Cardinal Resources Limited announced that first drilling results following the recent wet season have commenced, intersecting further highgrade and shallow gold mineralisation at the new Ndongo East discovery. Importantly, the Ndongo Prospecting License is located only 24km north of the Company's Namdini Gold Project for which Cardinal declared a Maiden Probable Ore Reserve of 4.76Moz on the 18 September 2018. On 16 July and 29 August 2018, Cardinal reported several intersections of high-grade gold at its new Ndongo East discovery within the Ndongo Prospecting License and has now intersected further highgrade gold in recently completed diamond drilling which has recently recommenced following the wet season. It is planned to steadily ramp up exploration as ground conditions improve and drilling results are interpreted. Ndongo Prospecting License: The Ndongo Prospecting License covers an area of 295 km2 and is considered highly prospective for the discovery of economic gold mineralisation associated with the prolific Nangodi Shear Zone, a splay fault off the main regionalscale BoleBolgatanga Shear. Elsewhere, the Nangodi Shear Zone is spatially related to no fewer than four gold discoveries, including the Company's Namdini Gold Project with a 4.76Moz Probable Reserve, the Shaanxi Gold Mine, the historic Nangodi Gold Mine and the 2.1 Moz Youga Gold Mine in Burkina Faso, adjacent to the Ghanaian border. In addition, there are numerous historic shallow artisanal workings along many parts of this shear zone ~15 to 25 km north of the Namdini Gold Project. Ndongo East Prospect: The Ndongo East Prospect is located within NESW trending Birimian metavolcanics and metasediments. Gold mineralisation is developed mostly along dioritegranodiorite contact zones where competency contrasts create brittle fracturing allowing the ingress and precipitation of gold mineralising fluids. The mineralised horizons contain variable chloritesilicacarbonatesericite alteration with sulphides (mainly pyrite with very minor arsenopyrite). Previously announced drilling intersected highergrade mineralised structures concentrated in the northern portion of the shear zone, over a 450m strike length with coincident goldinsoil and geophysical targets. Subsequent RC drilling along fence lines further to the southwest along strike and at depth to test for mineralisation has proven encouraging with further highgrade intercepts within the mineralised structures. This indicates that the mineralised system is open along a NESW strike and at depth with multiple mineralised intersections. The furthest drill fence to the southwest intersected 2m at 27.0 g/t Au from 10m downhole in NDRC247 which suggests a strike potential up to 1.2km of mineralised structures. Additional diamond drilling is continuing at Ndongo East to test the strike and depth extents of the mineralised system and to evaluate the structural components of the various lithological units.
