Highlights
Compass CEO, Larry Phillips, commented, “This next 3,000 m RC program at Farabakoura will be building on our previously successful drilling results as well as our geophysical surveys over this area of intense artisanal gold mining. Our near term objective is to increase the strike length of known drilled mineralization, and to delineate the extent of bedrock gold mineralization identified in the near-surface from numerous artisanal gold-bearing veins. At the same time, our technical team has completed a high-resolution ground magnetic survey on two prospects on our Sankarani permit area and we’re awaiting assay results from the surface samples they’ve collected from the Yanfolila South artisanal pits. We are looking to complete as much of this work as possible before the rainy season begins at the end of the month.”
Farabakoura DrillingBedrock drilling conducted by Compass in December 2018, and January and April 2019 identified a broad northwest-trending zone of gold mineralization over intervals up to 160 m (OURC011; 60 m @ 1.42 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au). This drilling also found several discrete, shorter, but higher-grade intervals, (13 m @ 3.40 g/t Au (OURC011), and the bonanza intercept of 18 m @ 20.69 g/t Au (OUDD001). This mineralized zone was traced over a distance of 430 m between OURC002 and OURC011, and remains open to the southeast. The current drilling program at Farabakoura (see Figure 1) is to include at least 20 drill holes (3,000 m) and is designed to test several target structures and lithologies. These targets include the southeast strike extension of the Farabakoura Pit Structure by an additional 300 m, and numerous bedrock gold veins that are located around the extensive artisanal workings. Drilling locations were selected based primarily on the presence of gold-bearing quartz-tourmaline veins; anomalous magnetic lows (due to alteration), high chargeability (due to pyrite), high resistivity (due to silicification); and, the intrusive contact between granodiorite and volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks.

Next Steps:
Compass’ field teams have recently completed a high-resolution ground magnetic survey on the Sankarani permit at Sodala and Tarabala prospects, and are now performing a survey at Selindian (Figure 1). The Sodala data is being interpreted to determine which structures control mineralization, and determine whether a complementary geophysical survey method should be performed.
Pit reject sampling is now complete over artisanal workings on the Yanfolila South Block and the Company is waiting for gold assay data. Drilling is unlikely to occur at either Sankarani or the Yanfolila South Block prior to the annual rains at the end of June.
