Blox Inc. announced the results of a field reconnaissance program over its central and southern Mansounia Project areas which has resulted in confirmation of the existence of local anomalism for gold and minor occurrences of free gold (in-excess of 20ppb- geological background values). Geological reconnaissance over central and southern Mansounia concession target areas was completed during first quarter of 2017. Geological mapping of regolith identified extensive lateritic cover with minor outcrop containing insitu veining. 19 rock chip /grab samples collected around minor local excavations in lateritic cover. Of the 19 samples 9 samples exceeded geological background values for the area of >=20ppb, representing 47% of the samples taken. The program by Blox realised outcomes including sample number MR001 returning 1868ppb Au, sample number MR002 returning 483ppb Au and sample number MR010 returning 371ppb Au. Based on the highly encouraging results obtained from historical soils geochemical programs and in-line with recent desk top and field studies undertaken by Spiers Geological Consultants (SGC 2016), a number of key target areas were identified for follow-up field activities which included, regolith mapping and geological traverses. This first phase of exploration has exhibited local anomalism with free gold found in areas 6 and 8 and as such is planned to be followed up in the second quarter of 2017 with further in-fill gridded soil sampling, trenching, and eventually RC/DD drilling based on exploration successes from the first phase of follow-up infill soils and trenching. Blox's understanding of the deposit and surrounding areas continues to grow with each field season, and to date robust geological and structural context for the area/s have been developed using modelling software. The model is based on, and continually refined using, the pre-existing regional geochemical soil and rock chip sampling and drill-hole data from the Mansounia concessions area.
