September 8, 2016 / Nexus Gold Corp. (TSX-V: NXS) (NXXGF – OTC) announced that the Company has mobilized personnel to the project site and exploration activities have commenced at the Bouboulou Gold Concession in Burkina Faso, West Africa.
Nexus Gold Director, Warren Robb, P.Geo, will plan and implement the fall exploration program at Bouboulou.
Mr. Robb was Chief Geologist for Roxgold in 2012 where he wrote the 43-101 and oversaw drilling at the property (then called Bissa West).
Immediate work includes reviewing legacy data, data compilation, geological mapping, drill hole mapping and selection, rock and core geochemical re-sampling, ground confirmation, and sourcing of drill operator, equipment and crew.
In addition to the four known gold zones at Bouboulou, a new area of interest has been observed on the property.
“The new area near Pelgtanga appears to be a deep structure, we’re going to get a good look at, said Warren Robb, P.Geo.
The Bouboulou Gold concession is a near-surface, advanced stage gold exploration target located in a known gold belt, within a prolific and highly active area.
Previous drilling has identified multiple zones of gold mineralization on the property establishing both length (40m @ 1.5 g/t Au, 35 m @ 2.2 g/t Au, among others) and grade (2m @ 12.45 g/t Au, 4m @ 12.53 g/t Au, and .3m @ 81.32 g/t Au ).
About Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso is a landlocked nation, located in West Africa. It covers an area of roughly 274,000 square kilometres and has an estimated population of more than 16 million people. The country has a stable political setting with a pro-mining and foreign investment stance. Burkina Faso is the fastest growing gold producer in Africa, and was the 4th largest gold producer in Africa in 2012. Eight new mines have been commissioned there over the past six years. The country has excellent geological potential. The Greenstone Belts that host all of the major deposits in Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire continue northward into Burkina Faso. Burkina Faso has undergone less than 15 years of modern mineral exploration, remaining under explored in comparison to neighbouring Ghana and Mali; both of which host world class gold mines in the same belts of Birimian rocks.
