Turaco Gold Limited announced results from auger drilling at the Satama gold discovery within the eastern permit of the Eburnea Gold Project in central Côte d'Ivoire. Results confirm a 3km gold in saprolite trend subparallel to the main trend where gold mineralisation has been defined over 2km to 150m depth. These auger results demonstrate substantial scale and confirm Satama as being a very large gold system.

The auger program has successfully delineated a second mineralised bedrock structure with 3 kms of strike and bottom of hole results of up to 13.59g/t gold in saprolite. The results will be followed up with targeted AC drilling to confirm width, tenor and continuity of gold mineralisation. Confirmation of the second mineralised structure at Satama follows recent results from further RC drilling on the western structure which included 26m @ 4.82g/t gold from 35m, the highest gram metre intersection to date, confirming higher grade plunging shoots exist at Satama.

The Eburnea Project covers two granted permits covering 690km2 in central Côte d'Ivoire. The Bouake North permit is positioned on the Oume-Fetekro belt which hosts the 2.5Moz Fetekro gold project approximately 35km to the north and the 2.5Moz Bonikro and 1.0Moz Agbaou gold mines 200km to the south. The Satama permit covers a significant north-east trending shear splaying off the crustal scale Ouango-Fitini shear, which marks the margin of the Birimian Comoé basin.

The focus of drilling to date at Satama has been on the `eastern structure' where Turaco has successfully drilled 2kms of mineralised strike from surface to approximately 150 metres depth. Subsequent to the discovery of the mineralised `eastern structure', Turaco undertook a gradient array and dipole-dipole IP survey in the second half of 2022 over an area of approximately 4.5kms by 2.5kms. The IP survey indicated the presence of significant shear structures with coincident resistive and chargeable anomalies extending for over 4kms of strike to the west of the area drilling at Satama. These shear structures had not been tested by any previous exploration drilling and much of it only sampled with wide spaced soil geochemistry.
