Many Peaks Minerals (ASX:MPK) has announced assay results for an additional eight diamond drill holes across 1,067m from the ongoing drill program at the Ouarigue gold prospect at Ferké in Côte d’Ivoire.
Drilling delivering representative samples from all defined mineralised zones at Ouarigue, with the plan for more advanced metallurgical test work to be completed in the coming months.
All holes intersected ‘significant’ intercepts, with key results including 105m @ 2.28 grams per tonne gold from 28m, including 2m @ 26.9g/t gold and 3m @ 17.8g/t gold; 39.15m @ 2.38g/t gold from surface; and 15.55m @ 2.90g/t gold from 21.15m, including 3m @ 10.7g/t gold and 8m @ 2.5g/t gold from 65m, including 1m @ 13.7g/t gold.
Many Peaks notes that these results demonstrate the continuity of a substantial bulk-tonnage target showing consistently increasing gold grades at depth.
The results are a key milestone for the company, representing a cut-off point for data that will be incorporated into the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for Ouarigue. The company expects further assay results at the end of April 2026, with further drilling planned throughout the year, with the target of an updated MRE in Q4 2026 alongside a Prefeasibility Study.
Many Peaks has already completed 64 holes across 10,150 this year, with multiple assays still pending.
The company has aggressive exploration drilling plans at Ferké, with two drill rigs on site and plans to mobilise a reverse circulation drill rig shortly.
Many Peaks is focused on advancing gold and copper projects in West Africa.
