Sarama’s President, CEO & MD, Andrew Dinning commented:
Sarama is delighted to have attracted the support of several high quality domestic and international institutional and sophisticated investors who have joined our existing shareholders and so enthusiastically backed our plans to grow and exploit the multi-million ounce Sanutura Gold Project. Burkina Faso is well-known to the Australian market for its prospective greenstone belts which have frequently delivered multi-million ounce discoveries in recent times, leading to the development of a new generation of highly profitable mines.
The Company has planned a large scale, +50,000m drill program to grow the Mineral Resource at the Sanutura Project which will be the first major drill campaign conducted at the Project since 2017 and will produce strong news flow over the coming months.
The Company’s ASX listing and associated equity raising was an essential precursor to re-activating the Project and with that completed, we now look forward to advancing the Project, initially focusing on drilling the resource growth-oriented targets which offer immediate opportunity for value accretion.”
Project Portfolio – Multi Project Exposure in Burkina Faso
Sarama is a West African-focused gold explorer/developer and holds a commanding land position of approximately 1,900km² across two 100%-owned projects in highly prospective Houndé and Banfora Belts in Burkina Faso.
The Company’s flagship Sanutura Project has an existing multi-million ounce Mineral Resource of 0.6Moz Au (Indicated) plus 2.3Moz Au (Inferred)(1) with significant growth potential available from its position along 70km of strike in one of the most prolific gold belts in West Africa, the Houndé Belt.
Burkina Faso is a well-established jurisdiction for gold explorer/developers with 12 gold mines in operation and development combining to achieve a total gold production of +2Moz in 2021. A summary of the Company’s projects is presented in Figure 1.


Sanutura Project – Material Resource Foundation with Significant Exploration Upside
The Company’s primary focus is its 100%-owned(4) Sanutura Project, which hosts a large Mineral Resource and covers an area of 1,420km2 . The Project lies 60km south of Endeavour Mining’s Houndé Mine (5Moz Au); 120km south of Fortuna Silver’s high-grade Yaramoko Mine (1Moz), and 140km south of Endeavour Mining’s Mana Mine (5Moz), highlighting the significant gold endowment of the Houndé Belt.

Significant brownfields and greenfields potential remain at the Project, with over 30 compelling exploration focus areas currently identified across the key Tankoro and Bondi Deposits. A +50,000m drill program is planned, with the objective of testing high-probability targets, predominantly in near-surface oxide material and proximal to the current Mineral Resource. This will be the first major drill program at the Project in 5 years and it is anticipated that it will deliver meaningful increases to the Mineral Resource through an update in 2023

Chris Blasi: Gold's Price Move is Real, Long-awaited Returns Coming

The gold price has risen to historic highs, but some market participants still aren't sure if the move will stick.

Chris Blasi, president of Neptune Global, shared data that he believes validates the yellow metal's uptick and confirms that it has much further to run. In his view, gold is in the third leg of a secular bull market that began in 2001.

"This leg is going to show the returns that a lot of people in this community of precious metals investors have been expecting for over a decade," he told the Investing News Network in an interview.

Strategy-Driven Barrick Builds on Value Foundation

Five years after the transformational Merger with Randgold Resources, Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD)(TSX:ABX) has been restructured and repurposed as a modern mining business with a constantly replenished, global asset base of peerless quality, managed by a team with an unparalleled record of recognizing and realizing opportunities, says chairman John Thornton in the company's 2024 Information Circular published today and available now at www.barrick.comagm and also filed on SEDAR+ ( www.sedarplus.ca ) and EDGAR ( www.sec.gov ).

"This Barrick is guided by a long-term, future-facing strategy, finely attuned to the demands and expectations of a rapidly changing world.

Barrick's pioneering partnership philosophy, a key component of its commitment to sustainability, has already transformed the once-derelict Tanzanian mines into a complex with Tier One 1 potential; reconstituted the Reko Diq project in Pakistan and is now developing it into one of the world's largest copper-gold producers; and after three years of negotiation, achieved an agreement for the re-opening of the Porgera gold mine in Papua New Guinea, where mining and processing have restarted and will be ramping up over the next two quarters," he says.

Goldman Sachs Bullish on Commodities, Shares 2024 Price Calls for Gold and Copper

Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) is maintaining its bullish stance on commodities as they continue to enjoy strong cyclical and structural support, and as the US and Europe move closer to cutting interest rates.

The American investment bank said it sees raw materials potentially returning 15 percent in 2024.

“We find that US rate cuts in non-recessionary environments lead to higher commodity prices, with the biggest boost to metals (copper and gold in particular), followed by crude oil,” Bloomberg quotes analysts Samantha Dart and Daan Struyven as saying in a note this past Sunday (March 24). “Importantly, the positive impact on prices tends to increase with time, as the growth impulse from looser financial conditions filters through.”
