Blackthorn Resources releases phase 3 drilling results
Blackthorn Resources (ASX: BTR) has provided a progress report for gold exploration activities on its 100% owned exploration tenements at Burkina Faso in West Africa.
The Company completed the Phase 3 Rotary Air Blast drilling program comprising a total of 236 holes for 4,063m to test several anomalies beneath laterite and/or alluvial cover.
The program was completed in 2 stages as the annual wet season and crop harvests in the region inhibited access to some planned targets over 5 prospects.
Results from the first stage of the program were announced on 12 October 2009. The second stage of drilling completed an additional 196 shallow, vertical RAB holes totalling 3,477 metres. Preliminary gold assay results were received from all prospects. Assays for base metals Copper, Lead and Zinc were received from the POA prospect only and all other results are pending.
Preliminary assay results have identified gold mineralisation on the TZ-21 prospect which includes a drilled thickness intersection of 24m at 2.25 g/t gold in hole TZ21-RB-023.
The second stage of the Phase 3 program comprised 196 RAB holes totalling 3,477m drilled on 5 prospects including POA, IK, Q22, TZ-21 and SEMAPOUN.
Follow-up exploration will consider additional drilling by RAB, RC and/or Cored methods together with extensions to geophysical survey grids
Newmont Ventures is conducting gravity and stream sediment sampling in the region and has agreed to continue this work over tenements held by Blackthorn Resources. The program is being funded by Newmont and results of the data will be shared with Blackthorn Resources
