Compass Gold Begins Shallow Drilling Program at Massala Project in Mali to Evaluate Near-Surface Gold
Compass Gold has initiated a shallow drilling program at its Massala project in Mali, according to an announcement made on April 2, 2026. The program aims to evaluate near-surface gold mineralization across several high-priority targets identified during earlier exploration activities. This marks the latest phase of the company’s ongoing efforts to assess the potential of its extensive land holdings in the region.
The drilling initiative will focus on testing anomalies and structures that were previously highlighted through geochemical sampling and geophysical surveys. The company plans to conduct a series of shallow reverse circulation (RC) drill holes designed to confirm the presence and extent of gold mineralization near the surface. Officials stated that this approach aligns with their strategy of systematically advancing exploration projects while minimizing costs. Further updates regarding progress and results are expected as drilling operations proceed.
