Marketwired Canada
Indigo Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:IXI)(FRANKFURT:INE) provides the following
update on its planned Q4 gold exploration programs in Burkina Faso, West Africa.
Key points are:
-- Indigo is in the final stages of securing three drill contracts for an
aggregate of 45,000 metres.
-- Reverse circulation drilling is expected to commence in early November
with a second rig scheduled to arrive on site later in November.
-- This will allow Indigo to aggressively explore both the Moule and Lati
gold permits simultaneously.
-- Field crews will mobilize to Moule to test the 9 kilometre long by 500
to 1500 metre wide airborne radiometric anomaly suggestive of strong
hydrothermal alteration as soon as weather conditions permit.
-- Assay results from the July 2011 Moule diamond drilling program remain
pending.
Indigo has one 15,000 metre drill contact in place for early 2012 and has just
signed a second 15,000 metre contract commencing in early November. Indigo is in
the final stages of closing a third 15,000 metre contract to commence later in
November.
Follow up drilling at Moule will focus on Vein 3, Vein 2 and Zelingpe 1. Initial
Vein 3 drilling highlights include: 29.67 gpt Au over 7 metres and 10.86 gpt Au
over 3 metres. Initial Zelingpe 1 drilling highlights include 1.12 gpt Au over
28 metres.
Initial drilling on Lati will focus on the two new soil anomalies discovered on
Prospect 1. These anomalies are 4.75km long by 100-750m wide and 1.5km long by
250-350m wide respectively, with values generally between 25 and 5,000 ppb Au.
The soil anomalies coincide with portions of the two known artisanal sites and a
newly developing site lying on strike between the two known sites.
Indigo's President, Tim Henneberry, said: "Q4 2011 and Q1 and Q2 2012 will be
instrumental in the growth of Indigo. Forty-five thousand metres of drilling
over the 2011-2012 African field season will provide Indigo with a steady stream
of assay and geological information well into 2012."
About Burkina Faso
The Kodyel, Loto and Moule properties lie in the West African nation of Burkina
Faso. Much of West Africa is underlain by the Birimian Greenstone Belt, one of
the most prolific gold producing areas in the world. Many of the world's major
gold companies are active in West Africa, several with producing mines,
including: IAMGOLD Corporation, AngloGold Ashanti Limited, Randgold Resources
Limited, Gold Fields Limited and Newmont Mining Corporation. Burkina Faso is
politically and economically stable and relies on farming and mining as it
primary sources of revenue. Burkina Faso saw gold production double from 2008 to
2010 and is currently the 5th largest gold producing country in Africa.
