Core Insights - Orezone Gold Corporation has reported additional drill results from its Bomboré Gold Mine, confirming the continuity of higher-grade mineralization beneath current resource pits, indicating significant exploration potential [1][3][5]. Exploration Results - Approximately 30,000 meters of exploration drilling was completed in H1-2025, with notable results including: - Extension of North Zone footwall mineralization up to 200 meters below current reserve pits, with grades of 2.55 g/t Au over 23.00 meters and 1.14 g/t Au over 29.50 meters [5]. - Extension of the P17S high-grade sub-zone by 300 meters down plunge, with a grade of 7.40 g/t Au over 6.70 meters [5]. - Identification of multiple broad near-surface strike extensions, including 2.22 g/t Au over 14.00 meters and 1.12 g/t Au over 10.00 meters [5]. Future Plans - Drilling will continue in H2-2025, aiming to increase Bomboré's global resource from 5 million ounces to a target of 7 to 10 million ounces, with an overall production increase to 220,000-250,000 ounces per annum [6]. North and P8P9 Zones - The North Zone continues to define and expand mineralized trends along a 3 km strike length, with mineralization associated with specific geological features [6][7]. - The P8P9 Zone has shown potential for wide zones of mineralization, with significant intercepts including 1.09 g/t Au over 45.00 meters within a broader intercept of 0.64 g/t Au over 157.00 meters [11][10]. Selected Drill Highlights - Recent drilling confirmed the down plunge continuity of higher-grade mineralization in the North Hill sub-zone, with intercepts of 1.59 g/t Au over 48.00 meters and 1.97 g/t Au over 16.10 meters [9]. - The P8P9 Zone has been defined over a 1.6 km strike length, with discrete higher-grade lenses within broader low-grade zones [10].
