VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/10/12 -- Lara Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: LRA) ("Lara" or the "Company") is pleased to report that Avanco Resources Ltd. ("Avanco") has mobilized a drill rig to the Company's Conceicao Nickel Sulphide Project, in northern Brazil and plans to begin a 1,500 metre program in the coming weeks.
Drilling will test four priority targets outlined by geophysical surveys, auger drilling and surface sampling with anomalous nickel, copper and platinum group metal values (see Company news releases of February 14 and December 7, 2011 for details), associated with weathered and fresh mafic intrusive rocks.
Avanco can earn a 75% interest in the project by completing 1,500 metres of drilling by November 2012 and then sufficient exploration work by January 10, 2014 to generate a JORC (Australasian Joint Ore Reserves Committee) compliant resource with sufficient drill data and metallurgical test work for the Brazilian Department of Mines to approve the Final Exploration Report.
