Awalé Resources unveils another high-grade gold discovery in Côte d'Ivoire

Awalé Resources Ltd

Awale Resources Ltd (TSX-V:ARIC) CEO Andrew Chubb joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with an update on the drilling programme at the Odienné project in Côte d'Ivoire, highlighting a particularly remarkable drill hole at the Charger target as "nothing short of spectacular." Chubb said the drill hole yielded 32 metres at 45.7 grammes per tonne of gold within a 57-metre interval averaging 26 grammes per tonne. Chubb described this find as the best drill hole of his career, noting its consistency of high-grade mineralisation without reliance on large gold nuggets, which underscores the significance of the find. Chubb also indicated that Awalé Resources has only begun to explore the project's potential and announced plans for follow-up drilling. The imminent drilling programme will target both the BBM and Charger sites, with rigs expected to commence within two weeks. The BBM target, announced last week as a new discovery, and the Charger target, known for its visible gold breccia pipe system, are areas of focus due to their previously identified high-grade intercepts. Chubb expressed enthusiasm for the future, citing the Odienné project's drilling results as among the highest-grade gold sections in Africa in decades. With 25,000 metres of drilling planned for the year, he anticipates further significant discoveries and commits to keeping stakeholders informed on the project's progress.

Digbee Limited

Digbee founder and CEO Jamie Strauss and Black Rock Mining MD John de Vries discuss the significance of the second Digbee assessment for Black Rock Mining, highlighting its utility in identifying areas of strength and opportunity from the first report, and its role as a communication tool for engaging with stakeholders such as debt financiers, internal investors, and regulators. De Vries told Proactive the assessment's independent view is increasingly valued by these groups for providing context about Black Rock's position relative to other projects. Looking ahead, he said Black Rock aims to measure and understand the impact of its development activities, especially with a final investment decision approaching. This involves assessing the socioeconomic effects of investing significant amounts in remote African locations to ensure positive outcomes and avoid potential pitfalls like wealth traps. Strauss elaborated on the evolving landscape of sustainability in mining, emphasizing the importance of transparency and continuous improvement for companies like Black Rock Mining. The influx of new funding sources, including government and private equity, along with heightened demands from consumers for traceability and risk mitigation, creates a dynamic environment.

Lunnon Metals Ltd managing director and CEO Edmund Ainscough joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with more on the company's exploration success at one of Australia's oldest nickel mining towns. Ainscough said the ASX-listed company is positioned on 50 square kilometres of land within the Kambalda nickel belt of Western Australia, a region with a history of 1.6 million tonnes of nickel mined since its discovery in 1966. In just over two years, Lunnon Metals has conducted 85 kilometres of drilling, leading to a discovery named Baker, and reported a mineral resource of over 109,000 nickel tonnes at 2.7% grade. Additionally, Lunnon Metals is exploring gold prospects within the same region, leveraging the 25 square kilometres of land it holds in a renowned gold belt. The company has shifted focus temporarily from nickel to explore gold targets, with positive initial drilling results. A preliminary feasibility study (PFS) for the nickel deposit is underway, with completion aimed for the second quarter of 2024 - though dependent on external factors including decisions by BHP regarding its nickel operations in Western Australia. The company also acquired nickel rights to the Silver Lake Fisher project from Goldfields, presenting additional exploration opportunities. Despite subdued nickel market sentiments, Ainscough remains optimistic about the economic viability of Lunnon Metals' high-grade nickel deposits. Upcoming milestones include on the gold exploration results and the comprehensive PFS for the nickel projects, alongside developments influenced by external factors in the nickel industry.
