West African Resources (ASX: WAF) has intersected new thick zones of copper-gold and molybdenum mineralisation at the wholly-owned Sartenga copper-gold discovery - which is within the Boulsa Project in Burkina Faso.

Results are from diamond, reverse circulation and air-core drilling, with the latest highlights including:

- 13 metres at 1.1% Cueq within 20 metres at 0.8% Cueq;
- 10 metres at 1.3% Cueq and 69 metres at 0.6% Cueq, within 116 metres at 0.5% Cueq; and
- 10 metres at 0.7% Cueq and 27 metres at 0.6% Cueq, within 71 metres at 0.5% Cueq.

West African Resources currently has two diamond drill rigs turning on site, testing mineralisation between 200 metres and 400 metres depth across 500 metres to 800 metres width beneath strong oxide mineralisation over 1,200 metres of strike on 200 metre spaced sections.

The Boulsa Project covers 6,370 square kilometres and 200 kilometres of strike length of early Proterozoic Birimian greenstone belts which are prospective for gold mineralisation.

The project is located immediately along strike from Orezone Gold Corp’s (TSE: ORE) 5.2 million gold ounce Bomboré Deposit.
