Cora Gold Ltd - Overview
Cora is an AIM-listed gold exploration company that holds
exploration licenses in southern and western Mali and eastern
Senegal. Its portfolio covers nearly 1,100km(2) of prospective
ground across two of the most prolific gold belts in the region,
Yanfolila and Kenieba, which account for more than 65m oz gold
discovered over the last two decades.
Cora has focused exploration activities on its flagship
Sanankoro project, extending identified zones of gold
mineralisation within a 14km long structural corridor yet to be
fully tested.
The Company's exploration activities have already delineated
significant mineralisation with confirmation of continuous oxide
gold occurrences at Zone A, Zone B and Selin within the Sanankoro
project. A maiden JORC 2012 compliant Inferred Mineral Resource
Estimate ("MRE") of 5.0 million tonnes at 1.6g/t Au for 265,000 oz
gold is supported by an independent JORC 2012 compliant Exploration
Target of between 30-50mt of ore at an average grade of 1.0-1.3g/t
for 1.0-2.0moz gold.
Cora have continued to de-risk the Sanankoro project showing
shallow oxide material with potential for lower cost open pit
mining, together with positive metallurgical test work results. The
company also recently signed a US$21m term sheet with Lionhead
Capital Advisors to fund construction on completion of a positive
Feasibility Study before the end of 2021.

The latest Bokoro and Dako II results were returned from first
pass reconnaissance drilling which has discovered two new 1.5km
long gold zones about 1.5km south of the existing Selin deposit and
7.5km south of Zone A respectively. A total of 85 holes were
drilled for 6,082m. All holes were drilled to depths of 60-80m with
results including 8m @ 7.4g/t gold from 6m (BC0057), and several
holes ending in mineralisation. The d iscovery of two new zones of
mineralisation close to the existing Selin deposit illustrates the
potential of the Sanankoro project.

at Sanankoro.
