Azumah Resources Limited advises that multiple, high-impact exploration and drilling campaigns have commenced at Azumah's Wa Gold Project, Ghana, with investors able to look forward to a strong, results driven news flow throughout 2018. A work plan comprising ~20,000m of reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling, ~7,000m of aircore drilling, ~20,000m of auger drilling, ground geophysical and geochemical surveys along with mine and processing optimisation studies is being fully funded by earn-in partner, Ibaera Capital Fund LP (Ibaera) under a transformative deal struck late in 2017. Ibaera's team of accomplished geologists and engineers have designed a highly focused, systematic programme of exploration and development work designed to boost the existing Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve base of the Project. The first phase drilling programme is aimed at increasing Mineral Resources in close proximity to the Kunche, Bepkong and Julie deposits while also providing sufficient definition to deliver a maiden Mineral Resource for deposits occurring along the emerging Josephine-Manwe trend.
