West African Iron Ore Corp. reported assay results from the first 102 holes on its Wondima target. These results indicate an average grade of 30.52% Fe, the mineralization is sub-horizontal iron rich lateritic cap with and average thickness of 8.53 meters. The Wondima target will form the basis of the company maiden NI43-101 resource report that is expected to be completed during fourth quarter of 2012. The Wondima target is an extensive iron bearing layered prospect that has been identified along the northern extension of the Sambalama/Kaliadi magnetic anomaly. The central part of the target where this drilling has been concentrated consists of an area of 33km out of a geophysical target of 64 km of raised plateau with a flat and hard iron rich cap. Identified mineralization starts from surface to depth of up to 16 meters. A further 854 meters of drilling in 46 Diamond Drill Holes have also been completed; both RCH and DDH are drilled vertically. Original proposed RCH drilling programme was 8,000 meters. The RCH drilling programme that is ongoing, will be extended in order to define total mineralization area of the Wondima target. The Awa prospect was discovered in May 2012 using a combination of Satellite Remote Sensing, field mapping and geomorphological study. Mineralization in the Awa prospect is similar to the ferrecrete lateritic type as observed in Wondima albeit with a possibly higher thickness but a smaller surface footprint, currently estimated at 30km. Grab samples collected during geological mapping revealed an iron content of up to 58.7% Fe. A portable diamond drill machine used in exploration was used to obtain a rapid indication of both the thickness and the grade of Awa prospect. These field results were highly encouraging by revealing an iron oxide thickness between 20 to >30 m. This prospect will now become the focus of a systematic drill programme once the expanded Wondima drill programme has been completed. An initial RCH drilling program of 5,000 meters has been planned on the Awa prospect. The mineralization over the Awa prospect is composed of hematite-goethite and possibly magnetite pisolites.
