Borobon ProspectAn excellent start with the drilling by Orezone returning gold mineralisation with intersections including 14m at 3.79g/t gold in drill hole KSC033 and 13m at 2.43g/t gold in drill hole KSC032
Taruga’s first results highlight the continuity, parallel lodes and southern extensions with results including:
12m at 3.40g/t gold from 8m in drill hole TKRC005
4m at 2.19g/t gold from 48m &
4m at 4.68g/t gold from 64m in drill hole TKRC002
16m at 1.52/t gold from 12m &

Kossa ProspectLocated at the northern end of the Kossa-Borobon trend and contains multiple trends of artisanal workings with limited historic drill testing
Taruga recently completed first-pass drill testing with excellent results including:
4m at 35.52g/t gold from 44m in drill hole TKRC028
8m at 1.22g/t gold from 28m in drill hole TKRC031
These new results, in conjunction with previous high-grade gold intersections including 1m at 278.8g/t gold and1m at 10.0g/t gold define a trend extending for more than 1.7km strike length.
