Reverse Circulation Drilling On The Dakouli 2 Gold Project

VANCOUVER - Nexus Gold Corp. has engaged Forage Technic Eau (FTE) Drilling to conduct a minimum 3000 meters of Reverse Circulation (RC) Drilling on the company's 100% owned Dakouli 2 Gold Project, located 100 kilometers north of the capital of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, West Africa. The maiden Dakouli drill program, scheduled to commence late this month, will be testing depth extensions of geochemical gold anomalies identified through termite mound sampling, soil grid geochemistry that identified three anomalous gold trends crossing the property and finally rock geochemistry which has returned higher grade gold results from selective grab samples extracted from artisanal mining areas (Orpaillages).

"We're eager to conduct the first ever drill program at Dakouli," said president & CEO, Alex Klenman. "Dakouli offers a number of compelling attributes you like to see prior to drilling. Favorable geology and defined geochemical signatures, strong assay results from subsurface sampling, and a very active artisanal mining presence, all indicate the mineralization is abundant across this large main zone. It's basically ripe for discovery. This round of drilling will focus in this main area, but it's also worth noting there are several other hot spots across the nearly 10,000 hectares. The project has many layers to peel, we're excited to begin the next phase of more advanced exploration activities.”

The Dakouli 2 permit is located on the Goren greenstone belt, proximal to Nordgold's Bissa Mine, and is bisected by the gold bearing Sabce Shear zone. Ground reconnaissance and sampling has been ongoing at Dakouli 2 for over a year now. During this period, the Company collected 40 grab samples from below surface in artisanal shafts (pits).
