    A first drilling phase is aimed at checking at depth the gold occurrences
contained within two highly anomalous areas in the vicinity of extensive
artisanal workings. The program consists of 20 diamond drill holes for a
planned total of 3,500 metres to check the continuity of a 1,500 metre long
anomaly (Koulouba and Kilotadacoun) and a 2,000 metre long anomaly at
(Belinimorokoulou, Dadjan, and Gontoule). Both geophysical anomalies are still
open to the north and south. In addition to diamond drilling, the company is
acquiring more geophysical data on a third area (Galala and Moussala) where
the higher concentration of artisanal mining workings is located.
