Marketwired
Anglo Aluminum Corp. (TSX VENTURE: ALU) is pleased to announce
positive results from the initial drill campaign on its 100%-owned
Mamou-Dalaba Bauxite Project in Guinea, West Africa. The
regionally-focused program consisted of 48 auger-type drill holes
totalling 519 metres spaced at 1,200 metres along a series of
bauxitic plateaus in the east-central part of the project area.
Highlights include 15 metres assaying 43.79% Al2O3, 10 metres of
41.53% Al2O3, and 8 metres of 46.81% Al2O3 (see Table 1).

This first-pass drill program was designed to test priority
targets identified through analysis of ASTER satellite imagery of
the area. Drill results confirm the presence of moderate to
high-grade bauxite on 9 plateaus covering an area 5 kilometres by
20 kilometres. The area tested constitutes less than 20% of the
permitted area.
Mr. Gillis, president and chief executive officer of Anglo
Aluminum, commented: "After reviewing the assay results from this
first-pass program with drill hole spacing at 1,200 metres, we are
very encouraged and believe the potential of the Mamou-Dalaba
property to hold large, good grade, bauxite resources is
significant."
Mamou-Dalaba consists of 4 permits totalling 1,832 km(2),
situated in southwestern Guinea, 100 kilometres east of the
capital, Conakry. The main national highway and the old Trans
Guinean Railway right of way traverse the southeast corner of the
property. A proposed rail line from the Bellzone iron ore
development to a port just south of Conakry would run less than 60
kilometres south of Mamou-Dalaba.
The next stage of auger drilling at Mamou-Dalaba will test other
priority targets identified in the satellite imagery study with
widely-spaced drill holes. Resource drilling, at 300 metre by 300
metre grid spacing, of the confirmed bauxite plateaus will be
conducted in conjunction with this regional drill program. Anglo
Aluminum is collaborating with consultants Coffey Mining on this
next phase of drilling.
Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC)
Coffey Mining managed the drill programs from their Accra, Ghana
office on behalf of Anglo Aluminum. Toumnyne SARL of Guinea
conducted the auger drilling at Mamou-Dalaba in June, 2010. Samples
were collected from the auger drill under the supervision of Coffey
geologists and sent to SGS South Africa (Pty) Ltd. for analysis by
XRF methods. A duplicate field sample was inserted for every 20
samples. One of 5 different bauxite standard samples was inserted
in every 20 sample lot. SGS also inserted duplicates, standards,
and blanks for internal QA/QC.
