Enegex Accelerates RC Drilling at Gogo with Strong AC Gold Results at Tougbe

RC Drilling Commences at Gogo Targeting Three Key Zones

Enegex Limited (ASX:ENX) has mobilised a reverse circulation (RC) drill rig to the Gogo Project in Côte d’Ivoire, initiating a 3,000 to 3,500-metre program focused on three high-priority targets along the 5-kilometre Bonoubana trend. The program will run double shifts to expedite drilling, with results expected next month. The targets include extensions beneath artisanal workings at NE Bonoubana, a 900-metre under-cover gold anomaly defined by power auger drilling, and a broad quartz-veined felsic volcanic zone at S Bonoubana.

Aircore Drilling Validates Multiple Mineralised Zones at Tougbe Permit

Recent aircore (AC) drilling at the AW1 and Kalama Bave prospects on the Tougbe Permit has delivered encouraging gold intercepts, reinforcing the prospectivity of the area. The 19-hole AC program at AW1 returned notable results including 4 metres at 6.2 g/t Au from 8 metres and 12 metres at 1.68 g/t Au from 28 metres, with mineralisation often ending in fresh rock, suggesting continuity at depth. Additional AC drilling at Kalama Bave extended mineralisation to the limits of previous coverage, highlighted by 4 metres at 6.1 g/t Au from 32 metres.

Managing Director Paul Roberts emphasised the significance of these results, noting the confirmation of at least two mineralised zones of potential commercial interest within the Tougbe Permit. The company plans to follow up with deeper RC drilling at both AW1 and Kalama Bave in the coming months to better understand the geology and test mineralisation continuity.

Artisanal Mining and Historical Data Underpin Exploration Targets

The Gogo and Tougbe permits are situated within the Birimian geological belt, a prolific gold-producing region in West Africa. The presence of artisanal mining activity, including shafts reaching depths of up to 80 metres at NE Bonoubana, corroborates the existence of near-surface gold mineralisation. Historical rock chip samples from the area have yielded high-grade gold values, with peaks up to 92.6 g/t Au. The ongoing drilling program builds on previous exploration efforts, including power auger surveys that identified a 900-metre gold anomaly beneath alluvial cover.

This momentum follows earlier aircore campaigns that defined extensive gold mineralisation at Kalama Bave and identified the AW1 zone as a new focus for exploration, as documented in recent updates. The current RC drilling at Gogo aims to test these targets at depth and along strike, potentially advancing the projects towards resource definition. The company’s strategic focus on the Gogo-Tougbe permit group reflects the combined strength of soil anomalies, artisanal workings, and encouraging drill results. Kalama Bave drill target and New gold prospective zone have been previously highlighted as key pillars of this approach.

Stream Sediment Sampling Extends Regional Exploration

Complementing the drilling programs, Enegex has completed BLEG stream sediment sampling across its Toumodi and Dimbokro permits in southern Côte d’Ivoire. These programs target structural corridors analogous to those hosting significant gold deposits nearby, such as African Gold’s Blaffo Guetto deposit. Samples are en route to Bureau Veritas in Perth for analysis, with results anticipated to guide further exploration efforts.

Next Steps Focus on Deeper Drilling and Resource Definition

While the aircore results provide early optimism, the true test lies in the upcoming RC drilling campaigns. These will probe the down-dip extensions of mineralised zones and clarify the orientation and continuity of gold mineralisation, which remains uncertain at this stage. The company’s use of double-shift drilling underscores a commitment to rapid progress. Investors will be watching closely for assay results from the Gogo Bonoubana trend and follow-up RC programs at AW1 and Kalama Bave, which could materially influence the project’s valuation and development trajectory.
