West African gold explorer and developer Tietto Minerals Limited (ASX: TIE) has hit further shallow high‐grade gold results from infill drilling completed at AG Core, part of its 3.45Moz Abujar Gold Project in Côte d’Ivoire.
Highlights:
- Tietto adds more shallow high‐grade gold intercepts from infill drilling (25m spacing) at AG Core on the main Abujar Shear at its 3.45Moz Abujar Gold Project; results include: 1.72m @ 61.27 g/t Au from 9m incl. 0.72m @ 144.34 g/t Au (ZDD1192A – Section 25A); 22m @ 1.3 g/t Au from 34m incl. 1m @ 11.15 g/t Au (ZDD1222 – Section 28C); and2m @ 9.2 g/t Au from 33m incl. 1m @ 16.63 g/t Au (ZDD1194 – Section 25A)
- Latest results received from AG Core infill drilling (30 DD holes for 3,063m), part of an expanded program targeting delineation of Measured Resources (over 2.9km) expected to be mined during the first two years of Abujar gold production
- Assays pending for infill holes (38 DD holes for 7,095m) drilled at AG Core and AG South
- Tietto’s six diamond rigs are actively drilling, with more than 100,000m of drilling forecast in CY22
“Our infill drilling continues to add more shallow high‐grade gold intercepts to AG Core. These intercepts provide confirmation of the continuity of these plunging high‐grade shoots from close‐spaced 25m drilling,” Managing Director, Dr Caigen Wang, said.
“These latest results are from an expanded infill drilling program aiming to grow our Measured Resources over a 2.9km strike between Section Lines 0 to 29 at AG Core and AG South, as we expect to mine these areas during the first two years of Abujar gold production.
“Our exploration team is in the process of moving four of our DD rigs to test exploration targets on the main Abujar Shear, which remains still largely untested, and undertake new resource definition drilling.
“We are fully funded to production at Abujar, which has potential to be one of the largest gold producing mines in Côte d’Ivoire, with an expected production of 260,000 ounces of gold in the first year and 1.2M ounces of gold in the first six years.
“Tietto has an experienced team on board to deliver Abujar on time and on budget. We are on track to deliver another mineral resource update this year. Shareholders can also expect further updates from our aggressive diamond drilling program as we advance our dual strategy of ‘Drill and Build’ and develop our Abujar Project into West Africa’s next gold mine, with first gold by the end of Q4 CY22.”
