Arbor Metals Corp.

 

Vancouver, Canada - TheNewswire – June 13th, 2021 - Arbor Metals Corp. (the “Company”) (TSXV:ABR) (FWB:432) reports it is currently planning a geophysical survey at the Rakounga Gold Concession located 100 km north west of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, West Africa.  

The survey will further test and define gold anomalies identified through geochemical programs conducted along a broad south west – north east trend, that extend from the permit’s northern boundary to workings located near its western boundary.  

The survey will enhance critical data in areas of previous drilling, notably the Koaltenga and Porphyry zones identified by previous operators. Drilling in 2017 and 2018 established mineralization within the Koaltenga zone.

* All reported results are intercept lengths and are not true widths.  

The workings at Koaltenga feature broad intercepts containing zones running 4 to 6 grams Au suggesting a prominent primary structure which has permeated out into the surrounding schists and volcanic rocks.  The program is also being designed test the Bouboulou 1 orpaillage as well as a number of significant soil geochemical anomalies occurring between the two zones.

Details regarding the survey scope and timeline will be made available in the coming weeks.
