WIA hit 2km gold corridor at Mankono Ouest

July 19, 2023 0 By Rueben Hale
WIA Gold Limited (ASX: WIA) has discovered a new gold-rich corridor spanning 2km at the Mankono Ouest permit located in Ivory Coast, West Africa.

Samples collected from this area have shown peak gold values over 150ppb, indicating great potential for gold mining.

Meanwhile, earlier drilling over a 1.7km auger anomaly has yielded wide mineralised zones with significant intercepts, including 12m at 0.67 g/t Au (in MKAC0001) and 5m at 1.12 g/t Au (in MKAC0020).

WIA Chairman Andrew Pardy said the company plans to test for potential higher-tenor gold mineralisation in the underlying fresh rocks.


“Identifying a new 2km corridor of significant gold anomalism in the southern area of Mankono Ouest, including multiple auger sample results above 150ppb Au, is a further promising development,” Mr Pardy said.


“We look to air-cored to drill testing this new zone from Q4 CY2023 onward, along with undertaking follow-up RC drilling of the previously identified 1.7km anomaly that was recently the subject of our maiden air-core program at Mankono Ouest.

“We continue to systematically advance high-quality prospects across our impressive Côte d’Ivoire tenement portfolio. The opportunity to make another substantial gold discovery keeps us highly motivated, in parallel with the ongoing resource expansion drilling activities at our world-class Kokoseb Gold Project in Namibia.”
