Sama Resources Inc has announced assay results for 15 holes drilled at the Company's Sipilou South nickel cobalt rich laterite deposit, as well as 17 holes drilled at both the Samapleu Main poly metallic deposit and Samapleu Extension 1 poly metallic deposit. All of these deposits are within the Samapleu exploration license located in western Cote d'Ivoire in Africa.
Assay results for 8 holes drilled at the Samapleu Main poly metallic deposit have been received. Although drilling on a 50 meter by 25 meters grid has been completed for the shallow part of the deposit, 2 additional holes will shortly be drilled at the deposit in order to accurately model the geometry of 1 of the main sulphide massive veins.
Assay results for 9 holes drilled at the newly discovered Samapleu Extension 1 poly metallic deposit have been received. The Samapleu Extension 1 poly metallic deposit is located 1.3 kilometers north of the Samapleu Main poly metallic deposit. Additional metallurgical tests are ongoing at Societe Generale de Surveillance of Vancouver, BC, in order to test the upgrading ability of the disseminated mineralized material prior to going for flotation.
In June 2011, the company started a 58 hole drill program of approximately 1,500 meters at its Sipilou South nickel cobalt rich laterite deposit, which is aimed at closing the drill spacing down to a grid of 200 meters by 200 meters. Assay results for 15 holes have been received. Several of the 15 holes were drilled to test the western boundary of the Sipilou South nickel cobalt rich laterite deposit. The remaining 35 holes are currently being drilled and results are expected in mid December 2011.
The Sipilou South nickel cobalt rich laterite deposit is located approximately 5 kilometers northeast of the Company's Samapleu Main and Samapleu Extension 1 nickel, copper and platinoids deposits.
Dr Marc Antoine Audet president & CEO of Sama said that "These results continue to expand the Company's potential for commodities, nickel copper sulphide, as well as surface nickel cobalt laterite. Our goal is to become the first poly metallic producer in the region alongside SODEMI (Societe pour le Developpement Minier de Cote d'Ivoire)."
