Ongoing Drilling Targets New Prospects

Several additional targets have been identified elsewhere at Boussoura permit, and with field mapping ongoing, more are expected to be identified and ranked for prospectivity. Historically, work prior to 2012 focussed around the Fofora area with shallow drilling and trenching, and pre-dated much of the current artisanal workings, with very little work carried out on the remainder of the permit.

Outcrop mapping and the extensive artisanal workings coupled with historic geophysical surveys, has helped develop a good understanding of the key structural controls, assisting with targeting of the host high grade quartz veins. Active artisanal workings in at least 15 localities within the 250km² Boussoura permit and which commonly extend for 300-400m, highlight the potential for additional high grade gold mineralization. An extensive auger program is being prepared to test the broad areas that are under surface cover, the results of which are expected to highlight additional targets.

Additional mapping, soil and auger geochemistry and reconnaissance RC/DD drilling will continue during H1.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control

Boussoura

All drilling data completed by Roxgold Inc. have utilized the following procedures and methodologies and carried out under the supervision of Roxgold personnel.

RC drilling used a 5.25 inch face sampling pneumatic hammer with samples collected into 60 litre plastic bags. Samples were kept dry by maintaining enough air pressure to exclude ground water inflow. If water ingress exceeded the air pressure, RC drilling was stopped, and drilling converted to diamond core tails. Once collected, RC samples were riffle split through a three-tier splitter to yield a 12.5% representative sample for submission to the analytical laboratory. The residual 87.5% sample were stored at the drill site until assay results were received and validated. Coarse reject samples for all mineralized samples corresponding to significant intervals are retained and stored on site at the Company controlled core yard.
