Rome Resources Ltd.: Proposed Reverse Circulation Drilling on West Zone, Based Mainly on Trench Analyses, Don Luis Property, Son
March 23 2011 - 2:51PM
Marketwired
Rome Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: RMR) (FRANKFURT: 33R) is pleased
to announce results of trenching in the West Zone (Fig. A1) on the
Don Luis Property, Sonora, Mexico. Proposed locations of 273
reverse circulation drill holes (Fig. A2) are justified by results
from trench sampling coupled with results from geochemical soil and
mineralized rock sampling.
The Don Luis Property is about 45 km north-northeast of
Hermosillo, the capital of Sonora. The location of the West Zone,
with respect to the rest of the Don Luis Property, is shown in
Figure A1. Each of the three zones, West, Central and East are
marked by geochemical soil anomalies that individually are about
500 meters in diameter (Fig. A1). These zones are also marked by
coincident greisen-alteration, "brain" rock (UST texture) and local
greisen-breccia (see fig. A1 in Rome's News Release #1, January
11th 2011).
A total of 2,978 meters of trenches were sampled at two meter
intervals in the West Zone. These trenches, shown in Figures A2 to
A5, were sampled at two meter intervals. Each sample weighed about
10 kilograms and was pulverized by Laboratorio Technologico de
Metalurgia, S.A. de C.V., Hermosillo, Sonora. These pulps were
analyzed in-house with a Niton X-ray fluorescence analyzer.
Tungsten, molybdenum and tin analyses were adjusted based on
correlation with 109 samples that were also analyzed by ALS-Chemex
Ltd., North Vancouver, B.C. Lead and arsenic values, reported here,
were not adjusted. On some diagrams results from soil geochemical
analyses from a north-south soil grid are shown; these analyses
were by Pioneer Laboratories Inc. of Richmond, B.C.
Best results for all significant metals analyzed are
concentrated within greisen-porphyry around diamond drill hole
DLS10DD02. (This 400 meter deep drill hole returned 280 meters
grading 12 grams per tonne silver-see Table 4 in Rome's News
Release #10, May 28th 2010). A preliminary drilling pattern, based
on these results (some of which are shown in Figures A3 to A5) is
shown in Figure A2. This drilling pattern will be modified as
additional information is acquired and interpreted. Our results
support the drilling of all 275 reverse circulation holes; however,
grid spacing will start at 100 meters apart rather than the 50
meter spacing shown in Figure A2. Thirty-seven of the holes
proposed are first priority holes, 28 are second priority, and 210
are third priority. Drilling is expected to begin in early April
following delivery of our new, state-of-the-art Prospector II
Reverse Circulation Drill. This drill will allow drilling of holes
to a depth of about 100 meters. Note, however, that diamond drill
holes DLS10DD01 and 02 intersected significant silver in intervals
from their tops to their bottoms at 400 meters depth-all in leached
capping (see Table 4 in Rome's News Release #10, May 28th 2010).
Below this depth supergene copper enrichment might exist given the
red-hematitic limonite and subdued copper values in the surface
capping rock (Fig. A5).
Anomalous trench sample values for lead (pathfinder for silver),
tungsten, molybdenum, arsenic (reflection of gold) and tin are
summarized in Table A1. Results for lead and silver are in Figure
A3. Tungsten is shown in Figure A4.
