- Commenced an infill auger drilling program at K4-K5 to tighten the historic auger sampling pattern
- Grid decreased to 200 x 50m in order to better constrain individual gold zones
Tajiri Resources Corp. (the “Company”) (TSXV: TAJ) is pleased to provide an update to the ongoing exploration work at the Company’s 100% owned Reo Gold Property, Burkina Faso, West Africa.
After completing initial drilling of the Morley prospect where numerous hits were reported including hole MRTC0022’s 11 metres of 8.6 g/t Au including 3 metres at 30.9 g/t Au from 20 metres; the Company began power auger drilling and trenching at the K4-K5 Prospect, where historic wide spaced drill lines returned significant mineralised intersections including: 18m @ 2.5g/t; 44m @ 1.5g/t, 12m @ 5.0g/t, 4m @ 16.2g/t; 36m @ 1.3g/t, 16m @ 2.7g/t, 20m @ 1.7g/t 18m @ 2.5g/t, 20m @ 1.7g/t, 18m @ 1.6g/t 12m @ 4.1g/t. RC: 13m @ 2.2g/t, 6m @ 2.7g/t, 16m @ 2.0g/t, 10m @ 3.5g/t; 3m @ 11.5g/t, 2m @ 16.8g/t, over an area of 3 x 4km from within a larger area of gold in saprolite anomalism of approximately 9 x 4 km (see Figure 1).
Due to the massive scale of the prospect and previous wide spaced sampling programmes Tajiri commenced an infill auger drilling program at K4-K5 to tighten the historic auger sampling pattern from a 400 x 100m grid to a 200 x 50m grid in order to better constrain individual gold zones within the broad gold in saprolite anomaly and to also investigate individual larger areas of artisanal workings on 100 x 25m to 25 x 25m grid spacings on an east west grid. Because artisanal workings have largely not been sampled or drilled to date and because they potentially overly areas of significant gold mineralisation it was considered important to sample these areas and determine orientation of mineralisation prior to commencing more expensive RC / diamond drilling programs.
