安大略省多倫多-(Newsfile Corp.-2023年9月13日)-指南針黃金公司(多倫多證券交易所代碼:CVB)(指南針(該公司)提供了位於公司位於馬利南部的Sikasso地產的Tarabala探礦最近的溝渠取樣計劃的最新情況(圖1).

The objective of the trenching program was to test several sections of the 3.5-kilometre Tarabala trend to determine which sections contain the strongest gold mineralzation, including the best widths and grades, to support the commencement of a small mining operation. The trenching looked to find gold grades in the range of 0.8 g/t Au, which are believed to be sufficient to support a small near-surface mining operation. While the results along the Tarabala section of the trend achieved these objectives, the trenching at Massala along the northern end of the trend, returned widths and grades that far exceeded these objectives. Additional trenching is being planned after the rainy season ends in October on two of the most favourable zones at Massala.

挖溝計劃的目標是測試3.5公里塔拉巴拉走向的幾個區段,以確定哪些區段含有最強烈的金礦化,包括最佳寬度和品位,以支持小型採礦作業的開始。挖溝尋找的金品位在0.8克/噸金的範圍內,據信足以支持小型近地表採礦作業。雖然沿趨勢塔拉巴拉部分的結果實現了這些目標,但沿趨勢北端的馬薩拉海溝返回的寬度和等級遠遠超過了這些目標。計劃在10月份雨季結束後,在馬薩拉最有利的兩個地區進行額外的挖溝工程。

Compass CEO, Larry Phillips, said, "The results from the recent trenching at Massala are extremely encouraging. The higher-grade intersections indicate that the first small mining operation could be located at this northern end of the Tarabala trend. With some additional trenching on either side of the Massala trench (MATR001), we should be able to quantify the tonnage of mineralization before proceeding with the metallurgical studies to determine recoveries and optimal processing methods."

Compass首席執行官拉裡·菲利普斯,說,馬薩拉最近挖溝的結果非常令人鼓舞。較高品位的交叉口表明,第一個小型採礦作業可能位於塔拉巴拉趨勢的這一北端。在馬薩拉海溝(MATR001)兩邊再挖一些溝,我們應該能夠量化礦化噸位,然後再進行冶金研究,以確定回收率和最佳加工方法。

Dr. Madani Diallo, Director and Country Manager, added, "These findings affirm our belief that several small-scale near-surface gold mines could be developed at Tarabala and Massala. It is important to note that the mineralization present in the trenches corresponds with mineralization identified by drilling at depths of over 100 metres. This suggests that, after near surface mining down to depths of 20 to 30 metres, there remains the potential to conduct larger scale open pit mining down to 100 metres or more."

董事和國家經理Madani Diallo博士“這些發現證實了我們的信念,即塔拉巴拉和馬薩拉可以開發幾個小型近地表金礦。值得注意的是,戰壕中存在的礦化與在100米深的鑽探發現的礦化相對應。這表明,在近地面開採到20至30米深後,仍有潛力進行更大規模的露天開採,深至100米或更深。”

Next Steps

接下來的步驟

The Company is developing a plan and budget to excavate more trenches closer to trench MATR001, which, of the two trenches at Massala, returned the best grade. Once a budget has been completed, Management will determine what funding will be required in addition to existing cash, in order to complete the program. Depending on funding, this work would be initiated in November when the rains abate. The assay results from that program, combined with the planned metallurgical study, would be used to perform a resource estimate on the near-surface mineralization and provide relevant and more detailed information concerning the potential for a near-surface small mining operation at Tarabala.

