Tietto Minerals Limited provided an update on its resources drilling in the immediate vicinities of its 3.45Moz Abujar Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa, as part of the Company's `Drill and Build' strategy. The Company continues to build its resource potential at Abujar in parallel with construction of its gold plant, which is fully funded with no debt and no gold hedging, and is on track for first gold in December 2022. Abujar gold plant construction is fully funded with no debt and zero gold hedging.

First gold on track for December 2022. The AGM Prospect with a 2.2km strike length is a southern extension of the AG Deposit. Limited drilling was carried out at the AGM Prospect prior to the April 2022 resources update.

Since then, Tietto has been carrying out 3600m of extensional diamond drilling. Resource growth is expected in the next Abujar resource update. Highgrade drilling intersections reported recently at AGM include: 1m @ 47.35 g/t Au from 258m (ZDD919, ASX 29/06/2022); 6m @ 2.66 g/t Au from 190m incl.

5m @ 3.02 g/t Au (ZDD921, ASX 29/06/2022); and 1m @ 27.91 g/t Au from 151m (ZDD1256, ASX 20/09/2022). The PGL Prospect is a 2,300m mineralized link that joins Madanou to the northeast with APG (0.96Moz at 0.7g/t) in the southwest. Tietto designed a 7,250m diamond drilling program and 5623m has been drilled to date.

Assay results reported recently included the following outstanding gold intercepts: 1m @ 25.14 g/t Au from 26m (ZDD1070, ASX 29/06/2022); 0.93m @ 17.67 g/t Au from 24m (ZDD933, ASX 29/06/2022); and 1m @ 10.28 g/t Au from 60m and 2m @ 3.85 g/t Au from 111m (ZDD947, ASX 29/06/2022). Tietto expects to report a maiden resource for PGL in the upcoming resources update. The PGL West Prospect is interpreted to occur within a pressure shadow adjacent to a late felsic granite and goldinsoil geochemical anomalies (>75ppb), are suggestive of PGL West representing a bending linkage structure from PGL towards the West Corridor of the Abujar gold system.

Tietto designed a maiden drilling program to test PGL West consisting of 4,985m of diamond holes. Initial drilling results received recently for the first three sections lines 800m apart included: ZDD1372: 13.5m @ 2.49 g/t Au from 78m including 7.5m @ 3.75g/t Au from 78m; ZDD1384: 15m @ 1.24g/t Au from 21m 5m @ 1.75 g/t Au from 50m. Tietto expects to define a maiden resource for the PGL West Prospect through infill drilling on 100m spaced lines.

The 2.7km long VingtDeux Prospect is part of the Western Corridor of the Abujar gold mineralization system. At VingtDeux, gold mineralization occurs along a pressure shadow related structure created at the contact between a diorite and a late granite. Tietto is targeting a highgrade shoot related to a crosscutting NEENE fault which can be identified in magnetic data from analytic signaling.

Tietto designed 3195m of diamond drilling for this first phase of resource definition drilling and two diamond rigs are currently operating on the VingtDeux on a 24/7 basis. Tietto completed scouting drilling on the 6km long Zoukpangbeu Prospect earlier this year with preliminary but encouraging results, which included: ZDD924A: 3m @ 2.11g/t from 187m and 3m @ 2.47g/t from 195m; and ZDD924: 7m @ 1.31g/t from 163m. Further drilling is planned for this significantly long zone of gold mineralization but currently awaits for rig availability.
