Sarama Resources Limited announced that recent reverse-circulation and diamond drilling at the MM Prospect at its South Houndé Project in south-western Burkina Faso has extended the strike length of mineralisation by 25% to a total of 1.9 km and confirmed previous high-grade intersections in the south of the mineralised zone. The extensional program was designed to test for strike and down-dip extensions around the southern extent
of the mineralised system and also strike and down-dip extensions of other minor lodes within the central part of the system that contained significant intersections returned from drilling earlier in 2012. This program successfully intersected the targeted mineralised units, leading to a 25% increase in strike length of the MM system to 1.9km. Holes in the southern extension area were drilled to a vertical depth of 100-120m along 100-200m spaced drill lines, with intersections including 7m at 2.14 g/t Au, 15m at 1.36 g/t Au and 8m at 1.38 g/t Au being returned. Several broad, low-grade intersections >20m in thickness were also returned, potentially indicating the presence of shoot controls on mineralisation. A down-dip extension of mineralisation to 200-230m vertical depth was achieved by the program in the south of the system with intersections including 19.1m at 4.06 g/t Au, 18.0m at 2.09 g/t Au and 13.5m at 1.42 g/t Au being returned. Extensional drilling of minor lodes in the central area returned intersections including 5.3m at 5.18 g/t Au, 6.5m at 2.93 g/t Au and 11.0m at 2.70 g/t Au. The infill drill program targeted an area of high-grade mineralisation located in the south of the mineralised system. The southern area has consistently returned high-grade intersections over several drill campaigns conducted since May 2011 and the recent infill drilling was designed to provide additional information on the spatial extent and directional controls on the high-grade mineralisation. Intersections returned include 14.0m at 5.71 g/t Au, 15.5m at 2.79 g/t Au, 15.5m at 6.61 g/t Au and 16.0m at 1.63 g/t Au. These results are aligned with previous drilling in the area and notably define the high-grade (+5g/t Au) zone along a strike length of approximately 250m.