該公司正在制定一項計劃和預算,在距離MATR001戰壕更近的地方挖掘更多戰壕,在馬薩拉的兩個戰壕中,MATR001戰壕的等級最高。一旦預算完成,管理層將決定除了現有現金外,還需要哪些資金來完成該計劃。根據資金情況,這項工作將在11月份降雨減弱時啟動。該方案的化驗結果與計劃的冶金研究相結合,將用於對近地表礦化進行資源評估,並提供有關塔拉巴拉近地表小型採礦作業潛力的相關和更詳細的資訊。

Recent Tarabala and Massala Trench Sampling Results

塔拉巴拉和馬薩拉海溝最近的採樣結果

Three trenches (TATR001 to 003) were excavated at the Tarabala prospect to test the surface expression of a mineralized structure encountered during previous drilling (see Compass Press release April 18, 2023). That drilling intersected gold mineralization over a distance of 1,800 m, with widths up to 25 m, and slighly narrower zones with higher grades, e.g., 16 m @ 1.51 g/t Au (SAAC02) and 19 m @ 1.68 g/t Au (SARC022).

在Tarabala勘探區挖掘了三條戰壕(TATR001至003),以測試在之前的鑽探中遇到的礦化結構的表面表現(參見Compass新聞稿,2023年4月18日)。該鑽探與金礦化相交的距離為1800米,寬度可達25米,品位較高的略微狹窄的帶,例如,16米@1.51克/噸Au(SAAC02)及19米@1.68克/噸Au(SARC022)。

Trench TATR001 was excavated on a plateau 70 m south of the most extensive artisinal gold workings on property. The plateau is the result of a hard iron-cemented crust (termed cuirass or hard cap), that makes artisanal mining very difficult. Trenches TATR002 and TATR003 were located to the south of the eroded plateau and excavated in much softer laterite.

溝槽TATR001是在最廣泛的人工黃金開採地以南70米的高原上挖掘出來的。高原是堅硬的鐵膠結殼(稱為鐵皮或硬帽)的結果,這使得手工採礦變得非常困難。TATR002和TATR003戰壕位於被侵蝕的高原以南,並在軟得多的紅土中挖掘。

Mapping of the walls of TATR001 indicated the presence of numerous, highly broken-up narrow (1-5 cm) oxidized quartz veins. Sampling at depths of 1 and 4 m produced several discrete 1 m intervals, containing a maximum of 0.54 g/t Au. Bedrock RC drilling beneath the trench defined a mineralized zone that contained 25 m @ 0.58 g/t Au (from 67 m, SARC003), which included 3 m @ 1.14 g/t Au, from 75 m.

地圖上的城牆TATR001表明存在大量高度破碎的狹窄(1-5釐米)氧化石英脈。在1米和4米深處採樣產生了幾個連續的1米間隔,最大含金量為0.54g/t。溝下的基岩RC鑽探確定了一個礦化帶,含金量為25m@0.58g/t(從67m開始,SARC003),其中包括3m@1.14g/t Au,從75m開始。

Trenches TATR002 and TATR003 are located 350 m and 400 m, respectively, to the south of TARR001. Due to the abundance of artisanal workings in the area, TATR003 was offset 50 m to the south. The trenches were selected to test the surface expression of a mineralized zone identified by drilling, including 5 m @ 1.23 g/t Au (SAAC082). The results from TATR002 indicate that mineralization was encountered at each depth tested (Table 1), and correlated between the depths. Discrete mineralized zones varied from 3 m @ 1.77 g/t Au (5 m depth) to 12 m @ 0.86 g/t Au (2 m depth). TATR003 tested mineralization in the hanging wall (to the east) and located three zones 2-3 m wide, with the best grade being 2 m @ 1.54 g/t Au (5 m depth).

