West African Resources Limited reported high grade gold mineralisation in ongoing diamond drilling at the MV3 East prospect, located 6km from Sanbrado Gold Operations (Sanbrado), Burkina Faso. WAF is undertaking a diamond drilling program targeting high grade sulphide mineralisation at the MV3 East prospect, located 6km northwest of the Sanbrado mine site, Burkina Faso. A total of 140 holes for 13,392m have been drilled to date, with today's release reporting results for 6 diamond holes.

Recent diamond drilling has focused on extending the southern high-grade shoot down plunge at the MV3 East prospect with high grade mineralisation intercepted up to 200m below surface. This deeper drilling campaign was temporarily on hold due to limited access from wet weather and cropping. Significant results from this drilling program include: MAK22-RCDT009: 20.5m at 2.98 g/t Au from 192m, MAK22-RCDT004: 16m at 2.88 g/t Au from 254.5m, MAK22-RCDT006: 21m at 2.16 g/t Au from 254m and MAK22-RCDT007: 12m at 2.02 g/t Au from 260.5m.

Deeper drilling confirms the geological and mineralisation interpretation developed from earlier near-surface drilling. Flexures along the main shear corridor appear to control the high-grade shoots with grade and widths increasing at these zones. Structural measurements from the recent diamond drilling indicate that there is a steep northerly plunge to the high-grade mineralisation.

The strike of the southern high-grade shoot now extends over 200m and remains open to the south where MAK22 ­ RCDT009 intercepted 20m at 2.98 g/t Au. Work at MV3 East has now resumed with further drilling planned to test down plunge of the remaining high-grade shoots and surface mineralisation along strike of the MV3 East prospect. Additionally, several targets generated from an IP survey, historical RAB and WAF Auger drilling will be tested in the coming months.

These targets all lie within 700m of the MV3 East prospect.
