Nexus Gold – West Africa

The West Africa portfolio consists of five projects in various stages of development (over 750 square kilometers of ground) in Burkina Faso, a gold-rich country that features dozens of producing mines operated by some of the world’s largest gold companies.

The Nexus flagship project in Burkina Faso is the Bouboulou Gold Concession, a 38.8 sq-km (3,800+ hectares) advanced stage exploration project.  Historic drilling by Roxgold Inc., and more recently by Nexus, has established no less than five mineralized zones with significant gold intercepts of both length and grade. Nexus plans on additional drill programs with the goal of establishing a maiden resource.

The 100%-owned Dakouli 2 Gold Project is a 98-sq km concession with abundant and active artisanal workings.  Initial sampling programs have returned several high-grade assays with the presence of coarse, nuggety, visible gold.

The 100%-owned 190.53 sq-km (19,053-hectare) Manzour-Dayere gold exploration permit is located on the Boromo Greenstone belt, 325 km south west of the capital city of Ouagadougou, near the Ghana border.  Historical exploration has produced high-grade sampling results.

Recently the company optioned it’s 250-sq km Rakounga Gold Concession to Kruger Gold, who in turn were acquired by Arbor Metals.  The option agreement calls for $1M CDN in payments to Nexus and $1.25M CDN in work commitments over four years to earn a 75% interest in the project.
