Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Pelangio Exploration Inc. (PX:TSX-V; OTC PINK:PGXPF) (“Pelangio” or the “Company”) announces results from the diamond drill program underway at the Manfo Project in Ghana, West Africa. The area of focus was the Nkansu zone to follow up on previous drilling, including holes, SGRC-322 which intersected 49.5 metres at 1.18 g/t Au and SGRC-332 which intersected 42 metres at 1.00 g/t Au.

 

Nkansu

 

The Nkansu area is located 2.5 kilometres (“km”) to the south west of the Pokukrom East deposit. Nkansu was discovered in November 2011, after a single drill hole tested a two point, 40ppb (very weak) gold in soil anomaly, coincident with an interpreted structure from airborne magnetic data. The area is approximately 1100 metres (“m”) north-south by 800 m east-west.

 

At Nkansu the down-plunge drilling followed up on two RC holes drilled in 2013:

 

• SGRC-322 (49.5m at 1.18 g/t from 54.8m to hole bottom at 104.3m)⁽¹⁾

 

• SGRC-332 (42m at 1.00 g/t from 95.5m to 137.5m)⁽²⁾

 

Three diamond holes were completed. Drill SGDD-18-01 was approximately 57m down plunge from intercepts in SGRC-322 & SGRC-332, SGDD-18-02 and SG-DD-03 were approximately 165m down plunge of SGRC-322& SGRC-332.

 

⁽¹⁾ Drill Hole SGRC-322 was announced in a Pelangio press release May 8, 2014

 

⁽²⁾ Drill Hole SGRC-332 was announced in a Pelangio press release March 2, 2015

 

Results from the Nkansu diamond drilling, showed that Nkansu mineralization down-plunge is dominated by lower-grade, hematite- style alteration.

Results from the two holes remaining in this program at Pokukrom East and Nkansu North will be released once the assay results have been received and interpreted.

 

Further exploration is planned for future programs to be conducted on extensions to known mineralization near Pokukrom East and West, Nfante East and Sika North. In addition, two untested (500m long) soil anomalies at Bomfa, in the north part of the project remain. Additional follow up also remains to be completed on eight untested IP targets on the nine-kilometre trend to the east as well as parallel structures to the west.

 

Dormaa

 

The ongoing engagement program with the traditional authorities and the appropriate government officials has been successful. The Paramount Chief of the Dormaa Traditional Council has approved the commencement of the drill program on the Dormaa property. Pelangio is pleased to have the endorsement and approval from the communities to begin the planned air-core drill program at the Dormaa property.

 

RosCan Minerals Corporation has the right to earn a 50% interest in the 86 sq km concession located in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana by paying a total of $260,000, ($10,000 of which has been received) and funding a total of $2,000,000 of exploration to be completed by Pelangio, ($300,000 of which has been received).

 

The combined assay results from 2012 and 2017 for gold-in soil geochemical programs returned gold-in soil values ranging from < 2 parts per billion (“ppb”) to 2710 ppb. The gold responses from the 2017 geochemical program continued to show high coherence with initial anomalies established in the 2012 geochemical program. The soil program covering the entire property identified about 20 anomalies from 200m to one (1) km in length. A significant number of these anomalies are located in the western portion of the property. A detailed interpretation of the soil data, defined two significant gold geochemical anomalies with lengths of 4.8 km and 7.2 km.

 

With the endorsement of the communities, Pelangio will begin preparation and mobilization of Grasshopper drill rig to the Dormaa property, for the commencement of the 1,000 to 1,250 metre drill program comprising 30 to 40 holes of air core drilling. Drilling is expected to commence in the latter part of May.

 

Quality Assurance, Quality Control and Qualified Person

 

The drill holes reported in this press release were drilled using HQ (63.5 mm) and NQ (47.6 mm) sized diamond drill bits. Company security is provided at the drill site. Contractors working for Pelangio conducted all logging and sampling. The core was logged, marked up for sampling using standard lengths of approximately one metre, then divided into equal halves using a diamond saw. One half of the core was left in the original core box and stored in a secure location at the Pelangio compound in Tepa, Ghana. The other half was sampled, placed into sealed bags and securely stored at the site until it was shipped to Intertek Minerals Limited (Intertek), laboratory in Tarkwa, Ghana. The core was dried and crushed by Intertek and a 150 gram pulp was prepared from the coarse crushed material. Intertek conducted routine gold analysis using a 50 gram charge and fire assaying with atomic absorption finish. Quality control procedures included the systematic insertion of blanks, duplicates and sample standards into the sample stream at the rate of one per every 20 samples. In addition, Intertek inserted one preparation blank and a certified reference sample in for every 20 samples and ran one duplicate analysis every 20 samples.

 

The exploration program at the Manfo Property is overseen by Warren Bates, P. Geo. (Ontario), a Qualified Person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Bates has verified and approved the data disclosed in this release, including the sampling, analytical and test data underlying the information.
