Oklo Resources Ltd (ASX:OKU) has made a new gold discovery to the south of the Seko gold prospect within the Dandoko Project in Mali.

Results from the ongoing 2018 Phase 1 drilling program have revealed grades of up to 13.3 g/t gold from the Sory target, located some 2.5 kilometres south of Seko.

Initial results at Sory warrant further drilling

A total of 60 drill holes for 3,917 metres were completed at the Sory target to provide initial coverage across the previously outlined auger gold anomalies over a strike length of 1.8 kilometres.

Multiple zones of gold mineralisation were intersected including 14 metres at 1.31 g/t gold, 5 metres at 2.82 g/t gold, 5 metres at 2.27 g/t gold and 11 metres at 0.83 g/t gold.

Further infill and targeted drilling are planned to confidently define the configuration of the mineralised envelope.

Meanwhile, first pass drilling of the Dabia gold target located 2 kilometres north of Seko is now underway.

Ongoing drilling at Seko with further significant intersections received

Oklo is continuing to drill at Seko with further intersections received from 16 infill and step-out holes at Seko Anomaly 1 (SK1).

Significant new results include 33 metres at 4.97 g/t gold from 63 metres and 14 metres at 1.72 g/t gold from 94 metres.

The drilling program has been designed to test for both strike and depth extensions to the significant shallow oxide gold mineralisation previously encountered

Oklo will mobilise a third drill rig to accelerate diamond drilling targeting extensions to the known oxide gold mineralisation into fresh rock at anomalies SK2 and SK3.

Furthermore, a detailed 3D induced polarisation (IP) geophysical survey is advancing over SK3 to assist in the understanding of the structural controls to the gold mineralisation at Seko.
