Ginguro Samples 40.1 g/t Gold Along 22.5 Meters at Pardo 007 Zone
Ginguro Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GEG) (the "Company" or "GEG") is pleased to announce the first results from contiguous channel sampling of the recently discovered 007 Zone at the Company's Pardo property, located approximately 65 km northeast of Sudbury, Ontario.
The 007 Zone was found as a result of surface prospecting using Ginguro's unique exploration methodology developed over four years as pioneers in North American paleo-placer exploration. A total of 45 contiguous channel samples are reported herein. Each sample is 0.5m in length, such that the total length reported is 22.5m. Average gold content along this 22.5m is 40.1 g/t.
Individual samples ranged from 0.6 g/t to 172 g/t. All samples are summarized in a table at end of this press release and shown on a map available on the Company's website (www.ginguro.com).
The channel samples are contiguous over the surface of the mineralized conglomerates. As these surfaces have been glaciated, they are uneven in thickness, allowing the surface channels to sample varying depths within the sub-horizontal conglomerates. Due to the near flat lying nature of the gold-bearing conglomerates, it is not possible to cut channel samples across the bedding planes. The channel lengths reported in this release represent gold values within the pyritic conglomerate outcrop at surface and do not represent true thicknesses of the gold bearing conglomerate. The gold-bearing conglomerate is estimated to have a true thickness of approximately two meters in this area.
In addition to those samples detailed in the table below, an additional 82 samples representing 41 m of channel samples have been collected from the 007 Zone, with further sampling planned. The 007 Zone is located approximately 24m northeast of hole PD-10-107, which was drilled in 2010, did not intersect the pyritic conglomerate and is interpreted to have collared below the strike extension of the conglomerate reef exposed at the 007 Zone.
"The high grade nature of the 007 Zone suggests that it represents one of the main gold-enriched channels of an ancient river system," stated Ginguro President and CEO, Richard Murphy. "We look forward to tracing out these channels from both the 007 Zone and the Eastern Reef, as well as the search for the many other similar channels that we believe exist at Pardo."
The Company has uploaded a map of the 007 Zone on its website (www.ginguro.com), along with both a Pardo Property Geology map, which shows the discovery areas (the 007 Zone, the Eastern Reef, and Trench 2) relative to the rest of the Pardo property, and a detailed discovery areas map, which outlines the boundaries of the discovery area along with recent and historic drilling in the area.
At the Company's Eastern Reef, where initial samples yielded grades ranging from 1.1 g/t to 40.0 g/t (see press release dated August 15, 2013), more than 100m of additional channel samples have been cut and delivered to the lab, and additional channel cutting is ongoing. Eastern Reef results will be released when they become available.
