| Thursday, August 23, 2007 Amera Earns 51% Interest In Mogote Copper-Gold Project, Argentina
|
|
Amera Resources Corporation (AMS-TSX.V) is pleased to announce that the Company has earned a 51% interest in the Mogote copper-gold project, located in San Juan Province, Argentina. Under the terms of the option agreement, Amera completed the necessary work expenditures and issued the required shares to Golden Arrow Resources Corporation and has exercised its option to earn its 51% interest in Mogote.
On the Mogote project, drilling by Amera has confirmed the presence of a large copper gold porphyry system on the project. Mogote demonstrates many attributes of a classic Andean-type copper-gold porphyry system and is located within a region characterized by some of the world's largest examples of copper-gold porphyry deposits and high sulphidation epithermal gold-silver deposits.
"We are very excited to be majority owners of this very impressive project," stated Nikolaos Cacos, President and CEO. "Mogote hosts excellent potential for a world-class copper-gold discovery."
Mogote is situated 70 kilometres north of Barrick Gold Corp.'s large Pascua/Veladero gold discoveries (resources of 38 million ounces gold and 750 million ounces silver) and 11 kilometres east of Xstrata plc's El Morro copper-gold discovery (inferred resources of 7.4 million ounces gold, 6.2 billion pounds copper). Barrick's 23 million ounce Cerro Casale gold-copper discovery is located 50 km to the north.
Amera Resources Corporation is a metals exploration company focused on the Americas. The Company has three drill-ready projects in Peru; is advancing others to the drill stage; and, is fully funded to carry-out its exploration programs. Amera is constantly evaluating new opportunities through management's network of contacts in the resource sector. The Company is committed to growth and adding shareholder value through precious and base metal discoveries.
