With 4 Million Ounces of Gold Under Control, Loncor Gold Launches Deep Drilling to Expand High-Grade Resources in the DRC

Posted by Paul Nanuwa at 11:38 AM on Friday, November 1st, 2024



November 1, 2024
— Loncor Gold Inc. (TSX: LN) (OTCQX: LONCF) (FSE: LO5), a Canadian gold exploration firm with deep roots in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), has announced the start of an ambitious 11,000-meter deep drilling program at its flagship Adumbi deposit. This initiative, combined with scout drilling on several other promising targets along a 14-kilometer structural trend, signals Loncor’s determination to strengthen its position in Africa’s gold sector and expand its gold resource base in the Ngayu Greenstone Belt.

With significant resource potential already established, this new drilling effort aims to unlock Adumbi’s deep-seated high-grade mineralization, positioning Loncor as a leading contender in high-grade African gold assets. For investors, this announcement highlights an important phase for Loncor’s growth strategy, underscoring the company’s commitment to becoming a key player in sustainable gold mining in Africa.

Background and Context: Loncor’s Path to Success in the DRC’s Greenstone Belt

Founded as a Canadian venture with expertise in gold mining, Loncor Gold has focused its activities on the Ngayu Greenstone Belt in northeastern DRC—a region rich in gold yet underexplored. Loncor has established itself through years of focused exploration, which has already identified significant gold resources at its Imbo Project, particularly in the Adumbi deposit.

Nestled just 130 miles from Africa’s largest gold mine, Kibali, Loncor Gold finds itself in great company. Ongoing drilling activities at the Adumbi Gold Project are particularly noteworthy, as they not only aim to expand resource estimates but also demonstrate a commitment to responsible and efficient mining practices.

Loncor’s extensive experience in the DRC, combined with its expanding resource base, has made it a recognized player in the region’s gold mining industry. The Adumbi deposit alone holds an indicated mineral resource of 1.88 million ounces of gold and an inferred resource of 2.1 million ounces. Now, the latest deep-drilling program aims to expand these numbers, exploring the untapped depths of the Adumbi deposit, where gold-bearing structures may offer even greater yield potential.

$1.3 BILLION IN AFTER TAX VALUE AT GOLD PRICE OF $2,000OZ

Boasting an after tax value of $1.3 billion at a conservative $2,000 per ounce, Adumbi promises an average annual production of 303,000 ounces of gold over a decade-long span, with its resource base still expanding. With a mining permit already secured, the path is paved for Adumbi’s development, poised to unlock significant value for Loncor Gold and its stakeholders.

$12 MILLION IN CASH & RECEIVABLES

The company has $12 million in cash and short-term receivables which is due to a recent sale of a non-core property and that cash will be put to work on the company’s Adumbi open pit gold deposit.

Key Highlights and Advantages of Loncor’s Drilling Initiative

Loncor’s newly announced drilling program is designed to leverage and expand Adumbi’s gold resource by tapping into the deposit’s deeper levels and associated structures. Some of the key aspects of this drilling initiative include:

  • 11,000 Meters of Deep Drilling: Targeting deeper mineralization beneath the established Adumbi open pit, where prior assessments revealed promising grades.
  • Open at Depth: The current resource remains open at depth, and this program aims to identify high-grade gold zones that could significantly add to Loncor’s total resource.
  • Strategic Structural Trend: Alongside the Adumbi deposit, Loncor is conducting scout drilling on four nearby exploration targets within the same 14-kilometer structural corridor, revealing promising intersections.

Preliminary results from the Museveni prospect within this trend show visible gold and high-grade intersections, an encouraging sign that underscores the potential of Loncor’s regional approach. By exploring the entire structural corridor, the company aims to maximize its impact, not only at Adumbi but across its neighboring prospects.

Potential Impact: Expanding Resources and Building Value

The new drilling program holds the potential to elevate Loncor’s status within the high-grade gold segment, attracting investor interest and potentially driving future revenue. If successful, the program could push the Adumbi deposit towards Tier 1 status—a classification reserved for the highest-quality, lowest-cost gold deposits. This would solidify Loncor’s foothold in the DRC’s gold mining sector, providing long-term value for shareholders and investors.

