Mako Gold (ASX: $MKG) announces expansion of high-grade drill target

Mako Gold Limited (ASX: $MKG) has announced the expansion of the high-grade drill target at Tchaga North on the Napié Project in Côte d'Ivoire. The rock chip sampling results at the new Double Zone have extended the drill target to 250m in strike length, with high-grade rock chip results including 22.46g/t Au, 16.78g/t Au, 12.85g/t Au, and 4.86g/t Au complementing previously announced results of 44.73g/t Au, and 6.29g/t Au. The Double Zone, situated on the western greenstone/granite contact, is considered a high-priority drill target, and the high-grade results are from new active artisanal mining pits in the recently identified east-west structural trend which has yet to be tested by drilling. The Managing Director and General Manager Exploration are departing for a five-week boots-on-the-ground evaluation of the new high-grade targets and for due diligence for the potential Goldridge transaction.
