Sylla Gold Commences Drilling Program on Its Niaouleni Gold Project
Sylla Gold Commences Drilling Program on Its
Niaouleni Gold Project
Bedford, Nova Scotia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 25, 2022) -
Sylla Gold Corp.
(
TSXV: SYG
)
("
Sylla
" or
the "
Company
")
is pleased to announce that reverse circulation (RC) drilling operations have recently
commenced on its Niaouleni Gold Project ("
Niaouleni
"), located in southern Mali (
Figure 1
).
During the past month, meetings were held in Bamako, Mali with Touba Mining Consultants and the
technical team to design the RC drilling program and determine sampling, laboratory analyses, and
QAQC protocols. In addition, a site visit to the Niaouleni project area was undertaken to confirm exact
drill site locations. Drilling access roads and drilling sites have been constructed, in addition to a field
crew camp, to support drilling and logging/sampling activities.
The purpose of the Niaouleni Project RC drilling program is to:
Confirm previously defined wide zones of high-grade gold mineralization intersected in historical
drilling programs completed by previous operators.
Define the structural characteristics of the interpreted Kobada Shear extension on the property;
and
Test extensive termite mound and soil anomalies that lie on strike from the adjacent Kobada
deposit owned by African Gold Group and in other areas of the property.
The drilling program is comprised of approximately 4,000 m of RC drilling followed by 11,000 m of air
core (AC) drilling along several drill fences. In addition, further drilling is planned pending access during
the rainy season in Mali, which commences in June and ends in October.
The RC component of the drilling program has been designed to expand upon previously identified
mineralization within the interpreted Kobada Shear Zone. AC drilling will target historical soil and termite
mound geochemical anomalies, which have not been previously drilled and potentially define the
structural setting of the interpreted Kobada and Gosso shear extensions within the Niaouleni Property
(
Figure 2
).
Regan Isenor, President and CEO of Sylla commented, "
We're in a great position to build off previous
drilling at Niaouleni that identified numerous zones of high-grade mineralization on strike of the
Kobada deposit. Our team has a lot of experience in the general area, and they've put a great drilling
plan in place that reflects their past successes in an effort to rapidly expand the Niaouleni deposit on
the property."
Niaouleni Project
The Niaouleni Project is 92 square km in size and accessible by paved highway and includes extensive
artisanal mining activity within the interpreted extensions of gold bearing structures. Past exploration at
Niaouleni includes extensive termite mound and soil geochemistry surveys, and reverse circulation (RC)
and diamond drilling that have identified several structural gold-bearing zones that appear to extend from
the adjacent Kobada gold deposit. The Kobada gold deposit is situated approximately 3 km north of the
northern limit of the Niaouleni exploration licence. Historical exploration and drilling results were
compiled by Sylla into a digital database and interpreted for the purposes of designing an RC and AC
drilling program to further test these interpreted structural gold-bearing zones and possibly extend them
further into the project area.
Further information on the Niaouleni Gold Project is available in the Company's NI 43-101 technical
report on the Niaouleni Project with an effective date of September 28, 2021, and available on the

Cautionary Statements and Data Verification
This news release contains scientific and technical information with respect to adjacent or similar
mineral properties to the Niaouleni Project, which the Company has no interest in or rights to explore.
Readers are cautioned that information regarding mineral resources, geology, and mineralization on
adjacent or similar properties is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on the Niaouleni Project.
A Qualified Person has verified the historical information disclosed in this news release including any
sampling, analytical, and test results underlying this information, including reviewing the geological
information and exploration results disclosed in historical reports from previous operators of the Project,
and NI 43-101 technical reports. Based on a recent review and data verification of this compiled
historical information it appears drilling, surface exploration, and analytical results by previous operators
on the Project were completed using mining industry best practices and QAQC protocols at the time.
The historical scientific and technical information disclosed in this news release provides an indication of
the exploration potential of the Project but may not be representative of expected results once the
Company completes its own drilling programs on the Project.
Qualified Person Statement
