Orezone Gold Corporation, a leading mining company, has recently announced additional drill results from its multi-year exploration campaign at the Bomboré Gold Mine in Burkina Faso. The new results focus on the North Zone, revealing high grades intercepted below both the North Zone Footwall and North Zone Hill resource and reserve pits.
Selected Drill Highlights include:
– 2.55 g/t Au over 23.00m, including 5.54 g/t Au over 5.00m (BBD1324)
– 1.14 g/t Au over 29.50m, including 2.30 g/t Au over 4.50m (BBD1320)
– 1.20 g/t Au over 23.80m (BBD1323)
– 1.01 g/t Au over 18.70m (BBD1319)
– 1.80 g/t Au over 15.00m (BBD1318)
– 1.59 g/t Au over 9.80m (BBD1318)
– 1.69 g/t Au over 6.85m (BBD1322)
– 24.74 g/t Au over 2.00m (BBD1323)
Patrick Downey, the President, and CEO of Orezone Gold Corporation, expressed his excitement at the drill results, highlighting the significant exploration upside at Bomboré. The company aims to expand the resource base from the current 5.1 million gold ounces to a targeted 7 to 10 million gold ounces in the long term. The Phase I exploration campaign will include a comprehensive 30,000m drill program throughout 2025.
The recent drilling in the North Zone Footwall has successfully extended mineralization 100m to 250m below the reserve pit bottoms along a strike length of over 800m. This has the potential to extend the current life of mine pits to depth and increase the future production profile at Bomboré.
The company is also focusing on higher-grade sub-zones within and below the current open pit resource and reserves, with the possibility of transitioning into underground mining. Initial drilling at North Zone Hill and other deposits has shown promising results, with high-grade intercepts indicating the potential for increased production and operating head grade at Bomboré.
Overall, Orezone Gold Corporation is committed to expanding its mineral reserves and resources, exploring new opportunities for growth, and enhancing its production profile. The company’s dedication to sustainability and social responsibility, combined with its experienced team, positions it as a key player in the mining industry.
