Intersections As Sulphide Zone Broadens at Depth


TORONTO - Roscan Gold Corporation reported positive results from an additional 17 DD and RC holes totaling 2,956 meters (m) at our Southern Mankouke Zone (MS1 and MS3). These results continue to confirm that mineralization is open at depth in fresh rock at MS1 with a broader zone. In addition, drilling at MS3 continues to expand the footprint to a mineralization envelope size that is now at 300m E-W, 200m N-S, and 10 to 40m width. More importantly, it appears that a consistent high-grade zone has been traced to a vertical depth of 120m, ended in fresh rock and remains open.

Mankouke Discovery Zone (MS3) - Potential High-Grade Extension at Depth to the East: At MS3, the mineralization is close to surface and commences in the saprolite. The gold envelope shows a folded shape with dimensions of 300 m E-W, 200 m N-S, and 10 to 40m width.

The mineralization is open to the West, North, and East, while toward the South, it could be seen as an extension of MS1 displaced by a fault. The East fold limp displays a good consistency with significant high-grade intercepts (DDMan20-59 with 20m @ 3gpt, RCMan21-22B with 17m @ 3.3 gpt and RCMan21-55 with 17m @ 3.53 gpt). There is also a felsic intrusive occurrence that can be traced to a depth of 200m vertical. This unit can also be mineralized as it evidenced at MS1 and has yet to be fully tested in MS3.

Main Mankouke South Zone (MS1) - Mineralization Continues to Open at Depth: At MS1, the last diamond drill holes continue to show good continuity at depth and laterally in the sulfide fresh rock. Drill Hole DDMAN21-116 with 16m @ 3.31 gpt, located 100m North from DDMAN21-104B (with 25m @ 2.02 gpt), shows the wide broadening of the sulphide at depth at consistent high grade, which remains open and has yet to be tested.

The mineralization is strongly associated with the alteration mainly albite-carbonate-silicification, pyrite-arsenopyrite assemblage and often with the occurrences of quartz veins and veinlets network but also fractured rock.

The mineralization envelope fits very well in the alteration halo wireframe. These diamond holes also show that the felsic intrusion played an important role during the mineralization by hydrothermal gold mobilization or remobilization. Gold is in the sedimentary package at the top and limited by the footwall, which is carbonaceous bedded mudstone, in discordance with the gold-bearing folded clastic-limestone sequence.

The gold mineralization is open at depth and laterally, following the felsic intrusive toward the North and the South which fortunately crosses the barren footwall, allowing the mineralization to extend deeper.

Nana Sangmuah, President and CEO, said, ”We continue to be very excited as the mineralization of our Mankouke South flagship continues to expand, now with the doubling of the MS3 footprint, which remains open to the West-East and at depth. At MS1, we are also very pleased by the broadening of the sulphide zone at depth with consistent high-grade intercepts, pointing to the feeder zone opening up at depth. We expect a busy 2nd half of 2021 with a further 20,000m of assays to come from our Mankouke West, Mankouke South, Mankouke Centre, Kabaya KB4, Dabia South and Moussala MOU1 targets in addition to delivering our maiden resource estimate by year end.”
