Orca Gold Inc. announced that it has confirmed the discovery of a significant mineralised system at its Morondo gold exploration permit in Côte d'Ivoire New drill intercepts of up to 48 m at 1.62g/t Au (MRC054) and 94 m at 1.12g/t Au (MRC053). Confirmation and expansion of 2010 Red Back Mining Inc. discovery. Mineralisation over 600 m strike and drilled to a depth of up to 170 m. Excellent leaching characteristics in metallurgical test work with +/- 96% recovery in fresh rock. Mineralisation at Morondo was first discovered by Red Back Mining in 2010 with intercepts of up to 66 m at 1.53g/t gold from a programme of shallow, reverse circulation ("RC") drilling (<60 m vertical). A mineralised target over 600m in strike length was defined with a true width of up to 150 m. In December 2017, following the receipt of Ministerial approval for the acquisition of a portfolio of exploration permits and applications from Kinross Gold Corporation, Orca completed a short programme of 13 RC holes for 2,211 m, testing the mineralisation at Morondo to a vertical depth of 170 m. All holes successfully intersected the mineralisation over significant widths and up to a maximum of 170 m from surface. The zone dips approximately 50° to the north west and is hosted in altered mafic volcanics containing disseminated pyrite. In 2014, three samples of RC chips taken from fresh rock from the previous programme and containing disseminated sulphides, were submitted for leach test work at the SGS Metallurgical Laboratory in the United Kingdom. These samples returned an average recovery of 96% with moderate to low cyanide and lime consumption. Based upon the success of the company recent drilling, the next programme will include core drilling to confirm geology and provide further samples for metallurgical test work, RC drilling to expand the discovery and further surface exploration on this highly prospective permit.
