With this drilling campaign, the company seeks to increase mineral resources at the 2,355km2 property by identifying new deposits.

Pasofino Gold Africa Operations CEO Ian Stalker said: “Drill testing of just three of the many gold targets previously identified on the project led to the discovery of the large Tuzon and Dugbe F deposits.

“These host Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources of 2.3 and 1.3 Moz respectively, and our objective is to grow this resource by discovering new deposits and extending the existing resources.

“We are now ready to roll out a programme to test the best of 100+ targets present, some of which are ‘new’ and have obvious discovery potential; and drill possible extensions of the existing deposits.”
