Shallow Reconnaissance Drilling Opens Up New Development for Exploration at MM & MC Prospects
PERTH, AUSTRALIA and VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 7, 2022 / Sarama Assets Ltd. ( “Sarama” or the “Firm” ) (ASX:SRR)(TSX-V:SWA) is happy to announce that exploration drilling has returned additional vital intersections in near-surface oxide materials outdoors the present Mineral Useful resource. These intersections, together with 34m @ 1.65g/t Au , are in a sparsely drilled space on the MM & MC Prospects and open-up a brand new development for future exploration. The reported drilling totals 700m, a part of an ongoing +50,000m program on the Firm’s 100%-owned (4) , multi-million ounce Sanutura Mission (the “Mission” ), primarily designed to extend the oxide part of the Mission’s already giant 0.6Moz Au (Indicated) plus 2.3Moz Au (Inferred) (1) Mineral Useful resource.
Highlights
New exploration development, extending for 1.7km , recognized at MM & MC Prospects inside the Sanutura ProjectHighlighted downhole intersections in oxide materials from new assays embrace:34m @ 1.65g/t Au from 18m in TAA315;12m @ 1.36g/t Au from 18m in TAA417;4m @ 3.23g/t Au from 47m in TAA192 (together with 1m @ 10.25g/t Au);12m @ 1.04g/t Au from 12m in TAA381 (together with 4m @ 2.16g/t Au);5m @ 2.40g/t Au from 62m in TAA380; and5m @ 1.16g/t Au from 31m in TAA415Potential for discovery of great mineralised lodes indirect to the strike of the present Mineral Useful resource, that are integral to the gold endowment of the MM and MC ProspectsIntersections are in shallow, oxide materials with excessive potential so as to add to the oxide and transition part of the Mineral Useful resource, presently standing at 0.2Moz Au (Indicated) plus 0.8Moz Au (Inferred) (2)Outcomes proceed to focus on the potential for brand new discoveries and useful resource extension in underexplored areasAdditional assays pending from Q2 2022 drill program – to be launched as they arrive handy and follow-up drilling, together with greenfields exploration drilling, anticipated to begin in This fall 2022
Sarama’s President, CEO & MD, Andrew Dinning commented:
“We’re more than happy with these outcomes and as soon as once more, the present drill program is delivering new, shallow high-value materials, constructing on the brand new discovery on the Obi Prospect and new high-grade mineralisation inside the MM Prospect. We’re significantly excited by the 34m @ 1.65g/t Au intersection which is important not solely as a result of it’s in oxide materials but additionally as it’s outdoors the present Mineral Useful resource. The outcomes present potential for an additional new exploration development that includes indirect and/or blind mineralisation that has the potential so as to add vital quantities of high-value materials to the present Mineral Useful resource.”

A Progress-Oriented Drill Program in Oxide Materials
Reconnaissance Drilling Opens Up New Development for Exploration
Outcomes are being reported (refer Appendix A) for about 700m of aircore ( “AC” ) drilling (12 holes) undertaken in June/July 2022 within the southern a part of the MM & MC Prospects (refer Figures 1 & 2). The drilling focused the near-surface oxide horizon to a depth of roughly 50m and highlighted downhole intersections embrace:
34m @ 1.65g/t Au from 18m in TAA315;12m @ 1.36g/t Au from 18m in TAA417;4m @ 3.23g/t Au from 47m in TAA192 (together with 1m @ 10.25g/t Au);12m @ 1.04g/t Au from 12m in TAA381 (together with 4m @ 2.16g/t Au);18m @ 0.98g/t Au from 9m in TAA416;5m @ 2.40g/t Au from 62m in TAA380; and5m @ 1.16g/t Au from 31m in TAA415.
The latest reconnaissance drilling was focused utilizing soil geochemistry and geophysical surveys performed by Sarama and adopted up historic reconnaissance drilling within the space which embrace highlighted intersections of:
6m @ 3.31g/t Au from 42m in AC914;6m @ 2.18g/t Au from 22m in AC915; and4m @ 2.88g/t Au from 18m in AC906.
The drilling is a part of the continuing +50,000m drill program on the Mission which is designed to considerably improve the oxide and transition part of the Mineral Useful resource which presently stands at 0.2Moz Au (Indicated) plus 0.8Moz Au (Inferred) (2) . A number of of the brand new vital drill intersections happen inside the Tankoro Deposit hall in an space that’s sparsely drilled and out of doors the present Mineral Useful resource, highlighting the potential for brand new discoveries in between present wide-spaced drilling in underexplored areas.
