Stratex noted that the low-grade zones in Baytilaye defined by a cut-off of 0.3g/t of gold, are surrounded by wider envelopes of mineralisation defined by 0.1g/t of gold cut-off.

The company has completed the detailed mapping of the southern target area of Madina Bafé, which will be used to determine gold-bearing veins that should be prioritised for drilling.

Stratex International CEO Bob Foster said the latest drilling results for Faré South continue to indicate the existence of a substantial mineralised gold system that appears to be associated with a porphyry complex.

"The true dimensions and overall geometry of the mineralised body have yet to be clearly defined, but the long intersections being returned are very encouraging indeed and follow-up drilling will be a priority," Foster said.
