Trench/Track - Sampling on Rome’s La Colorada - Esmeralda, Sonora, Property-December 3, 2011

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec. 5, 2011 - This week, on the La Colorada – Esmeralda Gold Grid, geochemical sampling at approximately five meters intervals was completed on the bulldozer trenching/tracks related to the Esmeralda Mine (E trenches/tracks—see last week’s report for map locations) and the South Zone (S trenches/tracks). The following numbers of samples have been collected: trench/track E1 = 38 samples. E2 = 32 samples, E3 = 10 samples, E4 = 36 samples, E5 = 33 samples, S1 = 177 samples, and S2 = 177 samples. These samples will be systematically assayed for multiple elements with our in-house Niton XRF analyzer, and for gold and silver by Pioneer Laboratories in Richmond, BC, Canada. Analytical results will help to optimize the location of reverse circulation (RC) drill holes to be drilled early next year.

Trenching in the northern La Patria area on the La Colorada – Esmeralda Gold Grid is awaiting surface access permission from the rancher holding the surface rights. This work will await the New Year.

Next week, reject samples from the reverse circulation drilling on the Don Luis Property will be re-bagged and organized in San Miguel de Horcasitas. These samples are expected to be important in future metallurgical testing that will aid in estimation of the recovery of silver and gold by leaching and/or by other methods, including gravity separation. Alvarez and Godwin, both in Hermosillo in the state of Sonora, Mexico, will continue updating all data. Godwin will complete the logging of completed RC holes on the East and Central Zones of the Don Luis Property.
