- 22.11 g/t Au over 6m from 89m
- 2.51 g/t Au over 12m from 3m (including 3.32 g/t Au over 7m)
- Two new zones discovered at the Diba NW prospect, 800m northwest of Diba Deposit.
- A Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") for the Diba Deposit comprises:
- 4,834,000 tonnes at 1.39 g/t Au for 217,000 ounces in the Indicated category
- 5,479,000 tonnes at 1.06 g/t Au for 187,000 ounces in the Inferred category
- Further assay results from the balance of the drilling programme anticipated shortly
- Follow up drilling planned for Q2 of 2021 to include currently undrilled prospects
- Diba is strategically located in a world-famous gold belt that hosts numerous open-pit mines
Steven Poulton, Chief Executive of Altus, commented:
"We are delighted to report on the excellent results returned from the ongoing 10,000m RC drilling programme at the Diba gold project in Western Mali, including 3.34 g/t Au over 60m from 17m downhole from within the Diba Deposit. Separately we are highly encouraged by intercepts outside the margins of the current MRE envelope, indicating along strike and down-dip continuation, including 4.48 g/t Au over 15m from 22m on its western side and 22.11 g/t Au over 6m from 89m on its eastern side.
"The current drilling programme is also testing satellite prospects to the main Diba Deposit. Initial results received from the Diba NW prospect indicate the discovery of two potentially significant, shallow-dipping, and consistent zones of mineralisation totalling approximately 750m in strike length with intersections including 0.87 g/t Au over 21m from 79m.
"A number of priority prospects have not been tested in the current programme, and we anticipate that these will be drilled in a follow-up programme once physical access to the drill rig is complete. In the meantime, we look forward to updating shareholders on further assay results from the current programme as they are received."
Diba Project: Drilling Programme
The RC drilling programme is currently being undertaken by Capital Drilling Limited and, once complete, will comprise approximately 110 holes totalling approximately 10,000m. Approximately 4,800m (over 52 holes) is being drilled in and around that part of the Diba Deposit subject to the MRE, testing the potential down-dip and along strike extensions, as well as infilling areas to increase the resource confidence. Approximately 5,200m is being drilled to test up to five priority prospects each located within 3km of the Diba Deposit.
The results for assays returned for the first 51 holes covering a total of 4886m of drilling are summarised in Table 1 below. These holes were drilled at -60 degrees inclination and ranged between 50m to 270m in length. Drilling has been orientated perpendicular to the strike of the Diba Deposit and the interpreted structural orientation of the target areas.
The programme was designed to:
- Test potential extension of that part of the Diba Deposit subject to the MRE along strike and down dip
- Increase the resource confidence of the MRE, including the NE trending high-grade zone
- Test the potential for mineralisation at five surrounding prospects within 3km of that part of the Diba Deposit subject to the MRE
- Provide QAQC support for the Diba Deposit model
Testing potential extension of the Diba MRE
Drilling was undertaken along strike (to the north and south), down-dip (to the east) and also targeted the potential for lenses to the west. To date, approximately 4,345m of drilling has been completed in 23 holes, and assay results have been returned for 14 holes (covering approximately 1396m of drilling). Three holes remain to be drilled.
The results received to date confirm potential on strike and down dip extensions, including:
- continuation of mineralisation down-dip in the east
- 22.11 g/t Au over 6m from 89m downhole (20KSRC049)
- 0.73 g/t Au over 3m from 80m downhole (20KSRC-050)
- continuation of mineralisation up-dip to the west
- 0.54 g/t Au over 2m from 17m downhole (20KSRC-004)
- 5.42 g/t Au over 2m from 46m downhole (20KSRC-005)
- along strike to the south
- 1.23 g.t Au over 5m from 87m downhole (20KSRC-009)
Increase the resource confidence of the MRE, including the NE trending high grade zone
Approximately 1,384m of drilling has been completed in 15 holes within that part of the Diba Deposit subject to the MRE, particularly targeting the interpreted high-grade northeast trending zone. Assay results from six holes have been received to date with an additional six holes remaining to be drilled.
