Indigo Exploration Inc. Reacquires Kodyel Permit Area under New Hantoukoura Permit in
Burkina Faso
June 20, 2017 – Vancouver, British Columbia. Indigo Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: IXI, FSE: INE) is
pleased to announce that it has reacquired the full original Kodyel permit area via the granting
of the new Hantoukoura permit from the Minist er of Mines of Burkina Faso. The Hantoukoura
permit, covering 238 square kilometres, is va lid for three years and renewable for up to 6
additional years. The Kodyel permit was the Comp any’s flagship permit located near the Niger
border but the Company had been denied access to the full area of the permit due to a border
dispute, which has now been resolved. The restricted access through the term of the Kodyel
permit justified a new permit.
The new Hantoukoura permit (as was the former Kodyel permit) lies close to the Niger border
approximately 300km east of Ouagadougou. Access is by paved and laterite roads. The
Hantoukoura permit, covering an extension of the Fada N’Gourma greenstone belt, is traversed
by a regional northeast-trending fault that st retches from Ghana to Niger. There are several
artisanal workings within the permit includin g: the extensive Tangounga pit, Hantekoura
(CFA) and Kodyel 1.
Previously, the Company announced its rock and soil sampling results which are posted on the
Company’s website. The sampling work demonstrates a greater than 15 kilometre stretch of
favourable geology, multiple soil anomalies and artisanal workings between the Tangounga pit
(undrilled at this time) and the Kodyel 1 site drilled by Semafo in 1997. The east end of the
Company’s soil grid ended 2.5 kilometres short of the Tangounga pit, but will be extended over
the pit in its future work. On the grid, th e most significant soil anomaly measured 5.5
kilometres long by 600 metres wide, with values generally greater than 50 ppb Au.
“With such a long hiatus from our last work there, we are ecstatic to regain access to the site
with more certainty and with an adequate timefr ame to unlock its potential. We will resume
exploration once the summer rains abate”, says Paul Cowley, President.
On Behalf of the Board of Directors,

President and CEO
