Gryphon Minerals
Gryphon Minerals (ASX: GRY) is a Perth-based mineral exploration company established with the express purpose of exploring and developing gold deposits in West Africa. At the company's flagship Banfora Gold Project an aggressive drilling and regional exploration programme is being carried out to assist in unlocking the full potential of the project. Gryphon considers the results to date to be extremely significant, reinforcing the potential for the Banfora Gold Project to host large scale gold mineralisation.
Gryphon Minerals reveals high grade rock chips found at Banfora Gold Project, Africa
West African focussed gold developer Gryphon Minerals (ASX:GRY) has reported stunning rock chip sample grades up to 53.1 g/t at its Banfora Gold Project.
Interestingly, these were found along strike of the current resource. A new parallel structure was also identified where rock chips found graded 7.5g/t and 6.5g/t gold.
An ongoing drilling programme will test these new mineralised extensions over the coming weeks as well as along strike from the previously released drill intercept in BNRC823 of 24m @ 4.75g/t gold.
The current drilling programme will continue to target shallow high grade gold mineralisation (≈100 meters vertical depth) outside of the current inferred resources of 10.6Mt @ 2.4g/t for 820,000oz gold resource estimate.
Gryphon will release a new resource estimate in the second half of 2009 at the Banfora Gold Project.
Investors may recall the Banfora Gold Project is located in the south‐west of Burkina Faso, West Africa in a major gold producing district.
This is host to such world class gold deposits as Tongon (4.2Moz) Syama (5 Million oz Au mined & 6.5 Million oz Au in resources) and Morila (6.5Moz).
Gryphon's project is owned 100% by Gryphon Minerals and contains contiguous exploration licenses covering approximately 1150km2 of a major gold district. The project is easily accessible by road and in close proximity to the town of Banfora and the major city of Bobo Diolasso. Grid power is located approximately 30km from the eastern boundary of the project.
