades up to 18.9g/t Au from the newly exposed quartz-veins. The Company has also outlined a large artisanal mining area within a 3km x 2km area associated with the gold-quartz veins, reinforcing the Property's prospectivity for high-grade gold deposits. \n\n\n \nThe Bamako Property is part of the Company's 100%-owned, 660km2 ThreeBee Project(4) in the highly prospective southern Hounde Belt.\n\n\n \nHighlights\n\n \n \n\n\n-Discovery of a series of high-grade quartz-veins, extending over a strike length of +3km, which are being exploited by artisanal mining activities.\n\n\n\n-Rock-chip sampling has returned values up to 18.9g/t Au, indicating the presence of high-grade gold mineralisation associated with quartz veins cutting mafic host rocks.\n\n\n\n-Previous soil sampling by Sarama identified a broad, km-scale corridor of gold anomalism associated with a band of mafic volcanic and gabbroic rocks with soil values ranging up to 13.6g/t Au.\n\n\n\n-A previously disclosed(5) 3,700m reverse circulation (\"RC\") reconnaissance drill program tested a north-trending, 800m-long band of anomalous gold-in-soil values close to the new quartz vein discovery. Several significant results were returned and include:\n\n\n\n\n\n-6m @ 1.78g/t Au from surface, and\n\n\n\n-15m @ 6.17g/t Au from 9m (including 2m @ 38.45g/t Au 20m) from in FRC384;\n\n\n\n-2m @ 2.65g/t Au from 58m, and\n\n\n\n-3m @ 3.81g/t Au from 63m in FRC489;\n\n\n\n-4m @ 1.94g/t Au from 48m in FRC385; and\n\n\n\n-15m @ 0.54g/t Au from 86m in FRC386.\n\n\n\n\n\n-Follow-up work has commenced and includes detailed mapping and drill programs to test the widths and lengths of the various high-grade veins and also other significant soil anomalies.\n\n\n\n-The discovery...
