Nexus Gold Mobilizes Crew & Drill Rig to Bouboulou Gold Concession, Burkina Faso, West AfricaVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 8, 2017 / Nexus Gold Corp. ("Nexus" or the "Company") (TSX-V: NXS, OTC PINK: NXXGF, FSE: N6E) is pleased to report, in anticipation of its upcoming drill program, that it has mobilized both crew and equipment to the Bouboulou gold concession, located approximately 75 kilometers north-west of the capital Ouagadougou. The 38-sq kilometer property sits on the Boromo-Goren greenstone belt, and is bisected by the Sabce shear zone. The phase one diamond drill program at Bouboulou will include 2000 meters targeting known previously identified mineralized zones. The Company also plans to test new areas of interest at the Koala zone, where recent samples ran as high as 66 grams-per-tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au"), and the newly identified Rawema West zone. New Zone Identified - Rawema West As reported in a June 6, 2017 news release, company geologists have now determined the presence of a new mineralized zone at Bouboulou through the observance of increased artisanal activity, and the result of rock sampling taken from the newly observed area. The new zone, termed "Rawema West," occurs approximately 1000 metres west of the main workings at the previously identified Rawema site. The Artisanal workings extend some 150 metres in length and appear by observation to extend to depths of greater than 20 metres. This fifth zone adds to the four previously identified zones (Rawema, Bouboulou 2, Pelatanga and Koala) at the concession. Company geologists collected seven select rock samples of dump material from the Rawema West workings. Of the seven samples collected there, four returned values greater than 1 g/t Au, including BBL-004 which returned 9.49 g/t Au. The sampling results from both Rawema West and Koala, as reported June 6, 2017, are tabled below: Table 1 Sample ID Gold (g/t) Sample type Zone BBL-001 0.058 Select Rawema West BBL-002 0.065 Select Rawema West BBL-003 0.134 Select Rawema West BBL-004 9.69 Select Rawema West BBL-005 2.62 Select Rawema West BBL-006 4.41 Select Rawema West BBL-007 4.84 Select Rawema West BBL-008 0.061 Select Koala BBL-009 0.093 Select Koala BBL-010 0.472 Select Koala BBL-011 0.361 Select Koala BBL-012 66.1 Select Koala BBL-013 29 Select Koala BBL-014 2.20 Select Koala The trend of the workings at Rawema West run rough...
