First Quarter Results
Also today, Pelangio announces financial and operational results for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Financial reports and Management’s Discussion and Analysis are available on both the Company’s website (www.pelangio.com) and SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
Q1 2016 Operational Highlights
- Manfo - in preparation for drilling, a detailed interpretation continued on a laterite covered major structure identified in 2015 lying to the east of the currently explored structure
- Obuasi - technical review of exploration along a gold and arsenic in soil anomaly (the “NGA trend”) underway in preparation for further drilling
- Akroma - paper studies, including the use of satellite imagery, indicate that substantial galamsey (local artisanal mining) and unregulated mechanized alluvial operations surrounding the project were carried out during 2014-2015. These alluvial operations appear to be sourced by large gold-in-soil anomalies on the Pelangio Dormaa Concession
- Poirier - prepared a three dimensional geologic model using all available public data and a three dimensional magnetic inversion which indicates that the favourable structure hosting the Rusk and Gap zones dips into the Poirier property
