Excellent gold recoveries confirm further potential at West African Resources Boulsa Gold Project Highlights Gold recoveries confirm CIL potential of the Mankarga 5 deposit, Boulsa Gold Project, Burkina Faso.

Gold recoveries of up to 98.5% and averaging 93.8% in direct cyanidation test work after 48 hours, at a grind size of 80% passing 100 microns.

Confirms mineralisation is non-refractory and amenable to conventional CIL processing.

Very low cyanide consumption average of 0.28kg/t.

Mankarga 5 deposit contains Indicated Resources (at a 1 g/t cut-off) estimated at 5.7 million tonnes at a grade of 1.7g/t gold containing 315,000 ounces gold; and Inferred Resources (at a 1 g/t cut-off) estimated at approximately 11.4 million tonnes grading 1.6 g/t gold containing 568,000 ounces gold (ASX: 14/4/14).

Scoping study for a low-cost heap leach starter project, targeting near term cash-flow from oxide material at the Mankarga 5 deposit, to be released later this month.

West African aims to be a +50,000oz per annum gold producer within two years, subject to study outcomes. West African Resources Limited (Perth, Australia ASX, TSXV: WAF) is pleased to report preliminary metallurgical test work results from the Mankarga 5 Deposit located on the Tanlouka Permit, part of its Boulsa Project, in Burkina Faso. Managing Director Richard Hyde commented on the metallurgical test work: "These excellent results confirm potential at depth following the heap leach starter project which will focus on generating cash flow from the oxide material of the Mankarga 5 deposit.

We look forward to reporting the results of the scoping study by the end of this month." Click here to view the full announcement
