The company has planned this drill program to infill the deposit at a spacing of 50 m and the mineralized zone will be extended along the strike. These new results have expanded the Goulagou I deposit to 150 m additionally to the western part. The deposit stays exposed along the strike at depth and in both directions. Riverstone has expanded the mineralization to a distance of over 2,100 m on this deposit. The thickness of the mineralized zone differs from 50 m at the eastern end for up to 300 m in the west.
