Exore provide an update of its exploration activities in northern Cote d'Ivoire and report the results of five diamond core holes drilled at Antoinette within its Bagoe Project. The company is also pleased to report encouraging preliminary metallurgical test work results at the Antoinette West and Liberty 2 prospects. The company's Bagoe and Liberty Projects are located in a major gold producing region with several nearby large operating gold mines including Barrick's 4.2Moz Tongon and 6.5Moz Morila mines, Resolute's 11.5Moz Syama mine, Teranga's 2.7Moz Wahgnion mine and Perseus' 1.0Moz Sissingue mine. The latest results are from 1,030 metres (5 holes) of diamond core drilling, across the Antoinette Central, West and South zones, designed to test the plunge component of the higher-grade mineralisation (at depth) and provide core samples for metallurgical test work and resource estimation. Three diamond holes were drilled at Antoinette Central to validate previous RC drilling and to test for depth extensions. A single diamond hole was drilled at Antoinette West, following up encouraging RC drilling results and to provide samples for preliminary metallurgical test work. A further diamond hole was drilled at Antoinette South to provide oriented core for structural studies and optimise further drilling on the various extensions of mineralization to the expanding Antionette prospect. Hole BDDD0005, drilled at Antoinette West, intercepted a wide zone of mineralisation, confirming previous RC drilling. There has been limited drilling at Antoinette West and the broad zone of mineralisation remains OPEN in all directions. Further drilling will be undertaken at Antoinette West. Refer below for results of preliminary metallurgical test work at Antoinette West. Results from hole BDDD0005 included: 7m @ 1.80g/t gold from 33m; and 22m @ 1.39g/t gold from 94m. Gold mineralisation at Antoinette West is associated with pyrrhotite in discrete shears developed within an intrusive unit. Results from the three diamond holes drilled at Antoinette Central included (refer Figure Four and Appendix One): 17m @ 3.84g/t gold from 22m (BDDD0001); 2m @ 18.99g/t gold from 146m(BDDD0002) and 6m @ 10.52g/t gold from 116m (BDDD0003). Hole BDDD0003, which returned 6m @ 10.52g/t gold, confirmed high grade gold mineralisation at Antoinette Central extends at depth and remains OPEN. Gold mineralisation at Antoinette Central is generally associated with quartz veining, shearing and carbonate-sericite-silica alteration within a fine-grained sedimentary (sandstone) unit proximal to a felsic contact. Results from preliminary metallurgical test work on the Antoinette West and Liberty 2 prospects are highly encouraging and indicate mineralisation at both prospects is amendable to conventional cyanide leach extraction. Gold extraction rates of 90.7% to 97.6% were returned from Antoinette West and 89.4% to 92.7% from Liberty 2. This follows on the from preliminary metallurgical results on primary mineralisation at Veronique which returned ~90% gold extraction. Previously announced metallurgical test work results on Antoinette Central showed above 95% average gold extraction on oxide and transitional mineralisation and ~90% recovery of primary gold mineralisation to a low mass sulphide flotation concentrate. Preliminary test work was carried out on five composite samples of primary mineralisation from a 20m intercept in diamond hole BDDDD0005 drilled at Antoinette West. Samples were submitted to Bureau Veritas Minerals in Abidjan for 24-hour, 1.0kg direct cyanidation `bottle rolls' with residues analysed by 50g fire assay.
