Bert Monro, CEO of Cora Gold, commented, "Farassaba III is one of four Cora permits that surround the operating 2Moz Yanfolila Gold Mine.  The permits range from only 8km from the processing plant up to around 30km away so are within possible trucking distances if economic discoveries are proven on the permits.  Cora has had some exciting drill results across this portfolio of permits and looks forward to completing further exploration on the ground during 2021."
