Fortuna(US:FSM) Globenewswire·2025-10-30 09:00Core Viewpoint - Fortuna Mining Corp. has reported successful exploration drilling results at the Sunbird Deposit in Côte d'Ivoire, indicating potential for resource growth and mine life extension through the discovery of high-grade mineralization at depth and the development of a second underground shoot [1][2]. Exploration Results - Recent drilling has extended the central mineralized zone by 150 meters down plunge, with significant intersections including 5.2 g/t Au over 6.3 meters from 787 meters in drill hole SGRD2460 [2][4]. - The lower shoot has been extended by 200 meters down plunge, with highlights including 6.0 g/t Au over 11.9 meters from 669 meters in drill hole SGRD2461 [2][5]. - A total of 40 drill holes, amounting to 15,088 meters, have been completed as part of the underground resource confidence infill and extension program [3]. High-Grade Intersections - Notable drill results include: - SGRD2434: 7.3 g/t Au over 16.1 meters from 688 meters, including 19.2 g/t Au over 1.4 meters [3]. - SGRD2444: 8.3 g/t Au over 11.9 meters from 448 meters [3]. - SGRD2452: 9.0 g/t Au over 5.6 meters from 658 meters, including 25.0 g/t Au over 1.4 meters [3]. - SGRD2460: 5.2 g/t Au over 6.3 meters from 787 meters [4]. - SGRD2461: 6.0 g/t Au over 11.9 meters from 669 meters [5]. - SGRD2470: 15.6 g/t Au over 5.6 meters from 483 meters [3]. Future Plans - The company has initiated an underground study to further assess the high-grade mineralization, with five drill rigs continuing to advance drilling aimed at expanding the mineralized envelope [2][5].
