DRILLING COMMENCES AT ALAHINÉ
Polymetals Resources Ltd is an Australian-based gold exploration and mining company, focussed on the systematic exploration of its highly prospective gold assets in the Siguiri Gold Basin, in Guinea, West Africa.
Key Highlights
-
2021 Exploration drill program (Phase 2) commenced at Alahiné on 29[th] of June
-
112 holes for 5,100 metres of combined Air-Core (AC) and Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling is planned to test the productive artisanal gold diggings enclosed by the 40 ppb Au-in-soil anomaly contour line at the East Alahiné North, Central and South prospects
-
Earlier Phase 1 drill program (2,400 metres) previously completed returned a best intercept of 12 metres @3.09 g/t Au, from 89 metres down hole (Hole 14)
-
The Phase 2 drilling program will test the lateral and vertical extent of the Hole 14 gold-mineralised zone and the inferred Siguiri-style shallow gold oxide potential
Polymetals Resources Ltd ( POL , Polymetals or the Company ) is pleased to advise that its planned 5,100-metre Phase 2 Air-Core (AC) and Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling programme at East Alahiné has commenced.
Phase 2 East Alahiné Drilling Programme
Target Drilling, an Australian-based West African drilling contractor, has been commissioned to complete the Phase 2 drilling program at Polymetals’ Alahiné Project. The program is designed to test the area enclosed by the 40 ppb Au-in-soil contour. Numerous productive shallow artisanal gold pits and diggings are present in this area.

Figure 1: Commencement of Phase 2 drilling (AH21ARC029)
A total of 112 holes along 14 drill fences are planned and are shown in Figure 2.
Phase 2 will continue to test the lateral and vertical extent of the Phase 1 Hole 14 gold mineralised zone, as well as the Siguiri-like shallow oxide gold potential, as demarcated by the 40 ppb Au-in-soil anomaly contour and by active artisanal gold workings.

Figure 2: Au-in-soil grid image highlighting the 40 ppb Au-in-soil contour (white), which also encloses numerous active artisanal gold diggings. The planned 112 holes will test the East Alahiné North (80 holes), Central (18 holes), and South (14 holes) prospects.
A senior POL Australian geologist is on-site to manage the program, assisted by four local geologists and the Company’s Country Manager.
All samples are to be analysed by SGS at their Bamako facility in Mali.
Further details will be provided as and when they become available.
Approved by the board of Polymetals Resources Ltd.

COMPETENT PERSONS’ STATEMENT
The information in this ASX Announcement that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Mr Henry Tebar, a Competent Person who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Tebar is a full-time contractor of Polymetals Resources Limited and has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr Tebar consents to the inclusion in this ASX Announcement of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
ABOUT POLYMETALS
Polymetals is focussed on exploring two licences within Guinea’s Siguiri Basin which hosts several large active gold mining operations and is notable for its significant and widespread gold anomalism.
