Arrow Minerals Limited reported that a 2,700 m reverse circulation (RC) drilling programme has commenced at its new Dassa gold discovery on the Divole West exploration permit in western Burkina Faso. This drilling follows up the successful campaign completed in December 2019, when maiden drilling discovered gold mineralisation along a +3 km of strike length. The drilling is designed to confirm the continuity of the known mineralisation along the 3 km zone and to test on-strike and down-dip extensions. The December 2019 maiden RC drilling programme at the new Dassa discovery, located on the Divole West license block, followed up significant soil and auger geochemistry anomalism. The drilling focussed on zones where surface geochemical sampling was effective, defining a zone about 3 km long, but leaving untested a gap where transported soil cover rendered the geochemical results less reliable. The current programme is focused on this gap area and is intended to coonfirm the definition of a long, shallow, continuous zone of gold mineralisation. If successful, this will extend the mineralised discovery zone to a strike length of more than 3 km long as well as test for the down-dip continuation of gold mineralistion. The Dassa discovery is hosted by siliclastic sediments near the contact with Birimian greenstone belt. The mineralisation defined to date is shallow, going from surface to about 90 m depth. The results from the initial Dassa drilling included intersections of 3 m at 15.1 g/t Au from 53 m, including 1 m at 44.7 g/t Au, as well as 17 m at 3.3 g/t Au from 2 m, 13 m at 2.4 g/t Au from 31 m, and 33 m at 1.9 g/t Au from 21 m. In addition to the ongoing work to confirm the new Dassa gold discovery, Arrow is completing surface geochemistry on the Nako, Hounde South, Divole East, and Boulsa projects in Burkina Faso as well as plans for follow-up of 2019 drilling at the Divole East that intersected mineralised zones of up to 10 m at 4.3 g/t Au. The emerging gold camp that comprises the Divole East and West permit blocks will continue to be the primary focus of work in Burkina Faso in parallel with the advancement of all the West African targets. The gold and VMS hosted copper-gold potential at the Strickland project in Western Australia is also being actively studied to prepare for work there during the field season later in 2020 when weather precludes field work in West Africa. The belt continues to emerge as being prospective for VMS mineralisation.
