Orezone Gold Corporation Updates on Bomboré Exploration
Vancouver, British Columbia - Orezone Gold Corporation (TSX: ORE, OTCQX: ORZCF) has released exciting findings from its ongoing exploration campaign at the Bomboré Gold Mine. These recent drilling results highlight multiple targets across the 14km-long Bomboré gold system, with significant opportunities for expansion still available.
Notable Drill Findings
The latest drilling efforts yielded impressive results, showcasing high-grade mineralization:
- 11.33 g/t Au over 11.00m (BBC6960)
- 10.28 g/t Au over 5.00m (BBC7132)
- 6.79 g/t Au over 8.00m and 2.22 g/t Au over 14.00m (BBC7141)
- 7.40 g/t Au over 6.70m (BBD1124)
- 6.61 g/t Au over 4.15m (BBD1341)
- 2.96 g/t Au over 10.00m (BBC7158)
These results confirm the potential of Bomboré to host additional significant resources. Patrick Downey, President and CEO, emphasized, "These latest drill results demonstrate the substantial exploration potential at Bomboré, indicating that the system remains open for further discovery both along strike and at depth."
Exploration Strategy and Future Plans
At P17, high-grade sub-zone mineralization has been traced a further 300m down plunge, and stepping out further at P16 has extended the mineralization by 600m northward. The ongoing exploration efforts at Bomboré will see heightened activity, especially at P16 and Siga, where broad mineralization indicates a promising future for resource expansion.
With a current stated resource of 5 million ounces, Orezone aims to increase its resource base to between 7 to 10 million ounces through meticulous exploration and development strategies. The first phase of the hard rock expansion is anticipated to enhance annual production significantly from the mining of hard rock reserves.
P17 Trend: High-Grade Mineralization Insights
Drilling at P17 has delineated the continuity of higher-grade mineralization within the sub-zones. Noteworthy intercepts include 5.22 g/t Au over 4.00m and 20.14 g/t Au over 2.00m. The company continues to refine its understanding of the factors that contribute to this high-grade mineralization, linking it to later-stage quartz veining.
Future Exploration Initiatives
Orezone is actively expanding its exploration model beyond the confines of the known shear zones. Early results from new drilling programs indicate that both the hanging wall and footwall may host additional gold deposits. There's promising potential in the newly identified HK Zone, which plans to undergo further exploration with extensive drilling programs.
Recent Findings and Revenue Growth Perspectives
The Bomboré project is currently in the midst of a production expansion phase aimed at achieving an output between 220,000 to 250,000 ounces annually. Significant intercepts have been observed in areas untouched by previous explorations, which presents a lucrative opportunity for Orezone.
