Kiniero Grade Control Drilling Continues To Return High-Grade Gold Results
QUEBEC CITY, July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- West African gold producer and developer Robex Resources Inc (“Robex” or the “Company”) (ASX: RXR | TSX-V: RBX | OTC: RSRBF | Börse Frankfurt: RB4) is pleased to report results from the Mansounia grade control drilling for its Kiniero Gold Project in Guinea, West Africa. Robex is on track to deliver first gold at Kiniero in Q4 2025.
Highlights
- Robex has received initial results from the ongoing pre-production grade control drilling program at Mansounia.
- The program is designed to infill resource estimation drilling, enhancing geological confidence ahead of the planned first gold pour in Q4 2025.
- Drilling has targeted areas within the proposed open pit design, focusing on zones identified for early-stage mining.
- The majority of assays received to date are from the southwest portion of the Mansounia ore body, demonstrating strong mineral continuity.
- Significant intercepts from the drilling results include:
| 19m @ 2.10g/t Au from 23m in MGC25-10036 | 16m @ 2.84g/t Au from 27m in MGC25-10152 |
| 15m @ 2.42g/t Au from 18m in MGC25-10144 | 11m @ 3.27g/t Au from 8m in MGC25-10157 |
| 14m @ 11.40g/t Au from 9m in MGC25-10172 | 13m @ 2.02g/t Au from 20m in MGC25-10161 |
| 18m @ 2.49g/t Au from 14m in MGC25-10213 | 14m @ 2.71g/t Au from 4m in MGC25-10177 |
| 12m @ 2.71g/t Au from 33m in MGC25-10319 | 12m @ 2.25g/t Au from 11m in MGC25-10205 |
| 26m @ 2.09g/t Au from 32m in MGC25-10409 | 24m @ 2.90g/t Au from 16m in MGC25-10255 |
| 11m @ 3.35g/t Au from 11m in MGC25-10464 | 26m @ 2.06g/t Au from 16m in MGC25-10350 |
| 7m @ 9.24g/t Au from 4m in MGC25-20165 | 29m @ 2.35g/t Au from 5m in MGC25-10361 |
| 11m @ 3.03g/t Au from 35m in MGC25-10102 | 8m @ 11.03g/t Au from 25m in MGC25-10127 |
- Drilling at Mansounia is ongoing with 61,700 metres complete; further assays will be reported as they are received.
- On 9th July 2025, the Company secured an amendment to its US$130 million Facility Agreement with Sprott, releasing US$25 million from the Cash Sweep Account to fund construction of the Kiniero project. This is a positive development for the Company’s Guinean operations.
Robex’s Managing Director and CEO Matt Wilcox commented: “We are pleased to report strong gold grades from this round of grade control drilling which adds further confidence to the mining proposition at Mansounia. The mineralised zones and grades defined by our grade control programs are confirming our expectations of the Mansounia deposit.”
Mansounia Pre-Production Grade Control Drilling Program
Robex is undertaking a pre-production grade control drilling program at Mansounia to infill resource estimation drilling ahead of mining in Q4 2025. A total of 1605 inclined grade control drill holes for 66,000m have been designed to test and better delineate grade below the lateritic cap rock.
The drilling was designed to cover the initial three months of mining the Mansounia pit design area to depths of 30m to 50m. Figure 1 illustrates the overall site layout of the Kiniero Project, and Figure 2 illustrates the distribution of RC drillhole collars from the grade control program over the Mansounia Deposit (Phase 1), including both those with received assay results and those still pending. The assay results received to date are from the first 50% of the holes designed. The remainder of these holes will be completed and reported over the course of the rest of the year.
