Rome's Prospector II Reverse Circulation Drill Will Accelerate Evaluation of Rome's Extensive Properties

Marketwired
Rome Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: RMR) (FRANKFURT: 33R) is pleased
to announce that their Prospector II Reverse Circulation Drill is
operational on the Don Luis Silver-Gold-Tungsten Property in
Sonora, Mexico. This state-of-the-art drill was manufactured by
Multi-Power Products Ltd. of Kelowna, B.C., Canada
(www.multipowerproducts.com) and exported to Mexico. Pictures of
the current operation of our drill are in Figures A1 and A2 of the
Appendix. This reverse circulation drilling is particularly
important because on Don Luis the silver results from diamond
drilling, while very encouraging (News Release #10: May 28th 2010),
are thought to be low because of poor core recovery in our
preliminary diamond drilling campaign. The larger sample size, more
complete and more representative sample from reverse circulation
drilling is expected to yield higher silver values.
Acquisition of this drill is considered critical to evaluation,
not only for Don Luis, but also for the extensive and highly
prospective suite of silver, gold and copper properties held by
Rome in Mexico. Training of Mexican operators is in full swing.
Advantages of having our own drill include: (i) faster, cheaper
drilling and easier sample preparation, and generally more reliable
assay results from reverse circulation drilling compared to diamond
drilling-this is expected to lead to quicker evaluations and
information for investors, (ii) avoidance of lead time in obtaining
a drill contractor-currently as much as nine months, and (iii) ease
of mobilization to any of Rome's properties in Sonora and
Michoacan.