In addition, the preliminary assays from scout drilling are promising. Hole LIDD003 at the Museveni prospect has delivered grades of 69.7 g/t and 22.9 g/t gold in different sections, indicating the possibility of new high-grade deposits within reach of the main Adumbi site. These results will be closely monitored, with future assays providing further clarity on the region’s broader resource potential.

Expert Insights: The Significance of Loncor’s Move

“After some logistical challenges to get all the drilling equipment to site during the peak of the rainy season, drilling has now commenced on the deep drilling program at Adumbi that has the potential to push the high-grade deposit towards Tier 1 status,” stated John Barker, CEO of Loncor Gold. Barker’s optimism reflects Loncor’s confidence in the geological prospects at Adumbi and the surrounding areas. He adds, “Scout drilling has commenced on a number of targets along the 14 km structural trend to the southeast of Adumbi, and we are starting to get encouraging results.”

Loncor’s strategy is also notable for its logistical prowess, successfully navigating difficult terrain and seasonal challenges to bring specialized drilling equipment to the site, showcasing its commitment and operational expertise.

Challenges and Considerations: Navigating Depth and Logistical Constraints

While the potential of deeper mineralization at Adumbi and nearby prospects is promising, deep drilling programs come with inherent challenges. The logistical demands of transporting heavy drilling equipment through remote regions and the variable weather conditions in the DRC can impact timelines and budgets. However, Loncor has demonstrated resilience in overcoming these issues, showing its capacity to manage the unique demands of operating in the DRC.

Additionally, the natural challenges of drilling at greater depths may result in complex structural conditions that could impact the accuracy and effectiveness of assays. Loncor’s team has implemented rigorous quality assurance and quality control protocols, partnering with SGS Laboratory in Tanzania to ensure reliable and consistent results.

Conclusion: Loncor Gold on the Brink of a New Phase of Growth

Loncor’s ambitious deep drilling initiative at Adumbi and exploration along a prospective structural trend showcases a company poised for growth. By targeting high-grade deposits at depth and expanding exploration along the structural corridor, Loncor is strengthening its position in one of Africa’s most promising gold mining regions.

For investors, this development underscores Loncor’s commitment to resource expansion and potential revenue growth, positioning the company as a high-potential opportunity within the gold sector. With promising early-stage assay results and an experienced management team, Loncor is primed to make significant strides in gold exploration, signaling a bright outlook for the company and its stakeholders.

Loncor Gold Positioned for Growth as Gold Nears Record Highs Amid Global Instability

Posted by Paul Nanuwa at 11:48 AM on Monday, September 23rd, 2024

Introduction

Gold prices are nearing record highs, driven by a combination of global geopolitical tensions and the U.S. Federal Reserve’s recent interest rate cut. This positive market sentiment is fueling optimism in the gold industry, offering a fertile environment for companies like Loncor Gold to thrive. As one of the key players in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Loncor Gold’s strategic alignment with market trends, its robust project pipeline and initiatives, position the company for continued growth amid a bullish gold market.

Industry Outlook and Loncor Gold’s Trajectory

The macroeconomic environment is favoring gold, as recent rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve coupled with escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have pushed prices to historic highs. Gold, often seen as a hedge against uncertainty, is poised for its best year in over a decade, with spot prices now hovering around $2,630 per ounce. For Loncor Gold, this climate presents an opportune moment to accelerate its strategic initiatives in the DRC, where its exploration and development activities are set to benefit from the upward trend in gold prices.

Loncor Gold’s focus on expanding its resource base at the Adumbi Gold Project in the DRC aligns with these positive industry dynamics. With a rising demand for gold investments, Loncor is in a prime position to capitalize on these conditions, strengthening its role in the global gold market.



