4,131 out of a total 5,213 Golden Hill Project RC drill samples (80%) awaiting gold analysis
Boss Resources Limited (ASX: BOE) is pleased to announce the completion of a 72 hole 5,213m RC drilling program on its Golden Hill Project within the Houndé Greenstone Belt in western Burkina Faso, West Africa. The program aimed to infill historic drilling completed by Orezone Resources Inc. (Orezone) at A Zone, C Zone, and Peksou prospects to a JORC compliant drill spacing, confirm historic drill intercepts and expand the currently defined gold mineralisation at Ma East, Pekperine and B Zone prospects. RC assays for the A Zone Prospect have now been received with gold mineralisation intercepted in all drill holes. All the Boss RC drill intercepts compare favorably to the historic Orezone intercepts that were drilled across the mineralisation. Final assays for all other prospects are awaited.
Gold mineralisation within the A Zone drilling is associated with an albite‐carbonate‐pyrite altered syenite body up to 60m wide that has intruded into the NNE‐trending Intiedougou Fault Zone (IFZ).

The IFZ can be traced in aeromagnetic, ground magnetic and ground Induced Polarization (IP) images for a distance of over 5 kilometres. The syenite bodies display coincident chargeability and resistivity highs with IP data proving a useful tool for delineating these mineralised intrusives. Existing Orezone IP data indicates the potential for southern extensions to the B Zone Prospect gold mineralisation and will be used to track additional mineralised intrusives and target more RC drilling in the area.
Results from the 15 RC holes drilled at the A Zone prospect include the following significant intercepts:

Boss implements a rigorous quality control program with RC drilling involving the insertion of one certified standard from an accredited New Zealand laboratory, a blank sample, and a riffle split duplicate sample within every 30 samples submitted for analysis. The ALS laboratory in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso was used for gold analysis on all the RC samples. Samples were assayed using standard fire assay techniques on a 50 gram charge with an atomic absorption finish.
Managing Director, Leigh Ryan said that “the results from the first 15 holes of Boss’ 72 hole maiden RC drill program at Golden Hill confirm the historic drill results and highlight the potential for large tonnage low grade gold deposits within the numerous shear hosted syenite intrusives in the region. We’re looking forward to receiving some higher grade intercepts over significant widths from the five other prospects we’ve recently drilled within the permit. Our focus moving forward will be to systematically drill test the numerous large soil and IP anomalies within our Golden Hill project with the aim of producing a JORC compliant gold resource.”
