GALORE'S DOS SANTOS DRILL PROGRAM UNDERWAY
Galore Resources Inc.'s target date for the commencement of a 3,500-metre reverse-circulation drill program on its Dos Santos gold project in northern Zacatecas state, Mexico, has been met. Drilling on the northern claims of Galore's 14,000-hectare property commenced on July 1.
"After a year of preliminary exploration work on Dos Santos, we are excited to be drilling on this highly prospective project located in such an active and historic mining district," said president Michael Byrne. The Dos Santos project generated encouraging results earlier this year in a trenching program that yielded values up to 208 grams of gold per tonne over 0.5 metre.
The 100-per-cent-owned property is in the historic Concepcion del Oro mining district, 35 kilometres southeast of Goldcorp's massive Penasquito mine, and lies adjacent to the northern boundary of Canplats's recent Camino Rojo gold discovery.
ALS Laboratory Group has opened a new assay sample preparation facility in Zacatecas that will assist the company in generating timely and cost-effective assay results. The results are expected to be received throughout and following the course of the six-week drill program.
The Dos Santos exploration program is managed by Octavio Gonzalez, Galore's vice-president of exploration for Mexico. Uwe Schmidt, PGeo, vice-president, exploration, and Galore's qualified person as defined by Canada's National Instrument 43-101, is responsible for supervising the Dos Santos program and has verified the technical data in this release.
We seek Safe Harbor.
