Starcore International issues update on Kimoukro Gold Project
Starcore International Mines Ltd. has issued an update on the initial work conducted at its Kimoukro Gold Project in Côte d’Ivoire.
The initial visit aimed to verify ground conditions, improve existing maps of mineworks, and refine the exploration program and strategy. Geological findings include; Confirmation of 11 main veins with thickness ranging from 0.5 to 2 meters.
Findings
New mineralization evidence were also found in the southeast part of the permit. Vein system recognized over a 1.5 km wide corridor, striking from outside the eastern border of the permit to the Bandama river. Mineralization mainly occurs in NW-trending sheeted quartz cutting across granodiorite, microdiorite, and volcanoclastic meta-sediments.
Under sample assays; fresh chip rock samples returned values ranging from 7 to 22 g/t Au. A quartz vein sample crossing granodiorite returned an average value of 155 g/t Au. Termite nest samples from the alluvial deposit area showed no significant values.
Fairly intense activity was observed in the middle-north area and a large settlement of artisanal miners located at the East border of the permit. The company is engaged in precious metals production primarily in Mexico, complemented by exploration and development projects in North America and internationally. The company emphasizes Corporate Social Responsibility and value-driven decisions for long-term shareholder value.
