West Africa

In November 2009, Vital entered into a farm in agreement with Ampella Mining Ltd to earn up to 80% of the Doulnia Gold Project in southern Burkina Faso, West Africa.

Vital has completed a comprehensive review of previous exploration and the regional to local geophysical, structural,geological and geochemical attributes of the Project.

A first phase drill program confirmed the highly prospective nature of the project in general and the Kollo Prospect in particular. Vital’s Phase 2 drilling program comprising 128 holes for over 11,000 meters, yielded a project best intercept of 4m at 58.03 g/t gold from 24m.

Vital is currently reviewing targets for the next phase of drilling. Importantly, Vital has achieved the first Earn-In milestone by spending  $1.5M to secure 60% ownership of this exciting early gold project.

Recognising the prospectivity of the landholding, Vital has also applied for two additional tenements in the region which is also prospective for base metals with VHMS zinc-rich mineralisation.
