ON THE GROUND IN MALI-UPDATE
Robex Ressources Inc. has confirmed that the current work on the N'Golola zone of Mininko (see Stock news release of March 5, 2009) is going very well and samples are on their way to the ASL Laboratories of Bamako to be analyzed. Also, the permits for the exploitation of Wili-Wili and Wili-Wili West, held by Robex, were renewed on Feb. 17, 2009, for three years. This has officially allowed the team to plan some work there in the near future.
Current work on Mininko
The current works on the N'Golola Zone of the Mininko property are going very well and have been extended beyond this zone. A total of 33 pits of 8 to 9 meters depth, and a trench 20 meters long, by 1 meter wide have been dug. Thirty-five (35) kg of samples from those works are on their way to the ALS Laboratory of Bamako for analysis. Next Monday, the workers will be moved on to Kamasso, where a lot of orpailleurs (artisanal gold diggers) are now working. Kamasso is contiguous to the south end of Mininko. It is located between the Morila and Syama world-class gold mines.
Wili-Wili and Wili-Wili West permits
Wili-Wili and Wili-Wili West are located south of the Yatela, Sadiola and Loulo world-class gold mines exploited by IAMGOLD, who has just confirm a $10.5 million partnership with Merrex Gold (see Merrex press release of December 23th 2008), to develop the Siribaya gold Mining project, a very promising gold property neighbouring Wili-Wili West.Prior grassroots exploration by Robex led to an important gold discovery (see press release of May 17th 2007 and June 13th 2007). Soil-geochemistry identified a gold-arsenic anomaly, 2.8km x 600m, coinciding with two structural systems visible on the regional MAG map. Re-sampling of old pits from the north-central part of the anomaly revealed high gold values. IP resistivity geophysical surveys were carried out following a 100-meter line spacing and have covered a 1.1km by 1.5km area (linear distance of 18km) over the Fandou zone and a 1.5km by 3.0km area (linear distance of 48km) over the Mamoudouya zone. We anticipate that new works should begin on Wili-Wili in April 2009.