Voices of Authority

Bart Melek, head of commodity strategies at TD Securities, noted, “The market is still reacting to the Fed’s 50 basis point cut… the U.S. central bank has signaled that it is not particularly worried about inflation, which is very helpful for gold.” This sentiment echoes Loncor Gold’s strategic direction, where the company is preparing to leverage strong gold prices to fuel its exploration and production efforts in one of Africa’s most resource-rich regions.

Additionally, the geopolitical instability in the Middle East adds further momentum to gold’s rally. As Melek mentioned, “regional instability… could also further fuel gold’s rally.” This global context provides Loncor with a favorable backdrop for advancing its projects in the DRC, where stable operations and long-term resource development remain at the core of the company’s strategy.

Loncor Gold’s Highlights

Nestled just 130 miles from Africa’s largest gold mine, Kibali, Loncor Gold finds itself in great company. Ongoing drilling activities at the Adumbi Gold Project are particularly noteworthy, as they not only aim to expand resource estimates but also demonstrate a commitment to responsible and efficient mining practices.

THE ADUMBI GOLD DEPOSIT – THE 2ND LARGEST IN THE DRC

The flagship Adumbi gold deposit, a titan in its own right, is ranked as the second-largest gold deposit in the DRC. Adumbi shines with a substantial 1.88 million ounces of gold (Indicated), alongside an additional 2.1 million ounces of gold (Inferred), with Loncor commanding an impressive 85% stake.

Loncor Gold boasts control over an impressive 4 million ounces of high-grade gold resources
across multiple projects.



$1.3 BILLION IN AFTER TAX VALUE AT GOLD PRICE OF $2,000OZ

Boasting an after tax value of $1.3 billion at a conservative $2,000 per ounce, Adumbi promises an average annual production of 303,000 ounces of gold over a decade-long span, with its resource base still expanding. With a mining permit already secured, the path is paved for Adumbi’s development, poised to unlock significant value for Loncor Gold and its stakeholders.

$12 MILLION IN CASH & RECEIVABLES

The company has $12 million in cash and short-term receivables which is due to a recent sale of a non-core property and that cash will be put to work on the company’s Adumbi open pit gold deposit.

Real-world Relevance

Just as the U.S. Federal Reserve’s rate cuts have bolstered the appeal of gold as a safe-haven asset, Loncor Gold’s projects in the DRC represent the potential for high returns in a rising market. The company’s efforts to sustainably develop its assets while contributing to local economies create a long-term value proposition that extends beyond mere market cycles.

Loncor’s operations can be likened to a gold mine operating on the verge of a boom, where the groundwork has already been laid for significant growth. With gold prices at near-record levels, Loncor is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this momentum, turning exploration into tangible results.

Looking Ahead with Loncor Gold

As the gold market continues its upward trajectory, Loncor Gold’s forward-looking goals align perfectly with the positive industry forecast. The company is well-positioned to benefit from increasing demand for gold as a hedge against uncertainty, particularly as it continues to expand its resource base in the DRC. With plans to enhance its exploration and production capabilities, Loncor is poised for significant growth in the coming years.

This optimistic industry environment, combined with Loncor Gold’s strategic approach, presents a bright future for the company. Investors can look forward to Loncor’s continued contributions to the global gold market, reinforced by its commitment to sustainability and long-term value creation.



Conclusion

Loncor Gold’s ability to thrive amid favorable market conditions reflects its strong positioning within the gold industry. As the macroeconomic and geopolitical factors push gold prices higher, Loncor’s strategic investments in the DRC provide a clear path toward growth.

Loncor Gold: Harnessing Industry Momentum Amid Africa’s Green Mining Revolution

Posted by Paul Nanuwa at 1:30 PM on Monday, September 9th, 2024


Introduction

As Africa’s mining landscape evolves toward sustainability, Loncor Gold stands at the forefront of this transformation. The industry’s shift, highlighted by the recent advancements at Kibali, Africa’s largest gold mine, underscores the broader trend of integrating environmental stewardship with operational excellence. Loncor Gold’s ongoing initiatives align seamlessly with this industry-wide progress, positioning the company as a key player in the responsible development of Africa’s gold resources.

