Pelangio Provides Exploration Update

05.02.2018  |  FSCwire

Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Pelangio Exploration Inc. (PX:TSX-V; OTC PINK:PGXPF) (“Pelangio” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it will begin diamond drilling at the Manfo Project in Ghana, West Africa. Pelangio also announces revisions to the Option and Joint Venture Agreement with RosCan Minerals Corp. (“RosCan”) on the Dormaa Project.

Pelangio reports that a man portable diamond drill rig is now on site at the Manfo property with diamond drilling expected to begin within a week.

“We are excited that the recently completed $1.2 million financing has enabled us to adjust the 2018 program to include significant diamond drilling on the Manfo Project to test 8 target areas,” commented Warren Bates, Senior Vice President of Exploration of Pelangio. “These target areas include follow up on previously drilled sections at Pokukrom East, one of three deposits included in the Maiden Resource Statement completed in June 2013 by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. In addition, the more recently discovered Nkansu zone will also be targeted to follow up on previous drilling, including holes, SGRC-322 which intersected 49.5m at 1.18 g/t Au and SGRC-332 which intersected 42m at 1.00 g/t Au.”

The 2018 work program has been adjusted to focus on diamond drilling. This revised program consists of 18 to 20 holes of diamond drilling, totalling approximately 4000 metres, to test 8 target areas. The program will emphasize stepping out from known mineralization at 50 or 100 meter intervals. The initial diamond drill program will be completed on priority target areas at Nkansu and 3 priority target areas in the middle, south and north ends of Pokukrom East. Other targets will be assessed pending initial results, and include Nfante East, North Nkansu, Odumasi, and a 3km section of the main structure that remains unexplored.
 

At Pokukrom East, the priority targets for diamond drilling lie in the middle and directly to the north and south of Pokukrom East.

The target areas at the north end of Pokukrom East will follow up on four holes:

  • SPDD-178 (26m at 1.35 g/t Au from 170 to 196m)3
  • SPDD-172 (23m at 1.03 g/t Au from surface)1
  • SPDD-128 (16m at 1.59 g/t Au from 62 to 78m)5 and,
  • SPDD-089 (46m at 1.03 g/t Au from 56 to 102m)2

The target in the middle of Pokukrom East will include follow up on hole:

  • SPDD-166 (19m at 2.24 g/t from 263 to 282m)1

The target areas to the south of Pokukrom East, which is open down-dip, down-plunge and to the south, will follow up on holes:

  • SPDD-159 (9m at 2.48 g/t Au from surface)1
  • SPDD-143 (16m at 1.11 g/t from 72 to 88m)4 and,
  • SPDD-219 (47m at 0.97 g/t Au from 82 to 129m)6   

The Nkansu area is located 2.5 kilometers to the south west of the Pokukrom East deposit. Nkansu was discovered in November 2011, after a single drill hole tested a two point, 40ppb (very weak) gold in soil anomaly, coincident with an interpreted structure from airborne magnetic data. The area is approximately 1100 meters north-south by 800 meters east-west.

 At Nkansu the down-plunge drilling will follow up on two holes:

  • SGRC-322 (49.5m at 1.18 g/t from 54.8 m to hole bottom at 104.3m)7 and,
  • SGRC-332 (42m at 1.00 g/t from 95.5 m to 137.5m)8

All mineralized intercepts are core lengths, true widths are expected to be 75-85% of core lengths.

Arrangements for preferential access to the diamond drill rig from a Ghanaian drilling company have been made similar to the arrangments made with the company previously for the use of the cost effective convertible Grasshopper drill rig for air core and reverse circulation drilling.

Amended and Restated Option and Joint Venture Agreement

The agreement regarding the Dormaa Project, made with RosCan Minerals Corp. (“RosCan”) on November 7, 2016, has been amended and restated to provide RosCan the right to assume operatorship when it has sucessfully earned a 50% interest in the Project. It also reflects the continuing delay in the startup of the drill program resulting from the local engagement program.

To earn its interest, RosCan is now required to make the following payments:

a)  fund Cdn $1,700,000 in exploration expenditures, as follows:
