Resolute Mining Limited reported additional high grade results from diamond drilling at the Syama Gold Mine (Syama) in Mali. The current drilling program has significantly improved on the initial positive results from drillhole SYDD442 on section 22800N. These new results continue to highlight the exceptional size and quality of the mineralisation. Development of the Syama underground mine is progressing on schedule and is currently expected to deliver strong margins over more than 12 years of mining. The Nafolo discovery is located immediately South of the Syama mineral resource where historic exploration drilling by BHP was limited to 500m wide spaced lines of shallow (30m) sterilisation reverse circulation drilling. A number of these holes confirm anomalous gold at surface indicating significant untested space to potentially host another large gold deposit along the extensions of the Syama Shear. The Syama deep drilling program was commenced in late 2015 with the ambition of substantially expanding the Syama underground resource. The Nafolo discovery hole intercepts were received from drilling on section 22800N and included: SYDD442 19m @ 2.57g/t Au from 273m; and 18m @ 3.02g/t Au from 372m. The second drillhole (SYDD446) in the Nafolo program was drilled down dip of the discovery hole on section 22800N. The mineralisation in this hole is over 170m in width and the highest grades occur in mineralisation and alteration typical of the main Syama orebody. Significant intercepts received from the second hole on section 22800N include: SYDD446 41m @ 4.93g/t Au from 281m; and 37m @ 3.09g/t Au from 372m. The significant intercepts in drillhole SYDD446 were in addition to a number of other intercepts including 6m @ 2.22g/t Au; 3m @ 2.26g/t Au; 8m @ 3.70g/t Au; 16m @ 1.38g/t Au and 9m @ 1.74g/t Au which comprised the 170m zone of mineralisation. The third hole (SYDD447) into the Nafolo discovery was drilled 100m to the south of the discovery hole. Significant intercepts assays received from this hole on section 22700N include: SYDD447 13m @ 6.95g/t Au from 434m; and 11m @ 2.38g/t Au from 472m. The fourth hole (SYDD448) was drilled down dip of SYDD447, 100m south and along strike of SYDD446 (41m @ 4.93g/t Au & 37m @ 3.09g/t Au). Significant intercepts received from this hole on section 22700N include: SYDD448 10m @ 3.63g/t Au from 385m; and 29m @ 4.72g/t Au from 446m. During the course of drilling SYDD448 the rod string was lost downhole at 485m, well short of the target depth of 570m. The hole was in mineralisation when abandoned and will be continued as a wedged daughter hole. Further mineralisation is expected in the 90m of Syama greenstone remaining before the end of the planned hole.
