Turaco Gold Identifies Gold Mineralization at Ivory Coast Project

By

Turaco Gold (ASX:TCG) identified further mineralization from ongoing drilling at the Afema gold project in south-east Ivory Coast, according to a Tuesday Australian bourse filing.

The results were up to 28 meters at 2.17 grams per tonne gold (g/t) from 91 meters, including 15 meters at 3.32 g/t gold from 104 meters.

The company said the results are from resource extension and infill drilling on the Adiopan-Asupiri deposit, which hosts a current 1.32 million ounce mineral resource estimate (MRE) within the 4.65 million ounce Afema MRE.

Shallow drilling at the Sikasso prospect returned 21 meters at 2.29 g/t gold from 66 meters, with mineralization at both Bergerie and Sikasso occurring from surface and remaining open with further drilling underway, the filing added.

The Afema pre-feasibility study (PFS) is due in June, with five drill rigs currently operating with a focus on new discoveries, the company added.
