Azumah Resources Limited (ASX: AZM)

Drilling commences at bepkong AND kunche WEST

Azumah Resources Limited (?Azumah?) is pleased to advise that it has commenced a reverse circulation drilling programme at its Wa-Lawra Gold Project, north-west Ghana.

Six holes will test for near-surface, north and south extensions to the 212,000 ounce gold Bepkong Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource (Figure 1, Table1).

Two 100m holes are also planned to investigate a new, high-priority, north-north-west trending target 400m west of the 516,000 ounce gold Kunche Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource.

A recent desktop review of historical geophysical datasets showed that mineralisation at Kunche is associated with ?high chargeability and apparent resistivity responses?. The new target has similar geophysical characteristics, supporting anomalous geochemical soil samples and anomalous mineralisation in a shallow depth drill hole.
