Establishing Burkina Faso’s Next Gold District

Sarama Resources (TSX-V: SWA) is a West African gold explorer and developer focused on establishing a new mining district in Burkina Faso.

Sarama owns a 100% interest in the Sanutura Project, located approximately 350km southwest of Ouagadougou. The project area covers approximately 1,454km² of prospective greenstone terrane, hosts a growing resource including two major gold deposits and is Sarama’s lead project which is progressing towards development.

The Sanutura Project’s multi-million-ounce mineral resource will underwrite a long life, multi-faceted CIL mine development and recent exploration success has added significant value to the project.

The company has established a second promising exploration play, the 100%-owned Koumandara Project, which covers an area of approximately 600km² in the Banfora Belt. Sarama considers this area highly prospective, and early-stage exploration has defined several corridors of gold anomalism that extend up to 40km in length.

The company also holds a significant interest in the 0.7 Moz Au⁽³⁾ Karankasso Project JV which is proximal to the Sanutura Project and remains part of Sarama’s regional portfolio mix.

Sarama’s Board and management team have a proven track record in Africa and a strong history in the discovery and development of large-scale gold deposits. Sarama – a West African gold explorer and developer is well placed to build on its current success with a sound exploration and project development strategy across its property portfolio.

⁽³⁾The Tankoro Exploration Permit, which hosts the Tankoro Deposit, is undergoing a process with the Government of Burkina Faso where it is required it be re-issued as a new full-term exploration permit and the Company continues to work with the relevant government departments to progress the re-issue of the exploration permit. The Company remains optimistic of a satisfactory outcome, however timeframe for the permit re-issue is indeterminate.  Sarama has previously had a number of exploration permits re-issued, however there is no assurance of the timing and prospects for the re-issuance of the exploration permit.  As a matter of practice, the application for re-issue is typically granted providing work done by the holder is significant and the application is submitted in a timely manner, with both conditions being satisfied by Sarama.
