JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Sierra Leone-focused exploration company Sula Iron & Gold has signed a new 5 000 m drilling contract with Equity Drilling on its flagship Ferensola gold project.
Drilling will primarily focus on the TZ0 Sanama Hill targets.
The programme will aim to infill and extend the areas of known high-grade mineralisation and to improve the confidence in the geological interpretation as well as support a more accurate determination of the contained gold.
"We are pleased to be able to announce a further drilling programme focused on Sanama Hill, also aimed at the other compelling targets touched upon by our recently completed programme,” CEO Roger Murphey said.
Sula may also undertake further scout drilling on targets within the Ferensola licence.
The scout drilling will be designed around the pending second-batch assay results, and after the completion of a review of all data collected to date by Tect Geological Consulting, a South African structural geology firm.
