Lupaka Gold Corp. Drills 204 Metres at 1.14 g/t Gold Including 6 Metres at 7.3 g/t Gold, and Continues to Expand Crucero Mineralized Zone to the North

03.11.2011  |  Marketwired
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire - Nov. 3, 2011) - Lupaka Gold Corp. (“Lupaka Gold“ or “the Company“) (TSX: LPK) announces that it has received assay results on six additional drill holes from the ongoing drilling program being carried out this year on its Crucero Gold Project in southern Peru. The Company reports results on one of the broadest mineralized intercepts ever encountered at Crucero assaying 1.14 g/t gold over 204 metres, and containing several higher grade intercepts of up to 7.3 g/t gold over 6 metres.

The significant new gold intercepts are highlighted below, with the complete results and drill hole co-ordinates reported in Table 1. All of these results are from the A-1 Zone and all numbers are in metres except Gold which is in grams per tonne (“g/t“):

To date, Lupaka Gold has completed seventeen drill holes and over 5,400 metres since commencing the 2011 drill program, and is awaiting assays from its first exploratory hole in the A-11 Zone. The 2011 drill program is focused on resource expansion at the A-1 Zone and investigating other identified anomalies on the 5,500 hectare claim area.

Eric Edwards, President and CEO of Lupaka Gold, commented, “The most recent drilling shows the consistency, strength and growth potential of mineralization throughout the A-1 Zone. DDH-38, in a void near the heart of the mineralized envelope, returned one of the largest mineralized intercepts ever encountered by us at Crucero.“

Mr. Edwards continued, “DDH-46 is also significant in that we have a mineralization intercept of 48 metres averaging 1.2 g/t gold. More important is the evidence of the northward turn of the A-1 Zone which opens up exciting possibilities and upside. These new results are exceeding our expectations and could positively impact resource growth and the economic potential of Crucero.“

The Company also completed exploration holes DDH-47 and DDH-48, which returned no significant assay results. These holes were drilled outside of the current mineralized envelope to test the possible eastward extension of mineralization.

Professional Staff Additions

The Company also reports that it has added to its professional exploration staff in Peru with the hiring of Carlos Yrigoyen as Country Manager. Carlos is a mining industry professional who has been involved with many Peruvian and Canadian major and small-cap mining companies over a 30-year career. Carlos will be located in the Lima, Peru office of Minera Pacacorral, the Company's 60% owned subsidiary.

The Company continues to search for a Vice President Exploration to assist the Company in advancing the Crucero Gold Project from advanced exploration to early-stage development.


Drilling for 2011

The Company has revised its expectation for total drilled metres for the 2011 drilling campaign to 9,000 metres -- the Company originally planned to drill 11,000 metres. The revision is due to delays in receiving exploration and drilling permits on certain exploration anomalies at Crucero; these permits are now expected to be received in early 2012. The Company will exceed its originally planned 5,500 metres for resource expansion drilling on the A-1 Zone.


About the Company

Lupaka Gold is aggressively exploring and developing the Crucero Gold Project, its 5,500 hectare gold property located in southern Peru. The Company, based in Vancouver, Canada, is project operator and holds a 60% indirect interest in the property and has an option to acquire the remaining 40% indirect interest at any time until July 2015. Since commencing active exploration in April 2010, the Company has reported a NI 43-101 compliant gold resource (see the Company's most recent technical report on sedar.com). In addition to the existing resource, Lupaka Gold has identified several exploration targets within the Crucero Property that display similar anomalous characteristics. Lupaka Gold is led by a strong management team with the proven ability to develop, finance and operate mining projects. The Company completed an initial public offering of its common shares and warrants on the Toronto Stock Exchange on June 28, 2011.


Quality Control and Assurance

Assaying for this drilling campaign was carried out by ALS Chemex in Lima, Peru, exercising a thorough Quality Assurance and Control program (QA/QC). As part of QA/QC protocol, duplicates, standards and blanks were inserted into the sample processing stream. The core was photographed for reference, logged and mineralized sections were sawed in half. Sample lengths vary between 0.5 to 2.0 metres. Half core samples were bagged, sealed and delivered to ALS Chemex in Arequipa, Peru, an accredited laboratory. The remaining core is stored on site for reference. Gold was assayed by a 50 gram fire assay with an AAS finish. All ALS Chemex labs are ISO 9000 registered.
