Yeah, looks like it's just the one hole that is pretty good (FBDD041), with most returning in the 1-2 g/t region. 127m@3.1 g/t is quite a wide intercept with the true width approx 110m.

Interesting points jman. 6 g/t! That would have to be over a pretty wide zone and decent strike length too to make it worthwhile wouldn't it. It sounds like this particular shoot is closed off laterally but may continue to run at depths. So, they need a few more shoots like this to mine it?

Seems to be a lot of decent intersections inderneath the current pit design at Fobinso...

DEEPER DRILL HOLE INTERCEPTS HIGH GRADE MINERALISATION AT AYANFURI GOLD PROJECT

Perseus Mining Limited (ASX: PRU) is pleased to provide an update on the progress of exploration drilling at the Company’s flagship Ayanfuri Gold Project in Ghana.

As part of a long term drilling program at Ayanfuri a number of deeper drill holes have been completed to test below the limits of previous resource estimates.

Results to date have confirmed the continuation of gold mineralisation of generally similar tenor, except for the Fobinso deposit, where high grade gold mineralisation was encountered over a substantial width. Core hole FBDD041, the first deeper hole at Fobinso, returned 127m at 3.1g/t Au from 125m, including 37m at 6.8g/t Au from 126m. The true widths of the intercepts are about 110m and 32m respectively. The intercept grades were reasonably consistent, with low ‘nugget effect’. 11 individual values were between 10g/t and 22g/t Au and 13 values were between 5g/t and 10g/t Au (see Table 2 below). FBDD041 is the second best hole drilled to date on the 2km long, 2.1Moz, Abnabna-Fobinso zone.

Holes 40m on either side of core hole FBDD041 also encountered significant but weaker gold mineralisation. The high grade shoot is associated with strong quartz veining in a flexure zone within the granite host rock. Although apparently limited in strike length by drilling to date, this new high grade shoot is open at depth.

The current pit design at Fobinso is to about 100m vertical depth however, mineralisation intercepted in FBDD041 extends from 10m to 120m below the pit design.
