Roxgold Extends QV1 Mineralization at Bagassi South Intersecting 13.7 gpt Au Over 7.2 Metres

11.08.2015  |  CNW

Step out drilling to the south of the Bagassi Dyke indicates continuity of broad mineralization and continues to grow strike length at QV1 Extension.

TORONTO, Aug. 11, 2015 /CNW/ - Roxgold Inc. (ROG: TSX.V) ("Roxgold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the latest results from its latest drilling from QV1 at the Bagassi South regional exploration target.

BAGASSI SOUTH DRILLING HIGHLIGHTS:

  • 13.7 gpt gold over 7.2 metres including 13.7 gpt over 1.5 metres and 40.3 over 1.5 meters in diamond drill hole YRM-15-DD-BGS-090.
  • 11.0 gpt gold over 7.5 metres including 33.7 gpt over 0.8 metres and 19.4 gpt over 1.7 metres in diamond drill hole YRM-15-DD-BGS-091
  • 14.5 gpt gold over 6.1 metres in diamond drill hole YRM-15-DD-BGS-095.

"Intersecting high grade mineralization south of the Bagassi Dyke confirms our geological model for QV1 and underlines the potential here," commented John Dorward, Roxgold's President and CEO. "Drilling has now added approximately 90 additional metres of strike length to the QV1 extension which is still open both up and down dip and along plunge."

Bagassi South Results:

The results announced today are from an 8 hole 1,900 metre diamond drill program that was designed to test for mineralization to the south of the Bagassi dyke as well as evaluate the up dip potential on the northern side of the dyke above diamond drill holes ("DDH") 083 and 085 which were released to the market on May, 05 2015.

  • DDH 088 was drilled to test for the mafic contact, south of the dyke and above the plunge of the QV1 target as an orientation hole.
  • Subsequently DDH 089, 090 and 091 were drilled along the plunge to test for plunge extension along the QV1 trend.  All three holes intersected mineralised structure with both DDH 089 and 090 returning broad high grade intercepts.
  • DDH 091 intersected the structure a further 50 metres to the south of holes 089 and 090.
  • DDH 094 tested for mineralization along the southern contact of the projected dyke contact but intersected the dyke and was terminated.
  • DDH 092, 093 tested up dip of holes 083 and 085 respectively and confirmed the continuity of the mineralized structure up dip.
  • DDH 095 was designed to infill along plunge between DDH 093 and 085 and confirms the continuity of the mineralization over the 50 metres strike length between the two adjacent holes. Mineralization encountered in 095 was in line with expectations.

More exploration drilling is planned south of the dyke to follow up on this program in Q3 and Q4 of 2015 to continue to test and define the extents of mineralization at QV1 which remains open down dip and plunge.

* True Widths for QV1 intersections are estimated to be between 85 and 90% of reported core intervals.

The QV1 target at Bagassi South is located 1.8 kilometres to the south of the 55 Zone where Roxgold continues construction activities on the Yaramoko Gold Project.

No resources have yet been estimated for the QV1 target at this time.

Qualified Person

Ben Pullinger, P.Geo, Vice President of Exploration for Roxgold Inc., a Qualified Person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101, has verified and approved the technical data disclosed this press release. This includes the sampling, analytical and test data underlying the information.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control

Drill holes reported in this press release were drilled using NQ sized diamond drill bits. Company personnel are located at the drill site. Contractors and employees of Roxgold conducted all logging and sampling. The core was logged, marked up for sampling using standard lengths of two metres outside of the "zone" and adjusted to lithological contacts up to one metre within the "zone".  Samples are then cut into equal halves using a diamond saw.  One half of the core was left in the original core box and stored in a secure location at the Roxgold camp within the Yaramoko area.  The other half was sampled, catalogued and placed into sealed bags and securely stored at the site until it was shipped to Act Labs (the "Lab") in Ouagadougou.  The core was dried and crushed by the Lab and a 150 gram pulp was prepared from the coarse crushed material.  The Lab then conducted routine gold analysis using a 50 gram charge and fire assay with an atomic absorption finish. Samples returning over 5.0 gpt were also analysed by gravimetric analysis.  Quality control procedures included the systematic insertion of blanks, duplicates and sample standards into the sample stream.  In addition, the Lab inserted its own quality control samples.
