Birimian Gold to announce capital raising details, granted trading halt

Birimian Gold (ASX: BGS) is focused on gold exploration in the highly prospective and resource rich West Africa region, and today the ASX granted the company a trading halt pending a capital raising announcement, with its shares placed in pre-open.

Birimian Gold has not yet indicated where the potential capital injection will be allocated, but the company earlier in the month announced a 12 kilometre long gold trend in Mali - which the company considers could be economic.

Results include the broad 46 metres at 0.48 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from 8 metres, which includes the higher grade zone of 12 metres at 1.00 g/t gold.

Other highlights were; 8 metres at 1.29g/t gold from 16 metres; and 16 metres at 0.56g/t gold from 28 metres.

Birimian Gold is set to move exploration of this major gold anomaly forward quickly, with a follow-up aircore drilling program planned to begin next month.

The halt will last until the earlier of an announcement being made to the market, or the opening of trade on Thursday 2 February.