Mark Bristow, president and CEO of Barrick, described Kibali as “a real role model for mining in Africa,” emphasizing the mine’s leadership in both automation and renewable energy. This perspective aligns with Loncor Gold’s strategic direction, where the focus is on responsible resource development. As Bristow highlighted the benefits of partnerships with local governments and communities, Loncor’s own commitment to engaging with stakeholders and contributing to local economies in the DRC becomes even more relevant.

Loncor Gold’s Highlights

Nestled just 130 miles from Africa’s largest gold mine, Kibali, Loncor Gold finds itself in great company. Ongoing drilling activities at the Adumbi Gold Project are particularly noteworthy, as they not only aim to expand resource estimates but also demonstrate a commitment to responsible and efficient mining practices.

THE ADUMBI GOLD DEPOSIT – THE 2ND LARGEST IN THE DRC The flagship Adumbi gold deposit, a titan in its own right, is ranked as the second-largest gold deposit in the DRC. Adumbi shines with a substantial 1.88 million ounces of gold (Indicated), alongside an additional 2.1 million ounces of gold (Inferred), with Loncor commanding an impressive 85% stake.

Loncor Gold boasts control over an impressive 4 million ounces of high-grade gold resources
across multiple projects.

$1.3 BILLION IN AFTER TAX VALUE AT GOLD PRICE OF $2,000OZ Boasting an after tax value of $1.3 billion at a conservative $2,000 per ounce, Adumbi promises an average annual production of 303,000 ounces of gold over a decade-long span, with its resource base still expanding.

Real-world Relevance

Loncor Gold’s achievements translate into tangible impacts. The company’s exploration efforts in the DRC are akin to tapping into one of the last great frontiers for gold. Just as Kibali’s advancements have set a benchmark for what’s possible, Loncor’s projects offer a glimpse into the future of gold mining—where economic benefits are balanced with environmental sustainability. This approach not only enhances the company’s value proposition but also ensures that it remains relevant in an increasingly eco-conscious market.

Looking Ahead with Loncor Gold

As the mining industry continues to embrace sustainability and innovation, Loncor Gold’s forward-looking goals are well-aligned with the optimistic industry forecast.

With ongoing projects set to unlock further value and a clear vision for growth, Loncor Gold is poised to be a key contributor to the next chapter of Africa’s gold mining story.

Conclusion

Loncor Gold’s trajectory within the rapidly evolving mining sector highlights its potential as a significant player in Africa’s gold industry. The company’s alignment with industry trends—particularly the emphasis on sustainability and technological advancement—reinforces its appeal for growth and responsible stewardship. As Loncor Gold continues to build on its successes, the invitation is clear: now is the time to explore the opportunities that this forward-thinking company has to offer.

With 4M Ounces Of Gold and $13.5M In Cash, Loncor Gold Is Set To Grow The 2nd Largest Gold Deposit In The DRC

Posted by Paul Nanuwa at 11:14 AM on Wednesday, April 3rd, 2024

In the realm of gold exploration and mining, one company stands out for its remarkable achievements and promising future – Loncor Gold. In a recent interview with Loncor Gold’s CEO, John Barker, we gained exclusive insights into the company’s significant milestones, its strategic vision, and the compelling investment opportunity it presents in the dynamic gold market.

Loncor Controls 4M Ounces of Gold In Mining-Friendly DRC

In the heart of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Loncor Gold, a Canadian exploration company soaring past $2,277. Here’s why you should take notice:

SUBSTANTIAL GOLD RESERVES

Loncor Gold boasts control over an impressive 4 million ounces of high-grade gold resources across multiple projects. With a recent non-core property sale, Loncor is about to bolster its coffers by $13.5 million in cash, fortifying its financial position.

THE ADUMBI GOLD DEPOSIT – THE 2ND LARGEST IN THE DRC

The company gears up to channel this newfound liquidity into its flagship Adumbi gold deposit, a titan in its own right, ranking as the second-largest gold deposit in the DRC. Adumbi shines with a substantial 1.88 million ounces of gold (Indicated), alongside an additional 2.1 million ounces of gold (Inferred), with Loncor commanding an impressive 85% stake.