Mineralisation on the Tankoro Deposit usually presents as a collection of steeply dipping, sub-parallel lode packages assembled in two distinct tracts which display kilometre-scale continuity alongside their north-north-east strike. Successive exploration campaigns by Sarama have developed the geologic mannequin to incorporate secondary cross-linking mineralised lodes oriented at indirect angles to the lodes inside the primary mineralised tracts.
This structure has been noticed on the well-drilled areas of the MM and MC Prospects, which collectively host 66% of the Mission’s Mineral Useful resource. The mineralisation in these areas is interpreted to be the results of multi-phase deformation and fluid emplacement occasions and supply the financial focal factors of the Tankoro Deposit given the related elevated lode volumes and better grades. This prevalence is most notably proximal to the confluence of the cross-linking and important lodes which have produced very sturdy, historic intersections together with:
32m @ 4.82g/t Au from 14m in AC988 (MC Prospect);45m @ 3.88g/t au from 6m in AC1891 (MC Prospect);26m @ 6.90g/t Au from 22m in FRC845 (MC Prospect);36m @ 6.48g/t Au from 14m in DDH059 (MC Prospect);17.9m @ 7.23g/t Au from 101.3m in DDH010A (MM Prospect);13.8m @ 5.90g/t Au from 101.3m in DDH004 (MM Prospect);19m @ 4.64g/t Au from 65m in FRC154 (MM Prospect); and11.8m @ 8.06g/t Au from 35.3m in DDH041 (MM Prospect).
Whereas the understanding of the drill space reported on this information launch is presently restricted, additional drilling is deliberate to delineate the extent and geometry of mineralisation. The outcomes of the brand new drilling counsel the potential for cross-linking mineralisation to be current within the space, harking back to the lode geometry seen within the extra densely drilled areas of the deposit instantly to the north.
This bodes properly for future exploration with potential additions from two areas:
the rapid space alongside the 1.1km-long strike of the inferred indirect lode that’s proximal to the very encouraging latest intersection of 34m @ 1.65g/t Au; andadditional repetitions of cross-linking lodes inside a north-north-east trending zone of elevated gold-in-soil values which covers a footprint of 1.7km x 650m and is essentially untested by drilling (refer Figures 2 & 3).
Drilling is presently paused till the tip of the moist season in This fall 2022. The Firm is presently deciphering outcomes and incorporating these in its planning for additional drilling of its highest precedence targets across the Mineral Useful resource, together with at these encouraging new places, early within the subsequent subject season. Various regional exploration targets may even be examined within the upcoming packages.

An Already Giant Mineral Useful resource with Potential to Develop
The Firm’s main focus is its 100%-owned (4) Sanutura Mission, which hosts a big Mineral Useful resource of 0.6Moz Au (Indicated) plus 2.3Moz Au (Inferred) (1) and covers an space of 1,420km 2 . The Mission occupies a commanding place alongside 70km of strike within the prolific Houndé Belt (refer Determine 4); Burkina Faso’s pre-eminent gold belt.
The Mission lies 60km south of Endeavour Mining’s Houndé Mine (5Moz Au); 120km south of Fortuna Silver’s high-grade Yaramoko Mine (1Moz Au), and 140km south of Endeavour Mining’s Mana Mine (5Moz Au), highlighting the numerous gold endowment of the Houndé Belt (refer Appendix B). Endeavour Mining’s Bantou Mission (1.5Moz Au Inferred Mineral Useful resource (5) ) is situated solely 6km from the majority of the Sanutura Mission’s important deposit, which illustrates the gold camp scale of endowment within the rapid space.
The Mission has vital progress potential and the first goal of the present +50,000m drill program is to extend the present 0.2Moz Au (Indicated) plus 0.8Moz Au (Inferred) (2) oxide and transition part of the Mission’s Mineral Useful resource to reinforce the economics of mine improvement.
The latest drill program has typically centered on shallow extra and extensional targets all through the well-mineralised hall, the place mineralisation has been drill-defined for a semi-continuous strike size of 16km and the place potential exists to develop the Mineral Useful resource at shallow depths in oxide materials .
