Gold-Ore Drills a Significant Extension to the Bjorkdal Gold Mine
12.04.2012 | Business Wire
Gold-Ore Resources Ltd. (GOZ:TSX) is pleased to report diamond drilling results from the underground unit of the Bjorkdal Gold Mine in Sweden. This recent drilling has identified a significant new gold zone in an area where there has been no previous drilling. This new zone hosts numerous well-mineralized veins and remains open to further expansion.
Gold-Ore President, Bob Wasylyshyn commented, 'Late last year, we dedicated one underground drill rig to test out beyond the northern end of known mineralization. Since that time, 14 holes totalling 2,990 metres were completed and all holes intersected multiple quartz veins with economic gold grades over mineable widths. This entirely new area has the potential to add several years to the underground mine life.'
The new zone is 200-300 metres below surface and is at the same level and adjacent to areas of active mining. The area lies outside of the underground reserves and our engineering department is currently completing a reserve estimate. The zone has been tested over an area 250 metres by 300 metres and remains open to expansion in several directions. At least 7 veins have been delineated and drilling was conducted at 20 metre spacing. The Company is currently drilling step-out holes to test the on-strike extensions of the veins.

Sample Protocol and Chain of Custody
In order to minimize the effects of the coarse nugget gold at Bjorkdal, the Company has elected to submit 100% of the core for analysis, rather than retaining half of the core for archive. This provides a much larger sample for gold analysis and theoretically a more representative result. The core is logged and photographed, and for the zones sampled, the entire core is shipped to ALS Chemex for gold analysis. A rigorous QA/QC program is employed that involves the insertion of blanks and certified standards.
