Concordia Continues to Expand Gold System at Kerboule Project, Burkina Faso

![Concordia Continues to Expand Gold System at Kerboule Project, Burkina Faso](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
Highlights include: 20 m at 2.39 g/t gold ("Au") (hole KBS-RC-005); 29 m at 7.43 g/t Au (KBS-RC-010); 23 m at 1.27 g/t Au (KBS-RC-012); 40 m at 1.94 g/t Au (KBS-RC-013); 38 m at 3.95 g/t Au (KB-DD-005); 29 m at 4.0 g/t Au (KB-RC-010); and 4 m at 15.79 g/t over 4m (YAL-RC-001).
Six areas were drilled within the five-kilometer Kerboule-Yalema mineralization trend, confirming and extending the known mineralization at Kerboule Main, Kerboule North, Kerboule South, and Yalema. Further work is required in this area to identify the source of the significant artisanal workings in Yalema East in view of the inconclusive results to date.
In addition to the above, limited drilling was carried out on new geophysical anomalies and a new area of mineralization has been identified at 'Kerboule Village South East'. These results are significant, as it confirms mineralization over a much broader zone than the known Kerboule-Yalema trend.
Significant new intersections from the main target areas are shown below.

The gold mineralization in the Kerboule area consists predominately of discrete stockwork zones located at sheared lithological contacts. The mineralization occurs within tubular bodies lying sub-parallel to the main foliation fabric, the 'Inata-Kerboule shear zone'. The 2012 drilling program was designed define an initial mineral resource at Kerboule South, Kerboule Main and Kerboule North.

The forward-looking information relate to, among other things, the receipt of necessary permits to conduct exploration and construction, timing of anticipated exploration program and results of current exploration program, the number of the holes and meters to be drilled and future plans of the Company. Forward-looking information is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking information, including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties relating to risks inherent in mining including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected geological formations, ground control problems and flooding; risks associated with the estimation of mineral resources and reserves and the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits; the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with the Company's expectations; the potential for and effects of labour disputes or other unanticipated difficulties with or shortages of labour or interruptions in production; actual ore mined varying from estimates of grade, tonnage, dilution and metallurgical and other characteristics; the inherent uncertainty of production and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses, commodity price fluctuations; uncertain political and economic environments; changes in laws or policies, delays or the inability to obtain necessary governmental permits; and other risks and uncertainties, including those described in each management discussion and analysis. Forward-looking information is in addition based on various assumptions including, without limitation, the expectations and beliefs of management, the assumed long term price of metals; appropriate equipment and sufficient labour and that the political environment where the Company operates will continue to support the development and operation of mining projects. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward-looking information. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update the forward-looking information to reflect changes in assumptions or changes in circumstances or any other events affecting such information, other than as required by applicable law.
