Exploration Update - Nigeria
Panthera Resources Plc (AIM: PAT), the diversified gold exploration and development company with assets in West Africa and India, advises that the assay results for the recent drilling at Paimasa, Nigeria will be delayed while certain samples are subject to re-assay by accelerated cyanide leach (LeachWell).
The decision to re-assay many of the samples reflect anomalies between the fire assays and certain check assays that were performed with Leachwell. The Leachwell sample size is considerably larger and should provide a more reliable assay where there is a coarse gold fraction.
The details of the drilling campaign at Paimasa were announced by the Company on 1 December 2020. The interest in the project is held through the associated company, Moydow Holdings Limited.
