Cashed-up Australian explorer Exore Resources will step up the pace at the Boundiali and Korhogo gold projects in Cote d’Ivoire after the renewal of their exploration permits triggered its $A4.6M agreement to acquire an 80% stake from Apollo Consolidated.
Exore is already progressing a maiden 30,000m drilling program on several deposits, with first results due within weeks.
Apollo, which will receive 90M shares representing 19.4% of Exore, says the CdI projects will benefit from Exore’s focused exploration activity and leave it to focus on its Lake Rebecca gold project in Western Australia.
