Fandou Zone
The Fandou Zone is located at the
south-western extremity of Wili-Wili, on the border of the Wili-Wili West
permit. It is characterized by a strong gold anomaly measuring 2.8km x 600m. At the centre of this anomaly, in the northern section, pits samples
returned strong gold grades. An east-west trench, cut in the Fandou Zone graded
13m at 2.29g/t Au and two pits dug out on this trench returned interesting
values.
The IP resistivity geophysical survey over Fandou shows 4 well-developed resistivity axis oriented N0° in an area wedged between a very resistive homogenous zone oriented N15° to the west, and a very conductive homogenous zone oriented N0° to the east.
These 4 resistivity axis coincide with the Au-As anomaly discovered in June 2006. The resistivity axis N° 1 coincides in the Northern part with the N° 1 trench that returned 2,29g/t Au over 13m and where 5 pits had returned grades between 3 and 12g/t Au over 9m.

In hole WR 139,
interval 92–114m intersected 4,20g/t Au over 22m, that is 12m at
3.61g/t between 92–104m, followed by 9m at 5.37g/t, between 105 and
114m. Note that this hole ended in mineralization. We can probably expect mineralization to continue below metre 115.
Drilling on Mamoudouya did not return significant results.Conclusions on the program
The goal for this drilling program was to better define and to enlarge
the known mineralized zone on surface and at depth.
The results of this
first drilling program on Fandou are very encouraging. Almost all the holes
intersected gold mineralization and drilling has defined a mineralized zone
stretching over 700m from north to south.
Recent development: Robex intersects on surface the Wili-Wili mineralized zone
In March 2008, surface work has exposed and located on surface, the high grade mineralized zone
intersected in drill hole WR-139, that is 4.2g/t over 22m.
The data
collected seems to confirm that mineralization on the Fandou
zone, Wili-Wili property, is vertical and continuous. This work will
allow Robex to plan infill drilling to begin resource definition.
The digging of 14 pits averaging 10m in depth, indicates that mineralization is
sub-vertical with an 80-degree east inclination. The spacing of the
pits, the estimated inclination and the fact that the intersection in
hole WR-139 is at least 22 metres wide (hole stopped in mineralization)
allows us to assume that the real width of mineralization in that
section would be about 12 metres wide.
