WAF West African Res Ltd

Gold developer West African Resources Limited (ASX:WAF) (TSX-V:WAF) is pleased to announce further highgrade gold results from oxide resource definition drilling at its Mankarga 5 deposit, Burkina Faso.

The results are from the north-eastern sections of the Mankarga deposit which has been infill drilled on 50m spaced drill lines. These drill results will improve grade and category in the resource update planned for the December quarter. Results from the ongoing program include:

  - TAC0310: 10m at 1.33 g/t Au from 20m - TAC0315: 2m at 9.05 g/t Au from 50m ending in mineralization - TAC0317: 7m at 1.98 g/t Au from 30m - TAC0319: 9m at 1.22 g/t Au from 5m - TAC0334: 10m at 1.78 g/t Au from 35m - TAC0335: 5m at 3.21 g/t Au from 15m - TAC0345: 12m at 1.28 g/t Au from 10m - TAC0348: 22m at 1.87 g/t Au from 3m including 8m at 2.46g/t Au - TAC0398: 8m at 1.77 g/t Au from 16m  

An updated cross-section of NE850 and summary plan showing results from recent drilling as well as is shown below in Figures 1 and 2, with results presented in Tables 2 and 3 in link below.

In February, West African acquired a second-hand 1.6Mtpa heap leach plant as part of its plan to fasttrack development of Mankarga 5. Last week the Company delivered the results of a Scoping Study which demonstrated a low capital cost and high margin robust heap leach starter project (ASX,TSXV: 29/7/14).

The Company is focussed on near-term production with its immediate attention on the Mankarga 5 deposit and existing nearby gold prospects. The Company aims to be a +50,000oz per annum gold producer by the end of 2015 via a low-cost heap leach starter project.
