Slide 18: Gourbassi Corridor
Gourbassi Corridor Overview ― The Gourbassi gold corridor is a ~ 10km steep, shear-parallel NW to NS structural zone segmented by ENE–E–W cross structures, indicative of transpression; ― Strong spatial coincidence between soil Au anomalies, mapped quartz veining, and known resource footprints (Gourb
Slide 19: Gourbassi Corridor – Gourbassi West & West North
Gourbassi Corridor Gourbassi West & West North ― Au-in-auger discovery at Gourbassi West North ― Northerly and northwesterly trending gold mineralized structures modelled ― Total over 4km strike length ― Intercepts to 1.08 g/t Au over 123.95 m estimated true width 75 metres) at Gourbassi West North,
Slide 20: Gourbassi Corridor – Koussili
Gourbassi Corridor Koussili ― A total over 6km of Northerly and north westerly trending gold mineralized structures ― 2km long potential curved strike continuity with Gourbassi West North deposit ― Gold in soil supported by gold in auger drilling and rock grab samples for artisanal pits ― First phas
Slide 21: Gourbassi Corridor – Gourbassi East
Gourbassi Corridor Gourbassi East ― At least seven, north-northwest trending lenses of gold mineralization up to 37 metres wide. ― Traced for approximately 800 metres along strike to 170 metres depth. ― The deepest hole returned 7.49 g/t gold over 11 metres (true width approximately 6 metres). ― Mag