戰壕TATR002TATR003分別位於南面350米和400米處TARR001。由於該地區有大量的手工作業,TATR003向南偏移了50米。選擇這些戰壕是為了測試通過鑽探確定的礦化帶的表面表達,包括5米@1.23克/噸Au(SAAC082)。結果來自於TATR002表明在測試的每個深度都遇到了礦化(表1),並在不同深度之間進行了關聯。不連續的礦化帶從3米@1.77克/噸Au(5米深)至12米@0.86g/t Au(2米深)。TATR003在上盤(以東)進行了礦化測試,發現三個礦化帶寬2-3m,最佳品位為2m@1.54g/t Au(深度為5m)。

Trench MATR001 at Massala (Figure 1) was selected to test the surface expression of a mineralized zone identified by drilling, including 24 m @ 2.35 g/t Au (SAAC123). The trench was excavated in heavily laterized rock, with only a surfical cuirass developed. Channel samples at depths of 1, 2 and 5 m were analysed and the results presented in Table 1. The 1 m depth sample identified gold mineralization over 24 m @ 1.24 g/t Au, the 2 m depth sample 18 m @ 1.44 g/t Au, and the 5 m depth sample 20 m @ 4.13 g/t Au (including 1 m @ 71.6 g/t Au), Figure 2. The sampling is in excellent agreement with the previous drilling.

溝槽材料001At Massala(圖1)被選擇來測試通過鑽探確定的礦化帶的表面表達,包括24米@2.35克/噸Au(SAAC123)。這條戰壕是在紅化程度很高的岩石中挖掘出來的,只發育了一種表面粗糙的角礫石。分析了1米、2米和5米深的河道樣品,結果如表1所示。1米深的樣品識別出24米@1.24克/噸Au,2米深度的樣品18米@1.44克/噸Au,和5米深的樣品20米@4.13克/噸金(包括1m@71.6g/t Au),圖2。取樣與以前的鑽探非常吻合。

MATR002 was excavated 350 m to the south of MATR001, and was designed to test a narrow mineralized zone intercepted in SAAC235 containing 3 m @ 1.11 g/t Au. Sampling at a depth of 1 and 4 m over the 29 m length of this trench did not dectect gold grades greater than 0.13 g/t Au. It is likely that the trench did not continue far enough eastward to intercept the mineralization.

材料002在MATR001以南350米處被挖掘,旨在測試SAAC235截獲的一個狹窄礦化帶,其含金量為3米@1.11克/噸。在這條29米長的海溝中,在1米和4米的深度取樣,沒有檢測到超過0.13克/噸金的金品位。很可能海溝沒有繼續向東延伸到足夠遠的地方,無法攔截礦化。

Technical Details

技術細節

Both trenches at each of Tarabala and Massala were excavated to a depth of 5 m. Trench lengths varied from 28 to 50 m at Tarabala, and 29 to 70 m at Massala to account for the width of the mineralization projected to surface from the previous drilling programs at both prospects. The total length of the trenches was 211 m. Continuous horizontal channel samples were collected every metre for the length of the trench. One-metre vertical channel samples were collected from 0 to 5 m depth, at a maximum of 5 m along the trench. Sometimes the interval was reduced in areas of obvious mineralization characterized by veining and discolouration. Some of the samples were merged to produce 2 m wide composites in areas of enhanced quartz veining in trenches MATR001 and TATR002.

Tarabala和Massala的兩條戰壕都被挖掘到5米深。Tarabala的戰壕長度從28米到50米不等,Massala的戰壕長度從29米到70米不等,以說明兩個探區以前的鑽探計劃預計到地表的礦化寬度。溝槽總長度為211米,每隔一米就採集一次連續的水準航道樣品。從0到5m深度採集了1米垂直水道樣品,沿海溝最多采集了5m。有時,在礦化明顯的地區,以脈狀和變色為特徵的間隔會縮短。一些樣品被合併,在MATR001和TATR002戰壕中增強的石英脈區域產生2米寬的複合材料。

The excavation was performed by a local contractor under the supervision of Compass geologists. All samples were prepared by Compass staff, and an appropriate number of standards, duplicates and blanks were submitted and analyzed for gold using cyanide-leach (LeachWELL) analysis at SGS (Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso).

挖掘是由當地承包商在指南針地質學家的監督下進行的。所有樣品都是由Compass工作人員準備的,並提交了適當數量的標準、複製品和空白,並在SGS(布基納法索瓦加杜古)使用氰化物浸出(LeachWELL)分析對金進行了分析。
