Orezone Gold Corporation: Positive Deeper Drilling Results at Bombore Indicate Upside at Depth - "Orezone Gold Corporation (TSX:ORE - News) is pleased to announce positive results from the start of an extensive 120,000m drill program to further infill and expand gold resources at its 100% owned Bombore Project in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Of the first 18 holes, 14 targeted and intersected the Maga Main Zone covering a 650m strike length at depths between 50 to 122 m (average depth of 89m) in the fresh-rock (sulphide) mineralization. These intersections average 1.18g/t which are in line with projections from the current model down to this depth. Ten holes, including seven that were collared to intersect the Maga Main Zone, also intersected mineralization on the eastern flank (hanging wall) of the main zone (Maga HW) over a strike length of 300m at depths between 10 to 116m and with an average grade of 0.95 g/t. These results are also in line with the current resource model. The results validate the current resource model and more importantly, confirm the extension and grade of the sulphide mineralization below the model and thereby the immediate potential to further expand resources at depth with further drilling."
