Golden Reign Resources Ltd.: Underground Sampling at Mina Francisco Returns 13.04 g/t Gold and 22.7 g/t Silver

24.09.2012  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/24/12 -- Golden Reign Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: GRR) (the "Company") is very pleased to report assay results from additional underground channel sampling and trenching at Mina Francisco, located in the Southern District of its flagship San Albino-Murra Gold Property (the "Property"), Nicaragua.


Mina Francisco, an old underground working from the 1920's, is situated midway between the San Albino Mine area and the highly prospective Las Conchitas area, located approximately 1.5 kilometres from each. Very limited work was conducted historically at Mina Francisco, with minimal material removed.


In August 2012, the Company commenced rehabilitation of the mine adit that returned excellent results when partially accessed and sampled during 2011. A second entrance to the adit was discovered during the excavation of trench SAM12-TR-07, allowing Golden Reign to systematically sample the near-surface Mina Francisco vein which has now been exposed for 12 metres in strike length and 7 metres down-dip at a depth of only 5 metres from surface (see attached map, available at the following link: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/grr0924.pdf).


In all, the Company collected 35 underground channel samples over the 12 metre strike length. Sampling of the true thickness of the mineralized zone exposed in the adit returned an average thickness of 1.56 metres grading 13.04 g/t gold and 22.7 g/t silver (see table below). Underground channel sampling highlights include:



-- 2.0 metres of 33.35 g/t gold and 42.8 g/t silver
-- 2.0 metres of 26.45 g/t gold and 30.7 g/t silver
-- 2.0 metres of 23.87 g/t gold and 40.8 g/t silver


Intended to find the surface trace of the highly mineralized Mina Francisco vein, the best interval from trench SAM-12-TR-07 returned 8.0 metres of 4.28 g/t gold and 12.6 g/t silver, comprised of:



SAM-12-TR-07 4.0 metres averaging 3.29 g/t gold and 18.0 g/t silver from
quartz vein

and 4.0 metres averaging 5.28 g/t gold and 7.3 g/t silver from
schists


A second trench, SAM-12-TR-08, intercepted an additional, parallel mineralized vein approximately 20 centimetres wide which returned 1.0 metre of 4.52 g/t gold and 11.1 g/t silver. Sampling of the host rock (schists), containing quartz veinlets, returned 2.0 metres of 7.44 g/t gold and 6.5 g/t silver, including 14.32 g/t gold and 10.4 g/t silver. This vein is located approximately 50 metres southwest of and above the Mina Francisco adit.


The Mina Francisco vein represents a portion of one of several parallel mineralized structures first exposed by trenching in 2011 that currently exceed 700 metres in strike length. The vein remains open in both directions and at depth.


Mapping of the underground workings indicates a northwest strike of 300 degrees and a dip of 40 degrees to the southwest. This is at right angles to the apparent regional strike to the vein system and reflects local contortions to the vein. The vein appears to be relatively flat lying and rolling, giving differing strike and dip measurements.

(i)The averages in the table above have been calculated from three
vertical samples taken across the mineralized zone.


Mineralization consisting predominantly of galena, sphalerite, arsenopyrite and free gold is present in both the quartz vein and surrounding schists. Parting and inclusions of schists in various stages of alteration occurs throughout the mineralized zone. To test the nature and obtain a better understanding of the mineralization, some of the samples representing the true thickness of the zone were collected over sections with similar lithological characteristics and averaged, as presented in the table above.


San Albino-Murra Property


Over the past two years, aggressive exploration programs conducted by the Company - including regional geological mapping, trenching, geochemical surveys and drilling - have resulted in the discovery of the Corona de Oro Gold Belt. A structural corridor approximately 3 kilometres wide by 25 kilometres long that stretches from the El Jicaro Concession in the south to the north-eastern boundaries of the San Albino-Murra Property, the Corona de Oro Gold Belt hosts over 170 quartz vein structures, 112 adits, 148 mine dumps and 354 exploration pits.
