Adamus
Resources Limited (ASX: ADU) has identified a further zone of mineralisation
below the existing Bokrobo deposit at its Southern Ashanti Gold Project in
South West Ghana.
The
mineralisation was intercepted after extending a planned infill drillhole some
150 metres deeper than anticipated after visible gold was identified in swarms
of narrow quartz veins in a granitic host.
Bokrobo currently has a mineral
resource estimate of 1.2 mt @ 2.38g/t Au in the Measured and Indicated
category with a further 540,000 tonnes @ 1.93g/t Au in Inferred, all
located in near-surface zones down to 100 metres.
Adamus
CEO Mark Bojanjac said the new mineralisation is of a style not previously
encountered in the area and has the potential to produce broad zones at depth.

This drilling
is part of a larger programme to test the depth potential of all of the
mineralisation at both the Anwia and Salman areas. Bokrobo forms part of
the Anwia trend of mineralisation..
"This
is an excellent start to Adamus' deeper exploration programme."
Once
the current programme is complete the Bokrobo mineral resource estimate will be
updated. Adamus has completed the immediate multipurpose RC/Diamond
drilling at Bokrobo and further work is being planned.
Current
drilling is focussed on the Salman Trend with initial results to be released
shortly.
