Bullman Minerals Inc. (TSX.V: BUL) is pleased to announce the results of its first drill program on the Siguiri Gold Project located in northeast Guinea, West Africa. The program started the last week of November 2013 and was completed the first week of March 2014. The 55 hole program comprised 2,220 m of diamond drilling (DD) and 7,655 m of reverse circulation (RC) drilling. Results from this program along with historic drilling (37,325 m) will be used to complete an independent NI43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate later in 2014.

Highlights

  • Selected intersections from four deposits hosted along a 16 km shear zone are:
    • Shawn deposit – 45.5 m grading 2.44 g/t gold (SDD13-009) and 46.2 m grading 1.90 g/t gold (SDD14-012),
    • Fadiougoula deposit – 21.0 m grading 1.27 g/t gold (SRC13-310),
    • FK deposit – 9.0 m grading 2.68 g/t gold (SRC13-297), and
    • Tinko deposit – 17.0 m grading 0.97 g/t gold (SRC13-319),
  • The drill program confirmed and extended the near surface gold mineralization intersected in historic drill programs and exposed in artisanal pits.
  • Twin diamond drill holes of three historic RC holes returned similar intervals and grades as the historic RC holes.
  • The twin holes along with the historic QA-QC program have verified the quality of the historic database.
  • Near surface gold mineralization is amenable to open pit extraction and heap leach processing similar to the nearby SAG mine located 30 km to the west, however additional testwork is required to confirm this mining and processing scenario.

The Siguiri Gold Project covers a 248 square km area and is comprised of three exploration permits organized into two concession blocks, a North Block comprised of two permits and a South Block comprised of a single permit. The project is underlain predominantly by fine grained sedimentary rocks comprised of siltstone, argillite and immature sandstones. A north to northeast striking shear zone that is over 60 km long extends across both the North and South Block, and is host to gold mineralization exposed in artisanal pits and intersected at depth in drill holes.

In the North Block, four deposits from north to south (FK, Tinko, Shawn and Fadiougoula) are hosted along part (>16 km) of this shear zone and were the focus of the historic and recently completed drill programs (Table 1). The FK, Tinko and Fadiougoula deposits have been drilled on east-west fences spaced 200 m apart with 50 m collar spacing along the fences, whereas the Shawn deposit has been drilled on fences spaced 100 m apart and similar 50 m collar spacing. Most of the holes were angle holes (-50 to -60°) drill towards the west to approximately 150 m vertically below surface; several diamond drill holes were drilled to 200 to 250 m below surface. Gold mineralization is associated with moderately developed quartz stockworks and sheeted veinlets that have been oxidized to depths varying from 40 to over 100 m below surface. Additional infill drilling is required to outline the higher grade “shoots” within the extensive mineralized zones outlined to date. The mineralization is open at depth and to the south where the shear zone hosting the gold mineralization on the North Block permit extends onto the South Block permit. The South Block permit has seen limited exploration (shallow air core drilling) to date, but has extensive artisanal workings coincident with the projection of the shear zone.
