Kodal Minerals Plc announced to provide an update on its gold exploration projects in southern Mali and Cote d'Ivoire. Further, the Company provides an update on the Fatou Gold Project and proposed Funding Agreement announced on 17 December 2020 to provide up to USD 2,500,000 from AIM-quoted Riverfort Global Opportunities plc and Riverfort Global Opportunities PCC (together the 'Investors'). A full summary of the historic exploration, geological setting and acquisition terms of the Fatou Project in southern Mali was provided in the Company announcement of 17 December 2020. The Company has undertaken further field reconnaissance and planning of the maiden drilling programme is to commence as soon as possible once the Funding Agreement is finalised. The Company is finalising contract details with the drilling contractor to undertake the exploration programme and will look to secure ongoing drilling for the Fatou Project and Kodal's additional gold assets in Cote d'Ivoire and Mali. Dabakala Project: The Company has completed an infill surface geochemical sampling programme at the Dabakala project in Côte d'Ivoire to add definition to the previously defined anomalous zone. The sample spacing has been infilled to a nominal 200m line spacing and 50m samples spacing and will be suitable to provide targeting for initial air core reconnaissance drilling. The geological mapping that occurred in conjunction with the sampling highlighted shear zones and quartz veining that was the target for the extensive artisanal workings. A programme of field mapping and sampling of the workings will be undertaken to assist in the targeting of the future drilling. The Dabakala anomaly is a new area of surface anomalism defined by Kodal exploration and no previous drilling has occurred in the area.
