Results include 17.4m at 2.70 g/t Au, 4.8m at 4.38 g/t Au, 27m at 1.67 g/t Au and 19.9m at 1.47 g/t Au. The diamond drilling program consisted of 12 holes, with results of the remaining nine holes expected in July. In addition, assay results from the last trenches returned pleasing grades and results from remaining infill soil sampling grids extended the anomaly and together with the results of diamond drilling, establish Kokoseb as a significant gold discovery.
The Company now plans to undertake a systematic 20,000m reverse circulation drilling program, with the first drill rig to mobilise later this month.
Wia's Chairman,
Next steps
The immediate next step at Kokoseb is the commencement of a systematic 20,000m reverse circulation drilling program, with the first drill rig planned to mobilise towards the end of June. Two additional programs are planned in June, including the selection of samples for preliminary metallurgical testwork, the results of which are expected towards the end of July and a selection of samples for thin section and polished section work, in order to further the Company's understanding of the mineralisation style and the occurrence of gold.
