Asara Resources drilling hits broad gold at Kada Project

Ongoing infill and extension drilling at the Massan deposit has continued to deliver broad gold intercepts, reinforcing the scale and continuity of mineralisation at Asara Resources' (ASX:AS1) flagship Kada Gold Project in Guinea.

The West African gold explorer reported results from a further 16 reverse circulation and diamond drill holes totalling 3,593m from its Phase 1 program, which is focused on upgrading inferred resources to indicated and testing down-dip extensions within the existing mineral resource estimate area.

The latest assays confirm strong continuity between drill holes across previously less-defined areas, validate the company's geological model, and demonstrate that mineralisation extends beyond the US$1,800/oz pit shell into fresh rock at depth.

Multiple holes returned consistent, broad gold zones with higher-grade intervals, supporting confidence in both near-surface and deeper mineralisation.

Phase 1 drilling is nearing completion, while Phase 2 drilling has commenced to test strike extensions to the north and south, with the aim of expanding the overall resource footprint at Massan.

At the time of reporting, Asara Resources' share price was $0.098.
