New Alliance Prospect Delivers a Further 3km of Strike to the Empire Gold Trend Odienné Project Cote d'Ivoire
![New Alliance Prospect Delivers a Further 3km of Strike to the Empire Gold Trend Odienné Project Cote d'Ivoire](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
Highlights:
- New 1km long, >100 part per billion ("ppb") surface gold ("Au") anomaly has been defined from termitaria sampling at the Alliance Prospect, Empire Corridor. Peak gold value returned was 441ppb (Figure 3).
- The 100ppb surface Au anomaly lies within a larger (3km in length), > 15ppb Au anomaly. Mineralization is open both along strike and to the north.
The Alliance Prospect mirrors the Empire Main discovery in a similar 'pressure shadow' structural position on the opposite side of a late intrusive body (the "Rebel Intrusion") emplaced along the northern margin of the Empire structural corridor (Figure 2). Approximately 50% of results have now been returned from a larger 1,340 sample 400x100m termitaria survey along the Empire Corridor. Descriptive statistics from results returned are shown in Table 1.

Company CEO Glen Parsons commented today:
"It is very pleasing to see new gold anomalies continuing to be uncovered through the team's focussed and systematic exploration approach at the Odienné project. Our work continues to not only reveal new gold and gold/copper anomalies, but also confirms the highly prospective nature of the Odienné project and its camp scale potential in different settings.
The Empire Corridor continues to reveal itself as a significant gold bearing fluid pathway at Odienné, with significant potential to build ounces to the already robust foundation of the Empire Main discovery. The Alliance Target lies to the east along the northern boundary of Empire Corridor and has the same scale and tenor geochemical footprint as the Empire Main discovery. The team is fast tracking Alliance to a drill ready status.
Furthermore, this new anomalism compliments the exciting 5km long Sceptre copper, gold anomaly approximately 10km to the NW of the Alliance target where we focus on the IOCG style Charger mineralization.
We look forward rapidly developing and advancing these targets."

Quality Control and Assurance
Analytical work for auger/soil and termitaria geochemical samples is being carried out at the independent Intertek Laboratories Australia Ltd. an ISO 17025 (2017) Certified Laboratory. Samples are stored at the Company's field camps and put into sealed bags until collected by Intertek from the Company's secure Bondoukou or Odienné office and transported by Intertek to their laboratory in Tarkwa, Ghana for preparation. Samples are logged in the tracking system, weighed, dried and pulverized to better than 85%, passing a 75-micron screen, this pulp sample is then shipped to Australia where 10-gram split is analysed by ICP/MS with an Aqua Regia digest. Blanks, duplicates and certified reference material (standards) are being used to monitor laboratory performance during the analysis.
