Nexus Gold to Conduct Geochemical Program at Dakouli 2 Project, Burkina Faso, West Africa

20.03.2019  |  The Newswire
Vancouver, March 20, 2019 - Nexus Gold Corp. ("Nexus" or the "Company") (TSX-V: NXS, OTCQB: NXXGF, FSE: N6E) is pleased to report geochemical results from recent exploration activity at the 100% -owned, 98-sq km Dakouli 2 Gold Project, located on the Goren Greenstone Belt, central Burkina Faso, West Africa.

The Company recently completed a termite mound sampling program that tested 100 targets extending some 2500 meters west, and 350 meters south, from the northeastern boundary of the Dakouli 2 exploration permit.

The survey was designed to follow up on high-grade rock samples reported earlier this year (see Company news releases dated January 8 and January 14, 2019). These samples (see Table 1) were collected from surface workings ("Orpaillages") and at depth, located at the northeast corner of the Dakouli property and the southeast corner of the Company's adjacent Niangouela exploration permit.

The termite geochemical data obtained from the survey has outlined an anomalous zone extending some 500 meters west from the current workings. Based on these results the Company is now initiating a 190-line kilometer soil geochemical survey covering the northern half of the Dakouli 2 property and southern portions of the contiguous Niangouela property.

This survey will generate important geophysical and structural data that will aid the Company is determining priority drill targets for an upcoming maiden drill program at the Dakouli 2 concession.

"The compilation of exploration data is an important step for Dakouli," said president & CEO, Alex Klenman. "Although we're anxious to drill test several areas, particularly those that have produced visible gold, a methodical approach to prioritizing those drill targets will give us the best opportunity for exploration success," continued Mr. Klenman.

The Dakouli 2 exploration permit is located approximately 100 kilometers due north of the capital city Ouagadougou. The 98-square kilometer permit lies immediately south of the Company's Niangouela property which has been explored over the past two years. Drilling at Niangouela has returned significant intercepts, including 26.69 games-per-tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 4.85m (including 1m of 132 g/t Au), and 4 g/t Au over 6m (including 20.5 g/t Au over 1m).

In late 2018 the Company conducted an initial mapping/sampling program at Dakouli 2, collecting 25 samples at that time. 11 samples returned values greater than 1 g/t Au and five samples exhibited various concentrations of coarse, nuggety, visible gold, returning assay values greater than 11 g/t Au. All 25 samples taken to date at Dakouli 2 have tested positive, with several returning significant gold values (see Table 1).

Table 1: Dakouli 2 samples to date

The Dakouli 2 property is located on the Goren Greenstone belt and is bordered to the north by granitic rocks. It is also bisected by the Sabce Shear, a major structural fault zone proximal to multiple gold deposits, which trends southwest northeast and bisects the entire long axis of the property.
