Goldrush Resources Ltd. Renews Gonaba Est Permit, Burkina Faso
26.02.2015 | The Newswire
Vancouver, Feb. 26, 2015 - Goldrush Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: GOD) ("Goldrush" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has recently received a three year renewal of its Gonaba Est exploration permit from the Ministry of Mines and Energy of Burkina Faso. The 60 square kilometre permit is located in southeastern Burkina Faso, approximately 250 kilometres southeast of the capital city of Ouagadougou, and about 25 kilometres north of Orbis Gold's Nabanga gold deposit.
The Nabanga deposit is defined at surface by a 2.3 kilometre long northeast trending zone of shallow artisanal gold workings, predominantly hosted within a magnetite rich granodiorite intrusive, with the gold mineralization associated with quartz veining and a distinctive alteration zone developed around the central quartz "lode". (Readers are cautioned that the mineralization character and setting as described for Nabanga does not imply that similar geology on the Goldrush property will host a deposit.)
An initial shallow reverse circulation drilling program on the Gonaba Est permit in 2011 tested the Konkofoni (Hong Kong) artisanal mining site and intersected 11.4 g/t Au over 1 metre centered at a vertical depth of 25 metres in hole GEKRR11-004, and 2.2 g/t Au over 6 metres centered at a vertical depth of 53.2 metres in hole GEKRR11-012. Both holes were on the westernmost drill fence and the mineralization encountered remains open to the west. Hole GEKR11-003, located on the Konkofoni West target intersected 5.1 g/t Au over 2 metres at a vertical depth of 26.2 metres*. Because of the Company's subsequent focus on developing the Ronguen gold deposit, these promising drilling results have not been followed up.
Goldrush's new Burkina Faso subsidiary, Goldrush West Africa SARL, has recently received final permit transfer documents from the Ministry of Mines and Energy acknowledging the transfer of three permits (Salbo, Ouavousse and PK60) from Goldrush's former subsidiary Goldrush Burkina SARL. The receipt of these transfer documents represents the final step in the reorganization of Goldrush's Burkina Faso subsidiaries following the October 2014 sale of Goldrush Burkina SARL.
