➡ Fortuna Mining has reported successful drilling results at their Sunbird location in the Seguella Mine, Cote d’Ivoire, with significant gold findings. They’ve also discovered a second underground area with high-grade gold. The drilling has expanded the underground potential, with the deepest holes revealing multiple high-grade intervals. The company continues to drill with five rigs and has started an underground study.

Well, hello there my friends, Chris Marcus here with you for Arcadia Economics and a quick update this morning as we did have some news from Fortuna Mining as they’ve been continuing their drilling effort at their sunbird location at the Seguella Mine in Cote d’Ivoire and they just came back with 7.3g per tonne gold over 16.1m and also defined a second underground shoot. So let us take you right to a comment from Paul Wieden, the senior VP of Exploration at Fortuna who I will be seeing in November as I’m taking another trip back over to Seguella and be good to get some commentary from him and fortunately we have a little bit today because he mentions drilling at sunbird has been very successful in expanding the underground potential with the deepest holes to date intersecting multiple high-grade intervals including 5.2g per tonne over a true width of 6.3m.

That also extends the central mineralized zone to a further 150m down plunge where it remains open and they’ve also been successful in extending the lower shoot another 200m down plunge where they got a result of 6g per tonne over a true width of 11.9m and they have initiated an underground study while they still have five drill rigs going. Here in terms of the highlights you can see that 7.3g over 16.1m I mentioned earlier here’s another drill hole 8.3g per tonne over 11.9m 9g per tonne over 5.6m 9.5g per tonne over 5.6m 6g over 11.9m 15.6g per tonne over 5.6m and 6g over 9.8m and they have completed 40 drill holes over 15,088m to upgrade their resource confidence from the infill and extension program and drilling continues to intersect high grades along the projected plunge with mineralization now extending more than 1.3km down plunge approximately 700m below the surface and here you can see the map there is sunbird down there there is the mill and the processing plant and again i’ll be there in november although in case you missed the video that we did when i was there last time a little bit of a tour of what it looks like at seguela well that one’s coming your way now
