Lupaka Gold Reports Crucero Drilling on Target and Updates Other Exploration and Corporate Activities

19.07.2012  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/19/12 -- Lupaka Gold Corp. ("Lupaka Gold" or "the Company") (TSX: LPK) announces that its 8000 metre drill program is on schedule at its 100%-owned, 5500 ha Crucero Gold Project in southern Peru.


A-1 Resource Expansion Drilling


Lupaka Gold now has two diamond drill core rigs working full-time on the Crucero Gold Project, and has completed four drill holes (DDH-19, DDH-53, DDH-54, DDH-55) for a total of approximately 1500 metres since the 2012 drilling season commenced in late May. The first of these holes was drilled to test the resource at depth in the southwest portion of the A-1 Zone, while the other three holes were drilled to test the northern extension of the existing A-1 mineralized envelope. The Company is currently drilling its fifth and sixth holes of the 2012 season, which will also test northern and depth extensions of the A-1 mineralized envelope.

Exploration Drilling


Detailed geology and exploration field work is continuing on the A-3, A-4 and A-5 Zones, now collectively called the Chaska Zone, to identify high priority drill targets in that area. The Company has committed to a third drill rig and is mobilizing that rig to the Chaska Zone. Drilling is expected to commence on the Chaska Zone by mid-August 2012. The Company plans to drill a total of approximately 4,000 metres for A-1 resource expansion and 4,000 metres on additional targets, beginning with the Chaska Zone.


Metallurgical Studies


Based on internal Whittle pit results, the Company has selected four new composite metallurgical samples for the 2012 metallurgical testing program. The four composites lie within the ultimate conceptual Whittle pit shell, and represent the metallurgical characteristics that have been identified within the mineralized envelope. Metallurgical test results are expected to be available for release before the end of 2012.


Listing on Lima Stock Exchange


The Company is assessing the potential benefits of a listing of it shares on the Lima Stock Exchange or the "BVL". The Lima Stock Exchange is one of the major sources of capital funding for resource companies operating in Peru. The purpose of such a listing would be to expand the Company's financial and investor market access into Peru, as well as provide more direct access to the Company for investors throughout Latin America.

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 100% indirect interest in the property. Since commencing active exploration in April 2010, the Company has reported NI 43-101 compliant gold resource estimate updates in the first quarter of 2011 and 2012 (see the Company's most recent technical report on sedar.com). In addition to the existing resource estimate, Lupaka Gold has identified a number of exploration targets within the Crucero Project that display similar anomalous characteristics.


On July 17, 2012, Lupaka Gold and Andean American Gold Corp. ("Andean American") announced that the companies have entered into an Arrangement Agreement that provides for a combination of the two companies to create a new Peru-focused gold exploration and development company.
