Orezone Gold (TSX:ORE), a Canadian gold exploration and development company, has announced the latest results of its Phase III resource definition drill program at the Bomboré Gold Mine in Burkina Faso. The program has focused on expanding the P17 zone and converting Inferred Resources into Measured and Indicated, in preparation for the upcoming sulphide expansion study.
The company’s Phase III program has yielded positive results, with the latest diamond drill results from the P8P9 and Maga zones contributing to over 100,000 meters of additional drilling to be incorporated into the upcoming resource and reserve update and expansion study.
According to Orezone, this marks the final set of Phase III drill results, bringing the company one step closer to achieving its goal of expanding the P17 zone and converting Inferred Resources to Measured and Indicated. The successful completion of this phase is a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing efforts to develop the Bomboré Gold Mine into a world-class mining operation.
Patrick Downey, President and CEO commented in a press release: “Our 2022 resource definition and expansion drill program has exceeded expectations, with several new high-grade zones now well-defined, all of which remain open to further expansion. The most recent results from P8P9 have delineated a new thick, well-mineralized zone, with several high-grade intercepts over downhole widths ranging from 20m to 50m. This zone remains open in several directions including towards surface. All sulphide drill results have now been received and the resource update, which will incorporate over 100,000m of new drilling, is now well-advanced. The sulphide expansion study will provide the platform to significantly increase annual throughput and production at the Bomboré operation and is expected to be released in Q3-2023.”
Highlights from the results are as follows:

Orezone Gold (TSX:ORE) has announced ongoing drill results from its Phase 3 program at the Bomboré Gold Project in Burkina Faso. Results from P17S-NE along the P17 mineralized trend have been reported from the program. The Phase 3 drilling at P17S was focused to define the continuity of the repeat, folded, high-grade granodiorite mineralized zones. The positive results announced by the company confirmed those zones.
Dr. Pascal Marquis, SVP of Exploration, commented in a press release: “I am extremely pleased with the ongoing drilling results at P17S, which confirm that this deposit continues to grow, not only along the known zones, but with new zones intersected outside of the current resource pit shell. Final results from this program at P17S are expected in the coming weeks. Drilling is now underway at the Siga deposits, as part of our resource conversion program, but we expect to be back drilling at P17S later this year to follow up on these very encouraging results.”
Highlights from the drill results are as follows:
