Southern Mali
Delta, British Columbia, December 15, 2020 Desert G old Ventures Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX.V: DAU,
FF: QXR2, OTC: DAUGF) is pleased to announce that its joint venture partner, Indigo Exploration, has begun
its work program at the Djimbala gold project in so uthern Mali, West Africa, 220 km south of the capit al of
Bamako. Work crews are now in the field at Djimbala. The phase 1 program will consist of 623 auger drill holes
focused on the two highest priority targets, Djilef ing and Forela, with the aim to prioritize targets prior to a
phase 2 air core (AC) drilling program.
The Djilefing target covers 2.5 kilometres by 2 kilometres of artisanal workings that indicate at least 3, northly-
to northeast-oriented trends of gold mineralization. Some 300m north of the permit, along a northerly extension
of the Djilefing target, previous drill holes returned 2.59 g/t Au over 6m. As well, the 1.5 kilometre long, north-
trending Forela target area, also aligns with drill ing 300m north of the Djimbala Permit that returned drill
intercepts of 4.75 g/t Au over 6m, 3.13 g/t Au over 6m and 2.45 g/t Au over 8m (See Figure 1).
The Djimbala Permit is situated in the Yanfolila Go ld Belt and is surrounded by a significant number o f gold
deposits, mines and prospecting permits. The Djimba la Permit lies immediately east of Hummingbird
Resources’ 0.7 million oz Au Komana gold mine 1, 21 kilometres north, along strike, of the Kodieran gold mine
and 28 kilometres north, along strike, from Endeavo ur’s high grade 3.3 million oz Au Kalana project 2 (See
