Core Insights - Lavras Gold Corp. has reported significant drilling results from the Fazenda do Posto Gold Target, with 12 new drill holes totaling 4,007 metres, intersecting gold mineralization in 11 of the holes [1][2][4] - The drilling results include a notable intersection of 251.0 metres grading 1.2 g/t gold, with higher-grade subintervals, indicating a robust gold mineralization footprint [3][4][5] - The company aims to define an economically feasible gold resource on the LDS Project, focusing on the Fazenda do Posto Gold Discovery and the adjacent Butiá Gold Deposit [2][4] Drilling Results - Hole 24FP032 returned 251.0 metres grading 1.2 g/t gold, including 100.0 metres grading 2.2 g/t gold and several higher-grade subintervals [3][4][5] - Drillhole 24BT043, collared on the Butiá claim block, successfully extended the known gold mineralized footprint to the northwest, confirming continuity of gold mineralization across a northeast-southwest trending structural corridor [4][10][12] - The results from the drilling program continue to demonstrate the excellent gold grade and continuity of the Fazenda do Posto Gold Discovery, with long continuous intervals of gold mineralization [5][12][19] Geological Insights - The current interpretation suggests that Fazenda do Posto is a steeply northwest plunging, irregular pipe-like structure, with ongoing drilling testing potential extensions to mineralization [5][12] - The drilling program aims to gain greater insight into the geological controls of mineralization, with a focus on northeast trending structures that influence the pattern and nature of mineralization [4][5][12] - A detailed metallurgical testing program has been initiated for Fazenda do Posto and Butiá as part of the overall derisking strategy for the project [2][5] Future Plans - The company plans to continue drilling at both the Butiá and Fazenda do Posto areas, as well as the Caneleira Concession, where recent discoveries have been made [6][12] - The ongoing drilling program is designed to further define the gold mineralization footprint and assess the potential for additional discoveries in the region [8][12]

Core Viewpoint - Starcore International Mines Ltd. provides an update on the geological characteristics of its Kimoukro Project, located in the Fetekro-Oumé greenstone belt in Côte d'Ivoire, highlighting its potential for gold mineralization due to favorable geological conditions [1][21]. Geological Overview - The Kimoukro Project is situated in a fully-permitted exploration area within the Fetekro-Oumé greenstone belt, known for hosting significant gold deposits, yet remains underexplored [2][21]. - The Fetekro-Oumé greenstone belt consists of Paleoproterozoic basalts, andesites, and volcano-sedimentary sequences, characterized by structural complexity and deformation from the Eburnean Orogeny [3][4]. - The local geology includes alluvial sediments, primarily clay, with gold anomalies, and a maximum thickness of 20 meters [6][7]. Structural Geology - The structural framework reflects progressive deformation from the Eburnean orogeny, with steeply dipping foliation planes and evidence of multiple tectonic events [9][10][12]. - The area has undergone significant deformation phases, with quartz veining associated with shear deformation and varying structural styles depending on the host rock [13][18]. Mineralization - Gold mineralization at Kimoukro is both primary and secondary, with primary mineralization being structurally controlled and associated with shear quartz veins and intrusion-related systems [14][21]. - Significant gold anomalies have been identified, including a 2 km x 600 m area with over 50 ppb Au and a 600 x 400 m zone with over 200 ppb Au [15][16]. - Artisanal mining activities have returned gold grades between 0.5 to 1.5 g/t Au, with peaks of 18 g/t Au near granite-tonalite contacts [16][19]. Exploration Potential - The geological characteristics and mineralization styles at Kimoukro align with key gold systems in the Fetekro-Oumé belt, indicating strong potential for further discoveries [21]. - Exploration targets include deformation and alteration halos around granite-tonalite contacts, which are considered prospective for further exploration [20].
