| ABSTRACT: | The Board of SolGold (AIM code: SOLG) is pleased to provide the final copper-gold assay results for the significantly mineralised portion of Hole 21 at the Company's Cascabel copper-gold porphyry project in Ecuador. The Cascabel Project is located on the gold-rich northern section of the prolific Andean Copper belt renowned as the production base for nearly half of the world's copper supply, (Figure 1). The project area hosts mineralisation of Eocene age, the same age as numerous Tier 1 deposits along the Andean Copper Belt in Chile and Peru to the south. The project base is located at Rocafuerte, in northern Ecuador, approximately three hours drive north of Quito, close to water, power supply and Pacific ports (Figure 2). SolGold holds an 85% interest in ENSA (Exploraciones Novomining S.A.) which holds 100% of the Cascabel tenement. Fifteen individual targets have been defined at Cascabel. SolGold has successfully drill tested four of the fifteen targets, being Alpala Central, Alpala Northwest, Hematite Hill (Hole 25), and Alpala Southeast (Hole 24) (Figure 3). The deposit at Alpala continues to grow with each new drill hole. Current drilling focuses on defining the geometry of the growing Alpala deposit, which is open in virtually all directions. Over 35,000m of drilling has been completed to date, and the arrival of Rigs 4, 5, 6 and 7 over the coming two quarters will see drill testing expanding to Alpala East, Alpala West, Trivinio and Aguinaga by mid-year. The drilling program is planned to expand to eight drilling rigs by year end, which will also see drill testing of the Tandayama-America prospect (Figure 4). SolGold now believes that several targets clustered within the Alpala area may coalesce. | |
