JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Canadian exploration company Savary Gold has started a 15 000 m drill programme at its Karankasso project, in Burkina Faso.

The project was a joint venture between Savary and West Africa-focused gold explorer Sarama Resources.

A drill contractor and geological and service personnel were mobilised to the south-western Burkina Faso site to initiate the programme aimed at following up on ore-grade intercepts from five previously modelled zones and testing nine newly developed targets.

“We look forward to receiving the results of this programme, which will advance the project and hopefully move it toward the estimation of a maiden mineral resource,” Sarama president and CEO Andrew Dinning said.

Sarama, which had a 35% interest in the project, said the first phase of the drill programme would comprise 63 reverse circulation drill holes totalling 6 600 m, with additional drill holes planned and executed following the completion and review of the first-phase results.