The results received to date confirm high grade and near surface mineralisation, including:
- 7.18 g/t Au over 9m from 26m downhole (20KSRC-006)
- 29.65 g/t Au over 2m from 26m downhole (20KSRC-028)
- 3.34 g/t/Au over 60m from 17m downhole (20KSRC-051)
Test the potential for mineralisation at five surrounding prospects within 3km of the MRE
Approximately 5,275m of drilling has been completed in 56 holes across five targets. Assay results have been received for 30 holes to date with an additional two holes remaining to be drilled.
The results received to date validate the exploration potential near to the Diba Deposit, including:
- 0.75 g/t Au over 16m from 3m downhole (20KSRC-019)
- 0.87 g/t Au over 21m from 79m downhole (20KSRC-041)
Provide QAQC support for the Diba Deposit model
A number of holes were planned proximal to historic holes to validate previous assay results and intersections in the Diba Deposit model. So far one hole has been completed and a further three holes are to be drilled.
The results received to date validate the historic assay data and intersections, including:
- 3.34 g/t Au over 60m from 17m downhole (20KSRC-051)

Mineral Resource Update
The Company intends to incorporate the results from the current drill programme when all have been received and compiled into an updated MRE for the Diba Deposit. Diba currently hosts an MRE of 217,000 ounces at 1.39 g/t Au (Indicated) and 187,000 ounces at 1.06 g/t Au (Inferred) in both oxide and fresh domains as set out in Table 2. The MRE was previously reported by the Company on 06 July 2020 (see Altus' news release titled "Significant Gold Resource at Diba Project, Western Mali").

Notes:
- The MRE has an effective date of 06 July 2020.
- The Mineral Resources in the MRE are classified according to the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) "Estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Best Practice Guidelines" dated 29 November, 2019 and CIM "Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves" dated 10 May, 2014.
- Mineral Resources are reported within a pit shell and are reported to a base-case cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au.
- The quantity and grade of reported Inferred Resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred Resources as an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource category.
- Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, marketing, or other relevant issues.
- All tonnages reported are dry metric tonnes. Minor discrepancies may occur due to rounding to appropriate significant figures.
- Tonnages are rounded to 1,000t and gold to 1,000oz as this is an estimate.
Diba Project: Location
The 81km2 Diba (Korali Sud licence) project is located in the Kayes region of western Mali, approximately 450km northwest of the capital city of Bamako. The Project sits 5km west of the Company's Lakanfla gold project, which is under joint venture with ASX listed Marvel Gold Limited and approximately 13km south of the multi-million ounce Sadiola gold mine and 35km south of the multi-million ounce Yatela former gold mine, both owned by Allied Gold Corp. Diba is bounded by the Sadiola permit on its northern and eastern boundaries. Mineralisation hosted on these properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralisation hosted at Diba.
Diba Project: Geology and Mineralisation
Mineralisation at the Diba project is sediment-hosted within a series of stacked lenses, typically between 20m and 40m thick. The lenses are shallow-dipping at approximately 30 degrees angled to the east/east-southeast. The Diba Deposit is considered to be controlled by a number of northwest and northeast orientated structures, with gold occurring as fine-grained disseminations in localised high-grade calcite-quartz veinlets. Alteration at Diba is typically albite-hematite+/-pyrite, although pyrite content is generally very low (<1 %). The weathering profile at the Project is estimated to be up to 70m vertical depth, resulting in extensive oxidation from surface. The oxide gold mineralisation at Diba is predominantly found in saprolite within 50m of surface and across a compact 700m x 700m area.
QAQC
All RC samples were collected following industry best practices with an appropriate number and type of certified reference materials (standards), blanks and duplicates inserted to ensure an effective QAQC regime. Drilling at Diba is being conducted by Capital Drilling Limited. Samples were collected at 1m sample intervals and a representative sample was split at the site and sent for analysis at SGS SARL (Bamako, Mali) by fire assay technique FAE505. All standard, blanks and duplicates have been reviewed and no significant issues with the data have been identified.
