Orezone Gold Corporation (TSX:ORE; ASX:ORE; OTCQX:ORZCF) has announced additional drill results from its ongoing multi-year exploration campaign at the Bomboré Gold Mine. These results focus on the North and P8P9 zones, where drilling targets higher-grade mineralization beneath the current life of mine pits.
Key drill highlights include the following:
- 1.59 g/t Au over 48.00m, including 4.86 g/t Au over 9.00m (BBD1358)
- 1.09 g/t Au over 45.00m, including 2.56 g/t Au over 8.00m (BBD1370), part of a broader intercept of 0.64 g/t Au over 157.00m
- 1.97 g/t Au over 16.10m, including 2.74 g/t Au over 10.10m (BPC7217)
- 2.01 g/t Au over 14.00m (BPC7216)
- Additional highlights include 2.67 g/t Au over 7.40m (BBD1367) and 1.63 g/t Au over 11.00m (BPC7216)
Patrick Downey, President and CEO stated, “These latest drill results confirm the down plunge continuity of multiple higher-grade sub-zones, with mineralized traces extending beneath the current resource pits, and remaining open at depth. The targeted drilling at the North and P8P9 zones further underscores the near-term potential at Bomboré to selectively pull higher-grade reserve pits to depth across the greater 14km long reserve defined trend. Of particular significance is the very broad sub-zone of mineralization at depth in P8P9. This zone does not appear at surface and is the broadest zone of continuous mineralization that has been intercepted at Bomboré, demonstrating significant exploration potential.
The results of this concentrated drilling serve to complement the ongoing wider spaced step-out drill program, which is focused on identifying new higher-grade centers of mineralization both at depth and near-surface along strike.
In H1-2025, approximately 30,000m of exploration drilling was completed at Bomboré. We are extremely pleased with the results and success of the program to date, which includes 1) extending North Zone footwall mineralization up to 200m below the current reserve pits along an 800m strike length (including 2.55g/t Au over 23.00m and 1.14g/t Au over 29.50m), 2) extending mineralization of the P17S high-grade sub-zone a further 300m down plunge (7.40g/t Au over 6.70m) and 3) identifying multiple broad near surface strike extensions (including 2.22g/t Au over 14.00m, 1.12g/t Au over 10.00m and 0.92g/t Au over 14.35m).
Drilling will continue in H2-2025 on multiple fronts in support of the Company’s long-term goal of increasing Bomboré’s current stated global resource from 5 million ounces to a targeted 7 to 10 million ounces longer term. This is truly an exciting prospect with the ongoing hard rock expansions positioned to increase Bomboré’s overall production to 220,000-250,000 ounces per annum.”
