Fekola Mine Expansion positive!
B2Gold Corporation announces positive drill results from the Mamba zone which is located within the Anaconda area approximately 20 kilometres from the Fekola Mine, as well as positive infill drill results from the Fekola mineral resource area and step out results north of the Fekola resource.
Report on the recent exploration drilling in 2019 in Mali has been focused on increasing the Anaconda area saprolite resource, testing mineralized zones beneath the shallow saprolite zones, infill drilling the Inferred portion of the Fekola Mineral Resource to indicate status and expanding the Fekola deposit further to the north. Based on positive drill results, in July, the Company increased the 2019 exploration budget in Mali by $3 million to $20.5 million.
B2Gold has completed an 850-hole (24,863 metre) program. Drilling focused mainly on the Mamba zone, located one kilometre east of the Anaconda zone, where the Company previously announced an Inferred Mineral Resource estimate of 767,000 ounces of gold in near-surface saprolite mineralization over 4.5 kilometres and up to 500 metres wide.
