Savary Gold Commences Drilling at Karankasso Project
Toronto, Canada / TheNewswire / April 18, 2016 - Savary Gold Corp. (TSX-V: SCA) ("Savary" or the "Company") announces that drilling commenced on the Karangosso Project on April 16, 2016 as scheduled. The Karankasso JV Project located in south western Burkina Faso is currently 65% owned by Savary and 35% owned by Sarama Resources Ltd. ("Sarama").
The recommended and approved drill program totalling 6,500 metres in 45 to 55 holes is currently designed to follow-up on four of the six zones that contain resources, and to test new targets with an ongoing overall goal to increase the overall resources and to discover new zones. Zone drilling comprises approximately 53% of the currently planned drill metres. Follow-up holes will further target extensions to the known zones and any new discoveries that demonstrate superior potential to lower the discovery cost/ounce of resource.
"Our first six to eight core holes will test both existing and new gold-mineralized systems that, in the field, display, what management believes, demonstrates the best potential that we have developed to date, for both size and grade" stated Don Dudek, President and CEO of Savary. "Once these holes are completed, follow-up RC holes are designed to test: for extensions to known zones; for new gold occurrences; new conceptual targets. As always, we eagerly anticipate the assay results."
A total of 30 holes comprising 4,235 metres have been planned to date representing 65% of the budgeted metres. Approximately 25% of the program's drill meters will be core holes with the remainder, reverse circulation ("RC") holes. Additional holes will be planned once these initial holes are drilled and supporting assay or visual results are received. It is expected that the drill program will take approximately six weeks to complete.
