JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – TSX-V-listed Volcanic Gold Mines has completed almost 3 000 m of reverse-circulation and diamond drilling and over 6 000 m of air-core drilling at its Mandiana project and the recently acquired adjoining land from West African Mining Associates (Wama) in Guinea.

This month, the company expects to embark on a high-resolution airborne magnetic survey flown at 50 m line spacing and low sensor clearance to obtain important targeting information associated with known mineralised trends.

“As well as serving to infill the mineral resource, the purpose of drilling is to gain vital information on the geological controls on mineralisation, as a basis for targeting further resource drilling activities later in 2017,” Volcanic said in an update to shareholders on Friday.

The company said RC drilling is also being advanced at the Farabakoura target at the Wama project to confirm high-grade historic results, while air-core drilling was ongoing to explore strike and lateral extensions to mineralisation to the north, east and south of the Yagbelen Resource and along a north-south axis at Farabakoura.

“Drilling is being performed in a series of fences established at 100 m to 200 m intervals, along which inclined holes are drilled at 40 m to 50 m spacings. This rapid, low-cost approach to exploration has been designed to provide detailed and accurate information on near-term resource targets,” Volcanic concluded.
