[{"type":"text","content":"Sylla Gold Commences Phase 2 Drilling at Niaouleni Gold ProjectBedford, Nova Scotia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 23, 2023) - Sylla Gold Corp. (TSXV: SYG) (OTCQB: SYGCF) (\"Sylla\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that Phase 2 reverse circulation (RC) and air core (AC) drilling operations has commenced drilling on its Niaouleni Gold Project (\"Niaouleni\") in southern Mali (Figure 1).The purpose of the Phase 2 drilling program is to:Complete step out drilling from previous high grade drilling intercepts Expand the mineralized footprint of Niaouleni South target to both the north and south. Further define the structural geometry of the interpreted Kobada Shear extension on the propertyThe planned drilling program is comprised of approximately 1,600 m of AC drilling followed by 2,330 m of RC drilling along several drill fences. The drilling is designed to expand the footprint of mineralization at Niaouleni South and further test adjacent geochemical anomalies. Regan Isenor, President and CEO of Sylla commented, \"We had great success in our maiden 2022 drilling program establishing numerous thick, high-grade gold intercepts and developing a better understanding for the structure and mineralization within the Kobada Shear. Our technical team has designed this next drilling program to rapidly expand the area of gold mineralization at the Niaouleni South target, through step outs to both the north and south.\" Niaouleni ProjectThe Niaouleni Project is 17,200 hectares size and accessible by paved highway and includes extensive artisanal mining activity within the interpreted extensions of gold bearing structures. Niaouleni is strategically located roughly 3km south of Toubani Resources Kobada deposit within the emerging Niaouleni-Kobada-Sanankoro Corridor (Figure 2). Sylla Gold's maiden drilling program was completed between April and July 2022 and included 57 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes (7,305 m) and 212 air core (AC) drill holes (10,600 m) completed along several drill fences. These drill holes targeted the Niaouleni South, Lebre Plateau and Kankou Moussa prospects along the Kobada Shear, and the Gouingouindougou target located on the Gosso Shear. These targets were all previously defined by termite mound and soil geochemistry results. Assay results from the RC and AC drilling programs were released by the Company in...
