Starvest PLC (LON:SVE), the London Stock Exchange AIM listed
specialist mining and resources investment business, is pleased to
announce investee company Cora Gold Ltd (LON:CORA) has provided an
update on its flagship Sanankoro gold project in West Africa.
Highlights:
-- Exploration Target of between 30-50mt of gold ore at an
average grade of 1.0-1.3g/t for 1.0 - 2.0moz gold at the flagship
Sanankoro gold discovery in southern Mali.
-- Mineralisation has been outlined to a depth of 100m most of
which is hosted within weathered material close to surface.

Callum Baxter, Chairman/CEO of Starvest commented, "Since
admission to AIM in late 2017 the team at Cora have consistently
delivered exciting drill results from the Sanankoro project. The
rapid calculation of an initial JORC compliant exploration target
of 1-2moz gold is very encouraging. Gold mineralisation has now
been identified over approximately 8km of strike at Sanankoro which
lies in a prolific gold producing region of West Africa. Drill
results up to 50g/t gold with good mineralised widths are present
and there is potential to increase the strike length of
mineralisation to around 14km. We look forward to further
information from Cora's on-going work at the project."
Cora Gold Ltd - Overview
Cora Gold is an AIM listed gold exploration company holding
numerous early stage exploration licenses in Southern/Western Mali
and Eastern Senegal. The portfolio covers nearly 1,500km(2) of
prospective ground across two of the most prolific gold belts in
the region, Yanfolila and Kenieba, which account for more than
65moz gold discovered over the last two decades.
Cora Gold has focused initial exploration activities on its
flagship Sanankoro project, extending identified zones of gold
mineralisation within a 14km long structural corridor yet to be
fully tested.
The geological setting and scale of the anomalies suggest the
potential for a reasonable greenfield gold discovery at Sanankoro
with the management team aiming for a +1moz deposit. SRK Consulting
have independently calculated an initial JORC compliant exploration
target of between 30-50mt gold ore at an average grade of
1.0-1.3g/t for 1.0-2.0moz gold.
To date mineralisation has been delineated to a depth of 100m,
most of which is hosted within weathered material. Weathering
(oxidation) depth ranges from around 50m to in excess of 100m
across the exploration target area. The relatively soft oxidised
rock would potentially allow for low-cost surface mining and
milling.
Starvest will continue to closely follow the development of Cora
Gold and we look forward to further information from Cora's
on-going work at Sanankoro.
Starvest is a specialist mining and resource investment company
and has the industry knowledge and market exposure to select
compelling opportunities early in the investment cycle.