$1.3 BILLION IN AFTER TAX VALUE AT GOLD PRICE OF $2,000/OZ

Boasting an after tax value of $1.3 billion at a conservative $2,000per ounce, Adumbi promises an average annual production of 303,000 ounces of gold over a decade-long span, with its resource base still expanding. With a mining permit already secured, the path is paved for Adumbi’s development, poised to unlock significant value for Loncor Gold and its stakeholders.

STRATEGIC LOCATION AND MINING POTENTIAL

Nestled just 130 miles from Africa’s largest gold mine, Kibali, Loncor Gold finds itself in great company. The mine, recognized for its prolific potential, has witnessed continuous gold production exceeding 800,000 ounces annually for over a decade, with resources surpassing 15 million ounces and counting.

THE DRC: A HAVEN FOR MINERAL WEALTH

Beyond gold, the DRC stands as a global powerhouse in copper, cobalt, lithium, zinc, and tin production. The DRC is known for hosting major mining companies like Glencore, Ivanhoe, and AngloGold. Its mining-friendly policies and stable governance, highlighted by successful democratic elections in December 2023, make it an attractive opportunity in the mining industry.

  • Results include 32.15 metres grading 6.17 g/t gold (including 1.46 metres grading 94.77 g/t gold) and 15.36 metres grading 3.73 g/t gold (including 5.89 metres grading 6.56 g/t gold)

Loncor Resources Inc. (“Loncor” or the “Company”) (TSX: “LN”; OTCQX: “LONCF”; FSE: “LO51”) is pleased to announce further significant assay results from its drilling program within its 84.68%-owned Imbo Project in the eastern part of the Ngayu greenstone belt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The deepest borehole drilled to date at its flagship Adumbi deposit, LADD009 intersected 32.15 metres grading 6.17 grammes per tonne (g/t) gold (including 1.46 metres grading 94.77 g/t Au), 15.36 metres grading 3.73 g/t gold (including 5.89 metres grading 6.56 g/t Au), 5.00 metres grading 3.17 g/t gold and 7.45 metres grading 1.48 g/t gold.

Mineralized sections for borehole LADD009 are summarised in the table below:

Borehole NumberFrom (m)To (m)Intersected
Width (m)
Grade (g/t) Au
LADD009559.76564.765.003.17
LADD009581.90614.0532.156.17

LADD009
including
632.00637.895.896.56
LADD009650.50657.957.451.48

Borehole LADD009 had an inclination of minus 75 degrees and azimuth of 218 degrees at the start of hole and regular measurements of inclination and azimuth were taken at 30 metre intervals down the hole. All core was orientated, and it is estimated that the true widths of the mineralised sections are approximately 82% of the intersected width. All intercepted grades are uncut with maximum internal dilution equal to or less than 4 metres of intersected width. Borehole LADD009 intersected the mineralization at a depth of approximately 140 metres below the open pit shell (see Figures 2 and 3 below). Boreholes LADD012 and LADD013 are currently being drilled (LADD011 was abandoned before reaching target depth due to mechanical problems and LADD013 is being drilled in its place).

Commenting on these latest drilling results, Loncor President Peter Cowley said: “Borehole LADD009 is the deepest hole drilled to date at Adumbi as well as the highest value in terms of the product of grade multiplied by true width for the multiple intersections (see Figure 2). These excellent results combined with previous results from the ongoing drilling program indicate that gold grades are increasing with depth. We continue to be excited by the results at Adumbi. The holes from our current drilling program have intersected significant widths and grades and will increase the current open pittable, inferred mineral resource of 2.19 million ounces (28.97 million tonnes grading 2.35 g/t gold) at the Adumbi deposit. Studies are underway to quantify this increase.”

