African Gold (ASX:A1G) has released initial results from the first phase of its ambitious 10,000-metre drilling program at the Blaffo Guetto Project.
The program aims to expand high-grade mineralisation and explore prospective parallel trends.
Drilling has revealed high-grade intercepts on the main Blaffo Guetto trend, including 155m at 1.1 grams per tonne gold from 105m, featuring 52m at 2.9 g/t Au and 11m at 11.2 g/t from 178m.
Intercepts were identified in parallel trends, with 15m at 2.3 g/t Au from 113m and a 1m at 23.3 g/t Au from 7m.
African Gold is set to mobilise a second drilling rig to the Didievi site in February due to the success of the program.
The project, located in Côte d'Ivoire, aims to build upon the maiden inferred resource of 4.93 million tonnes for 452,000 ounces of gold at 2.9 g/t Au.
"We are excited to confirm the continuation of the high-grade trend identified in previous drilling. The results received so far are highly promising and will be instrumental in the upcoming resource update later this year," said Adam Oehlman, CEO of African Gold.
With an eye on updating the resource estimate in 2025, African Gold is positioned to further its exploration activities in the Didievi Project, pursuing additional high-grade prospects within its extensive tenement package.
At the time of reporting, African Gold's share price was $0.065.
