Sylla Gold Intersects 25 m of 2.13 gpt Gold at Niaouleni
Sylla Gold Intersects 25 m of 2.13 gpt Gold at
Niaouleni
Bedford, Nova Scotia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 13, 2022) -
Sylla Gold Corp. (TSXV: SYG)
("Sylla Gold" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce additional positive gold assay results from
the remaining
39 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes totalling 4,717 m completed on the Niaouleni South,
Lebre Plateau and Kankou Moussa prospects along the Kobada Shear and at Gouingouindougou,
located on the Gosso Shear, all within the Company's Niaouleni Gold Project ("Niaouleni") in Southern
Mali (
Figure 1
).
Assay results are still pending for 212 regional air core (AC) holes totalling 10,600 m. Drilling was
temporarily shut down on July 14 due to the start of the rainy season in southern Mali. The drill remains
on site with drilling activities to recommence after the rainy season has ended. For previously released
assay results from RC holes NSRC22-001 - 018 please refer to the Company's news release dated
August 29, 2022.
Drilling Highlights:
2.13 g/t Au over 25 m
from drill hole NSRC22-027
including
21.4 g/t Au
over 1 m
and 5.05 g/t Au over 5m
including
12.2 g/t Au
over 2 m
and 1.47 g/t Au over 33 m
including
4.35 g/t Au
over 4 m
1.57 g/t Au over 15 m
from drill hole NSRC22-029
and 2.88 g/t Au over 17 m
including
8.94 g/t Au
over 4 m
1.90 g/t Au over 20 m
from drill hole NSRC22-031
including
19.7 g/t Au
over 1 m
1.84 g/t Au over 14 m
from drill hole NSRC22-035
and 1.83 g/t Au over 13 m
1.87 g/t Au over 17 m
from drill hole NSRC22-042
including

A summary of significant gold assay intercepts of these holes is shown in
Table 1
and collar locations
and depths for RC drill holes NSRC22-019 to NSRC22-057 are shown in
Table 2
.
Regan Isenor, President and CEO of Sylla, commented, "
Our work at Niaouleni continues to build on
our original hypothesis that this property has the ability to host multiple near surface gold deposits on
the Kobada and Gosso shears. The RC program has been successful in identifying gold grades over
significant widths in 48 of 57 holes drilled, suggesting the potential to host significant gold
mineralization. We are especially pleased with the results from hole NSRC22-035 which extend the
gold mineralization due south of the main area of drilling, appearing to confirm the presence of a
dilational jog along the regional structure. In addition, the mineralization outlined at Lebre Plateau and
Kankou Moussa prospects speaks to the potential gold endowment of the Kobada structure as a
whole."
Drilling was carried out to further test the Niaouleni South, Lebre Plateau and Kankou Moussa
prospects, all of which lie along the Kobada Shear which hosts the adjacent Toubani Resources'
Kobada deposit that lies approximately 6 km north of the Niaouleni Project. In addition, 5 RC holes were
drilled at Gouingouindougou prospect which is located in the southern end of the license area on the
extension of the Gosso shear (Figure 1).

Technical Overview of RC Drilling Program
The purpose of the Niaouleni Project RC drilling program is to:
Continue 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 both on strike from the adjacent Kobada
deposit owned by Toubani Resources and in other areas of the property.
All gold-bearing intersections are hosted in metasedimentary saprolite with quartz veins / veinlets. An
east-west trending (barren) mafic dyke cuts across the mineralized corridor at about local grid line 1281
380N.
Geological interpretation for these drill holes is still very preliminary. A potential dilational flexure
rendering the Niaouleni South trend close to N-S, compared to the NNE regional structural trend is
interpreted. Inside this flexure, the highest grades appear to be hosted in E-W vein / veinlet clusters. 3D
geological modelling has been started in an attempt to define N-S and E-W mineralization domains
within the N-S trending mineralized corridor.
Figure 2
shows the locations of the 2022 drilling at the property scale.
Figure 3
shows the locations and highlights of the 2022 RC drilling at Niaouleni South.
Figure 4
shows the cross-section at 543690E including NSRC22-027 and NSRC22-029, both
drilled at N160 to test for east-west quartz vein / veinlet clusters within the structural corridor.
Figure 5
shows these east-west quartz vein / veinlet clusters in an area of artisanal mining.