The gold mineralization at Adumbi is associated with a thick package (up to 130 metres) of interbedded banded ironstone and quartz carbonate and chlorite schist with higher grade sections being found in a strongly altered siliceous unit termed “Replaced Rock” (RP) where structural deformation and alteration has completely destroyed the primary host lithological fabric. Disseminated sulphide assemblages include pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite which can attain up to 20% of the total rock in places.

The objective of the current drilling program at Adumbi is to outline additional mineral resources to the current inferred mineral resource of 2.5 million ounces of gold on Loncor’s 84.68%-owned Imbo Project which contains the Adumbi, Kitenge and Manzako deposits (inferred mineral resources of 30.65 million tonnes grading 2.54 g/t Au).

LADD008323.80338.7814.983.62
LADD008
including
335.75338.783.0913.28


Borehole LADD008 intersected the mineralization at a vertical depth of 272 metres below surface and within the southeastern boundary of the US$1,500 open pit shell (see Figures 2 and 3 below), and had an inclination of minus 65 degrees and azimuth of 218 degrees at the start of hole and regular measurements of inclination and azimuth were taken at 30 metre intervals down the hole. All core was orientated, and it is estimated that the true widths of the mineralised sections are 62% of the intersected width. All intercepted grades are uncut.

Drilling is now focussed on the downdip/down plunge extensions below the open pit shell where the gold mineralization remains open. The deepest core hole of this drilling campaign, LADD009 has now been completed and assays are awaited. Boreholes LADD011 and LADD012 are currently being drilled (LADD010 was abandoned before reaching target depth due to mechanical problems and LADD012 is being drilled in its place).

Commenting on these latest drilling results, Loncor President Peter Cowley said: “We continue to be impressed with the drill results at Adumbi. All four completed infill holes within the open pit shell have intersected significant gold mineralization with an improvement in grade and thickness compared to the previous block model, and further studies will now be undertaken to quantify this increase in terms of mineral resources within the open pit shell.”

The objective of the current drilling program at Adumbi is to outline additional mineral resources to the current inferred mineral resource of 2.5 million ounces of gold on Loncor’s 84.68%-owned Imbo Project which contains the Adumbi, Kitenge and Manzako deposits (inferred mineral resources of 30.65 million tonnes grading 2.54 g/t Au).

  • Targets Identified at Imbo East
  • Early Stage Exploration Identified 4 Mineralized Trends
  • 9 kms down structure from Current Adumbi Resource

Loncor Resources Inc. (“Loncor” or the “Company“) (TSX: “LN”; OTCQX: “LONCF”; FSE: “LO51”) is pleased to announce that recent soil geochemical results have outlined four significant, undrilled mineralised trends at its 84.68%-owned Imbo Project. The focus of greenfields exploration by Loncor at Imbo East, along trend to the southeast from the 2.5 million ounce Adumbi, Kitenge and Manzako deposits (inferred mineral resources of 30.65 million tonnes grading 2.54 g/t Au) previously delineated in the northwest of the 122 square kilometre project area. Core drilling is currently being undertaken at Adumbi to increase this resource base.

Analytical results have now been received for all soil samples from the completed 5.4 kilometre by 2.3 kilometre grid, east of the Imbo River where soil samples were collected every 40 metres on lines 160 metres apart. Geological mapping, soil geochemical, rock chips and channel sampling of old colonial trenches and artisanal workings have outlined four significant mineralised trends – Esio Wapi, Museveni, Mungo Iko and Paradis – approximately 8 to 10 kilometres southeast of the Adumbi deposit (see Figures 1 and 2 below).  

At Esio Wapi, soil geochemical results have outlined a number of plus 130 ppb Au (parts per billion) gold in soil anomalies with a maximum value of 2,230 ppb Au over a 1.9 kilometre long mineralised trend (see Figure 2 below). As announced previously (see Loncor’s press release dated September 21, 2020), channel sample results from old colonial workings included 19.80 metres grading 1.58 g/t Au (open to the northeast), 8 metres grading 1.11 g/t Au and 5.0 metres grading 1.65 g/t Au in brecciated banded ironstone (BIF) and metasediment. Individual rock sample values included 15.10 g/t and 7.88 g/t Au in quartz veins, 6.39 g/t and 3.08 g/t Au in BIF and 9.06 g/t, 7.91 g/t and 3.24 g/t Au in metasediments.

