Many Peaks (ASX:MPK) has received assays with significant intercepts from both extensional and infill drilling of the Ouarigue prospect within the larger Ferké Gold Project in Côte d’Ivoire.
Results are from an additional six diamond drilling (DD) holes totalling 2,195m drilled from the campaign initiated in April 2025 that has been extended from a 6,000m to a 15,000m planned program.
Managing Director Travis Schwertfeger says “high-grade” gold intercepts at Ferké, including today’s 75m @ 6.11 grams per tonne continue to underpin the likelihood of a significant discovery in progress at the flagship project in Côte d’Ivoire.
Assays received include: 75m @ 6.11g/t gold from 427m, including 7.07m @ 52.9g/t gold at FNDC052, and 87m @ 1.50g/t gold from 340m, including 12m @ 6.15g/t gold at FNDC042.
“Our team is pleased to see a strong continuity of gold mineralisation in context of a bulk tonnage target at Ouarigue, and we are excited about the significant underground potential the high-grade intercepts represent for continuing exploration upside,” says Schwertfeger.
Reported results consistently intersected down-dip extensions of the mineralised intrusion on each of three, 50m spaced sections targeted. Many Peaks says the central section 450 to 450’ (450N or Section D) demonstrates a significant increase in grade with depth associated with a structural zone of increased quartz veining.
The FNDC052 intercept outlines an estimated 64.5m true width zone from 350m vertical depth that supports potentially extending the depth of the open pit target and provides merit for deeper drilling to assess conceptual underground potential of the expanding exploration target.
Infill diamond drill hole FNDC053, on the same section, returned 44m @ 1.16g/t gold, also extending the vertical extent of mineralised intrusion above the recently reported 32.3m @ 1.73g/t gold in DD hole FNDC033.
