West African Iron Ore Corp. reported the start of an 8,000 meter reverse circulation drilling campaign on the Wondima target. The prospect was discovered as a result of a follow-up geological mapping and surface sampling progamme over the northern portion of the Forecariah property. The Wondima target is an extensive iron bearing layered prospect that has been identified along the northern extension of the Sambalama/Kalyadi magnetic anomaly. The central part of the target consists of about 26km(2) of raised plateau with a flat and hard iron rich cap. Two hundred and twenty four surface samples were collected from the target area during mapping and the average Fe content was estimated to be 34.73% using a hand held NITON XRF. A test pit initiated on the Wondima target reached 2m in depth and encountered continuous hematite-rich hard laterite. The pit results were sufficiently encouraging for the Company to mount an 8,000 metre RC drilling program across the whole plateau area so as to make a quick evaluation of the target. To date, the Company has completed 9 reverse circulation drill holes, 6 of which were analyzed using a NITON XRF. The company has also received the initial interpretation of the detailed ground gravimetric survey by SRK Consulting (Australia) Ltd. conducted over Sambalama South and Kalyadi North targets. The gravity data were collected by Fugro ground Geophysics (Fugro) on a 75 x 25 meter grid. Sambalama South Target: The gravity map over Sambalama South target has revealed a series of high gravity anomalies striking N-S and coincident to the highest part of the magnetic anomaly. The magnetic anomaly is interpreted as magnetite-quartzite which was also expected to provide the highest gravity contrast. The width of the main Sambalama South gravity anomaly is 350 meters, and the modeled anomaly is almost a kilometer long. The Sambalama South gravity anomaly is consistent with the intersections of magnetite mineralization in drilling and therefore can be used to quickly delineate the Sambalama magnetite iron resources. The Company completed 72 drill holes on the Sambalama South target. Of these, 32 holes have already been assayed and the assay results for the rest are pending. Kalyadi North Target: The gravity anomaly revealed over Kalyadi North target appears to be more extensive than at Sambalama: It is about 500m wide and almost 2km long. The previous drill holes completed over Kalyadi target were not optimally positioned and the company now plans to follow up the gravity data by drilling. The company believes that the Kalyadi and Sambalama targets will provide significant magnetite iron resources in addition to the more extensive hematite-goethite shallow iron resources. The company drilled 12 holes in Kalyadi North. The samples for these are pending assaying and compilation.
