Chesser Resources Limited announced that drilling has commenced at its Flagship Diamba Sud Project, located in Senegal. Diamba Sud is located just 7km to the west of Barrick's Gounkoto mine, part of the world-class Gounkoto-Loulo complex (18Moz, including past production) in Mali, with limited exploration undertaken across the Senegal Birimian greenstone belt. Phase 1 of the program at Diamba Sud will consist of approximately 5,000m of RC drilling, targeting a nominal average depth of 87m. The initial drilling is focussed on locating the source of the high grade saprolite-hosted gold anomalies in the northern part of a broad ring structure (Figure 1), and understanding the style, nature and potential host of the mineralisation. The northern block of Diamba Sud (DS1) hosts a broad 4.5km by 4km ring-like geochemical anomaly comprised of a number of apparently distinct trends and responses1. The Company interprets these to represent controls on mineralisation from a combination of structural control and the contact of a buried granitoid, which are typical features of mineralised systems. Following interpretation of results from the Phase 1 program, a second follow-up phase of approximately 5,000m is planned prior to the start of the wet season. Numerous targets have been identified from the geochemistry, with Phase 1 focussed on the two most significant anomalies: The NE trending 2.5km by 500m anomaly marking the northern arc of the ring-like anomaly, possibly related to the contact of an inferred granitoid intrusive and country rocks (the Northern Arc target). Holes will be drilled on a NW-SE azimuth, close to perpendicular to the inferred trend, but accounting for the possibility of northerly trending structures. The NS trending 2.5km by 250m linear feature marking the eastern edge of the ring-like anomaly(the Eastern Flank target), which appears to intersect the Northern Arc anomaly. Holes will be drilled on an east-west azimuth. Phase 2 of the drilling will focus on testing the extent of potential bedrock gold mineralisation encountered in the Phase 1 program and further testing of other gold auger anomalies identified at Diamba Sud.
