ROMARCO'S PLANS
DRILL PROGRAM AT PINOS GOLD DISTRICT
ROMARCO MINERALS
INC. (TSXV: R) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed
its Pinos Gold District underground sampling
program.� Over the past year the Company
has taken in excess of 800 vein samples on various mine levels ranging from 30
to 128 meters below the surface on three known vein systems (Cinco Estrellas, La Paz and San
Ramon-Purisima).�
These sample results, combined with the geologic mapping of surface
exposures and the underground workings provided a digital composite surface and
mine geologic map, that has generated high priority targets on the project site.
The Company has
noted that the Cinco Estrellas
vein system has the most significant widths (two to six meters). The trace
element analyses completed to date indicate it is high in the hydrothermal
boiling zone and that this system has gold-bearing intervals much deeper than
have been tested to date.� In the San
Luis mine, gold concentrations in the Cinco Estrellas vein system ranged up to 6.3 g/t gold down to the
128 meter level.� Limited workings only
9.3 meters below the 128 m level yielded samples with gold up to 10.9 g/t gold
and up to 180 g/t silver.� Romarco is designing a 20 hole
core drilling program to test the Cinco Estrellas vein system at depth.
The Company
completed channel sampling of the San Ramon-Purisima
vein system in early November, and assay data for those samples have now been
received.� Sixty-three sites were sampled
with as many as 7 samples collected across the vein at
any one sample site where multiple banding was observed.�� Two levels at the 70 and 124 meter depths
were sampled with some intervening collections down the shaft access.� Samples from the 124 meter level were
particularly enriched in gold and silver with six of the samples containing
more than 9 g/t gold and ranging from 9.17 to 16.3g/t.� Silver values for all 13 samples collected on
the 124 meter level averaged 108 g/t. Vein widths range from 20 cm to 1.2
meters.
Romarco Minerals Inc. is a gold development company
focused on production in the US and Mexico. The Company's flagship project is
the Haile Gold Mine in South Carolina which is
currently undergoing feasibility and permitting. The Pinos
Gold District in Mexico is a high grade epithermal vein district in the
advanced exploration stage. The Company also has three gold exploration
projects in Nevada.
