Fortuna Mining reported first drilling results from the Kabewest prospect at its recently acquired Bambadji project in Senegal on Monday, with the headline hole returning 1.9 grams of gold per tonne over an estimated true width of 64 metres from 19 metres. Other holes included 3.2 grams per tonne over an estimated true width of 24 metres from surface and 3.1 grams per tonne over 24.2 metres from 4 metres. Kabewest is the most advanced drill-defined prospect at Bambadji and sits about 2.3 kilometres from the proposed plant site for the Diamba Sud gold project. The company said about 70 percent of assays had been received, and it plans a first inferred mineral resource estimate for Bambadji in the first quarter of 2027.
Fortuna intersects broad gold mineralisation at Kabewest in Senegal
Fortuna Mining's first drilling at the Kabewest prospect in Senegal returned 1.9 grams of gold per tonne over an estimated true width of 64 metres, the company reported on Monday.
Why it matters: Kabewest sits about 2.3 kilometres from the proposed plant site for Fortuna's Diamba Sud gold project, so a broad mineralised system there could extend that project's mine plan if later drilling holds up.
