Fortuna Mining Corp. has delivered exciting news from its Séguéla Mine in Côte d'Ivoire, announcing spectacular high-grade gold intercepts that are redefining the potential of the Sunbird deposit. The latest drilling results reveal the discovery of a second mineralized shoot, signaling significant expansion opportunities for the growing operation.
Exceptional assay results from the ongoing exploration program include an impressive intersection of 7.3 grams per tonne gold over 16.1 meters, demonstrating the rich mineral endowment of the Sunbird deposit. This high-grade intercept represents one of the most promising findings to date at the West African project.
The newly identified underground shoot, located parallel to the known mineralization, opens up substantial additional mining potential. Geological modeling indicates consistent mineralization patterns that suggest both shoots could contribute significantly to the mine's resource base and future production profile.
Exploration success continues to drive value at Séguéla, with multiple drill holes returning economically significant gold values. The systematic approach to targeting has proven highly effective, with the latest results confirming the robustness of the mineralized system.
Company geologists note that the continuity of high-grade zones between drill holes provides strong confidence in the geological interpretation. The consistent mineralization patterns across the deposit suggest excellent potential for resource expansion and mine life extension.
With these latest results, Fortuna reinforces Séguéla's position as one of West Africa's most promising new gold mines. The discovery of additional mineralized shoots underscores the district-scale potential of the property and the opportunity for ongoing resource growth.
