Additionally, Roscan is pleased to announce plans for the upcoming rainy season and 2020 drill program at its 100% owned Kandiole Project in West Africa, Mali. Expected to kick off in early July of 2020, the Company is planning a further 15,000m drill campaign and have an additional 2 drill rigs at site. This will take it to 4 drill rigs at site for a total of 45,000m drill program in 2020. Currently, Roscan has 3 drill rigs at site and the 4th drill rig is expected to arrive in early July 2020.

Roscan initially started with a 10,000m drill program in January 2020 and quickly tripled its drill program to 30,000m for 2020 in February. (Please see previously announced press release dated February 27, 2020).

The Company intends to provide a comprehensive exploration update of drilling on both Mankouke South and Kandiole later this month.
