Sylla Gold (SYG) has begun a reverse circulation (RC) drilling program on its Niaouleni Gold Project, located in southern Mali.
Drilling access roads and drilling sites have been constructed, in addition to a field crew camp, to support drilling and logging/sampling activities.
The purpose of the Niaouleni Project RC drilling program is to:
- Confirm previously defined wide zones of high-grade gold mineralization intersected in historical drilling programs completed by previous operators.
- Define the structural characteristics of the interpreted Kobada Shear extension on the property; and
- Test extensive termite mound and soil anomalies that lie on strike from the adjacent Kobada deposit owned by African Gold Group and in other areas of the property.
The drilling program includes approximately 4,000 m of RC drilling followed by 11,000 m of air-core (AC) drilling along several drill fences. Further drilling is planned pending access during the rainy season in Mali, which commences in June and ends in October.
Regan Isenor, President and CEO of Sylla commented on the news.
“We’re in a great position to build off previous drilling at Niaouleni that identified numerous zones of high-grade mineralization on strike of the Kobada deposit. Our team has a lot of experience in the general area, and they’ve put a great drilling plan in place that reflects their past successes in an effort to rapidly expand the Niaouleni deposit on the property.”
The Niaouleni Project is 92 square km in size and includes extensive artisanal mining activity within the interpreted extensions of gold-bearing structures. Past exploration at Niaouleni includes extensive termite mound and soil geochemistry surveys, reverse circulation and diamond drilling that have identified several structural gold-bearing zones that appear to extend from the adjacent Kobada gold deposit.
Historical exploration and drilling results were compiled by Sylla into a digital database and interpreted for the purposes of designing an RC and AC drilling program to further test these interpreted structural gold-bearing zones and possibly extend them further into the project area.
Sylla Gold is an exploration stage company focused on acquiring, exploring, and developing mineral properties.
