12.01.2012  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/12/12 -- Salazar Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: SRL)(FRANKFURT: CCG) is pleased to announce an updated National Instrument 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for the Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide ('VMS') El Domo deposit on its 100% owned (30,327 ha) Curipamba project in Ecuador.


Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. of Toronto, Canada ('RPA'), independent resource estimation consultant for Salazar, has prepared and authorized the release of the Mineral Resource Estimate. The El Domo Mineral Resource Estimate is based on an NSR cutoff value of US$50 per tonne.


The Indicated Mineral Resource is 5.53 million tonnes at an average grade of 2.4% Cu, 2.5% Zn, 0.3% Pb, 2.8 g/t Au, and 48.4 g/t Ag, containing 292.6 million pounds Cu, 304.8 million pounds Zn, 36.5 million pounds Pb, 498.0 thousand ounces Au, and 8.6 million ounces Ag.


In the Inferred Mineral Resources category there are an additional 1.46 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.9% Cu, 2.8% Zn, 0.3% Pb, 2.4 g/t Au, and 52.2 g/t Ag, containing 61.2 million pounds Cu, 90.1 million pounds Zn, 9.6 million pounds Pb, 112.6 thousand ounces Au and 2.45 million ounces Ag.

Notes:

1. CIM definitions were followed for mineral resources
2. The Mineral Resource Estimate is based on the interpretation of massive
and semi-massive sulphide, a NSR cut-off of US$50 per tonne, and a
minimum true thickness of 2.0 meters
3. Metal prices used are US$3.50/lb Cu, US$1.15/lb Zn, US$1.15/lb Pb,
US$1,400/oz Au, and US$26.00/oz Ag
4. Metallurgical recovery factors assumed were 87% Cu, 88% Zn, 65% Pb,
60% Au and 55% Ag
5. Common industry smelter terms were assumed
6. Bulk density was estimated based on specific gravity determinations for
each rock type


Fredy Salazar, President and CEO, commented: 'We are delighted with the new Mineral Resource Estimate which almost doubles the 2010 resource estimate. Additionally, there has been a significant increase in quality as the bulk of the Mineral Resource (79%) is now in the Indicated category. Further, since the cut-off date for the resource calculation an additional 7,000 metres have been drilled with continued encouraging results.' Significant diamond drill-hole intersections to date from the El Domo deposit are contained in Table 2.'

Salazar continues to maintain an aggressive exploration and delineation program at El Domo which remains open in several directions. The focus of the current diamond drilling program is to continue to increase the size and quality of the current resources at the El Domo deposit while additionally exploring for new zones of mineralization outside of the El Domo deposit.'

The volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization at El Domo is a Kuroko-style deposit hosted within a volcano-sedimentary sequence of Eocene age.


Mineral Resource Estimate Methodology and Parameters


The El Domo Mineral Resource Estimate is based on 78 surface diamond drill holes and assays from a total of 874 samples. The current drill spacing at El Domo is approximately 50 metres. A conventional approach of geological interpretation and block modelling was utilized for the Mineral Resource Estimate at El Domo. The general methodology and parameters used are:



-- Geological model based on the interpretation of massive and semi-massive
sulphide intersections digitized on 50m spaced sections and forming a
number of mineralization lenses (3D geological solids).
-- Mineralization intersections evaluated using a NSR cut off of US$50 and
a 2 metre minimum width.
-- Statistics of assays within the mineralized zones evaluated and grade
capping applied
-- Copper grades were capped at 17%, zinc grades at 20%, lead grades at 8%,
gold grades at 22 g/t and silver grades at 400 g/t prior to compositing.
The impact of capping grades at these levels resulted grades that are
lower than the uncapped assays from drilling, the decrease in grade is
10.19% for Au, 17.52% for Ag, 0.57% Cu, 5.04% for Pb and 17.20% for Zn.
-- Capped assays composited to 2 meter lengths
-- Variography using the 2 metres composites completed
-- Grade estimation completed using inverse distance weighting methods.
-- Tonnage factor applied based on a total of 536 specific gravity
measurements.
-- All blocks within the geological interpretation of mineralization
classified as resource.
-- Classification of indicated resource based on demonstrated geological
continuity of the main lens of massive sulphide mineralization.

Geo, of Roscoe Postle Associates Inc., an independent 'qualified person' under National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ('NI 43-101'). The NI 43-101 technical report in respect of the resource estimate disclosed herein will be filed on SEDAR within 45 days of the date of this news release.
