Koka returns high grade gold results
Perth-based Africa-focused miner Sub-Sahara Resources (ASX:SBS) has received high-grade
gold results during diamond drilling at the Koka Prospect, located at the company's Zara Project
in Eritrea.
The high-grade results were returned to 200 metres vertical depth over a distance of 450
metres.
Drilling highlights included:
• ZARD015 - 13 metres grading 24.75 g/t gold from 88 metres
• ZARD017 - 11 metres grading 14.72 g/t gold from 133 metres
• ZARD017 - 6 metres grading 42.36 g/t gold from 147 metres
Sub-Sahara chief executive officer Michael Griffiths said the drilling results conformed to
management's expectations, with the newly discovered southern extension intersected
in ZARD017 further enhancing the overall prospectivity of the Koka Prospect.
Mr Griffiths said two off-set parallel zones striking north-south had been intersected and
mineralisation was open in both directions and at depth.
"On-going drilling will test this model of mineralisation during coming weeks," he said.
The most significant diamond drill results returned from the recent drilling continue to
display the high-grade nature of the mineralisation (See Table 1).
Drilling at the Koka Prospect will continue to define the extent of mineralisation. Further
drill results will be released to the market as they come to hand.