On the Paradis trend, soil sample results have outlined a broad 1.0 kilometre trend (plus 130 ppb Au) with maximum value of 870 ppb Au. Significant channel samples along the Paradis trend include 6.8 metres grading 5.44 g/t Au (open to the southwest) in metasediments with quartz veins. Individual rock sample values included 22.40 g/t, 5.84 g/t and 2.31 g/t Au in quartz veins.

On the Museveni mineralized trend, anomalous soil samples and artisanal workings occur over a strike of 3.2 kilometres with a maximum value of 5,850 ppb Au in soils.  Channel samples from the artisanal workings include 6.0 metres grading 4.37 g/t Au and 1.40 metres grading 62.10 g/t Au and represent high grade quartz veins in metasediment. Individual rock sample values included 53.90 g/t, 32.80 g/t and 32.60 g/t Au in quartz veins and 18.10 g/t Au in metasediment.

On the Mungo Iko trend, soil samples have outlined a 3.1 kilometre long mineralized trend (plus 130ppb Au) with maximum value of 1,540 ppb Au. Individual rock sample values include 12.30 g/t and 3.50 g/t Au in brecciated BIF, 14.20 g/t, 4.81 g/t, and 3.68 g/t Au in metasediments, and 1.97 g/t Au in quartz veins. Further mapping is required to determine whether the eastern part of the Mungo Iko trend represents a faulted extension of the Esio Wapi trend.

  • Deepest borehole at Adumbi intersects 55.43 metres grading 2.76 g/t Au including 12.45 metres grading 8.11 g/t Au
  • Significant widths and grades will increase the current inferred mineral resource of 2.19 million ounces (28.97 million tonnes grading 2.35 g/t gold) at Adumbi

Loncor Resources Inc. (“Loncor” or the “Company“) (TSX: “LN”; OTCQX: “LONCF”; FSE: “LO51”) is pleased to announce further significant assay results from its drilling program within its 84.68% owned Imbo Project in the eastern part of the Ngayu greenstone belt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The deepest borehole drilled to date at its flagship Adumbi deposit, LADD007 intersected 55.43 metres grading 2.76 g/t gold (including 12.45 metres grading 8.11 g/t Au). Assay results were also received for core hole LADD006, which was a shallower hole drilled on the northeastern contact of the Adumbi deposit, with expected grades and widths.

Mineralized sections for boreholes LADD007 and LADD006 are summarised in the table below:

Borehole
Number
From (m)To (m)Intersected 
Width (m)
Grade (g/t) Au
LADD00799.95107.807.851.45
LADD007540.62596.0555.432.76

LADD006322.10337.3015.201.67
LADD006353.35357.854.503.25

Borehole LADD007 had an inclination of minus 68 degrees and azimuth of 218 degrees at the start of hole and regular measurements of inclination and azimuth were taken at 30 metre intervals down the hole. All core was orientated, and it is estimated that the true widths of the mineralised sections are approximately 89% of the intersected width. All intercepted grades are uncut. Borehole LADD007 intersected the mineralization at a depth of 100 metres below S52 and approximately 40 metres below the open pit (see Figures 2 and 3 below). Borehole LADD006 had an inclination of minus 58 degrees and azimuth of 218 degrees and it is estimated that the true widths of the mineralised sections of LADD006 are approximately 95% of the intersected width.

Commenting on these latest drilling results, Loncor President Peter Cowley said: “We continue to be encouraged by the results at Adumbi. Results from all five boreholes of our current drilling program have intersected significant widths and grades and will increase the current inferred mineral resource of 2.19 million ounces (28.97 million tonnes grading 2.35 g/t gold) at Adumbi. We are especially pleased with the continuity of gold mineralization at depth as highlighted in Figures 2 and 3.”
