interesting past drilling results from mali

Stumbled on these results from Randgolds exploration activities in Mali circa 2003.

From Randgold 2nd qtr results 2003
The Company has undertaken reconnaissance drilling of three conceptual targets
within its tenements in the Morila region. Results received from the first
target, Ntiola, which locates 10 kilometres north west of the mine, returned 36
metres @ 1.41g/t including significant intercepts of 6 metres at 2.9g/t and 15
metres at 1.6g/t at a depth of ninety metres and directly below a trench grading
24 metres at 2.3g/t. Mineralisation locates within silicified metasediments
hosting disseminated arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite which are similar to those
hosting the Morila orebody. The target is still conceptual with only 4 trenches
and one borehole testing a broad zone. The identified zone locates on the
eastern margin of a large gold in soil anomaly coincident with a series of
geophysical anomalies and remain as yet untested.

To the north west of the Morila lease area, work has progressed on the ground
covered by the joint venture with OMRD and has identified a large geochemical
anomaly which will be the subject of follow-up exploration.

And from Randgold 3rd qtr 2003 results:
On the Company's own holdings around the lease area, target delineation
is in progress at the Ntiola prospect over the large soil anomaly covering a 1
500 metre by 600 metre area and on twelve other targets which all locate within
a 25 km radius of the mine site.
