Further High-Grade Drilling Results from Akoko Gold Project in Ghana
Hamak Strategy Limited (LSE: HAMA / OTCQB: HASTF), a Company combining advanced gold exploration in West Africa with a Digital Asset Treasury Management strategy, announces further high-grade Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drilling results from the Akoko oxide gold project in southwest Ghana.
Highlights
· Gold assays received for a further 7 shallow drill holes totalling 405m at Akoko
· Results include near surface, high-grade oxide gold intercepts of:
o 2.12g/t Au over 28m from 3m depth, including
§ 4.41g/t Au over 10m from 14m
o 1.57g/t Au over 14m from 16m depth, including
§ 3.15g/t over 3m from 19m depth, and
§ 2.34g/t Au over 4m from 26m depth
· Results continue to confirm geological model of near surface, oxide gold horizons
· Assay results from 29 of planed 38 holes at Akoko North received and reported to date
CEO and Executive Director Karl Smithson commented:
“Results from our drilling programme at the Akoko gold project continue to be very encouraging. The latest batch include further high-grade intersections that validate the geological model of near-surface oxide gold mineralization in the northern area of the Akoko licence. In particular, wide zones of 28m at 2.12g/t Au from 3m and 14m at 1.57g/t Au from 16m, are highly encouraging. Further drilling results will be announced as the programme continues.”
Current RC Drilling Programme
Drilling to date has been focussed on the Akoko North area, combining resource confirmation as well as condemnation drilling, with a total of 33 holes for 1,947 metres drilled to date. A further seven holes remain to be drilled in Akoko North before the drill rig is mobilised to commence drilling in the Akoko South licence where 36 RC holes for 1,940 m are planned, depending on accessibility due to increasing heavy rainfall in the region.
RC Drilling Assay Results
Assays have been received for a further seven holes from 405m of drilling, which have yielded notably wide, high-grade oxide gold intercepts, as shown in Table 1. These include 2.12g/t Au over 28m from 3m depth (hole 2026-021) and 1.57g/t Au over 14m from 16m depth (2026-051) respectively. These holes yielded higher-grade zones, including 4.41g/t over 10m in hole 2026-021 and 3.15g/t Au over 3m and 2.34g/t Au over 4m in hole 2026-051 (Figure 1).
