Uruguay Mineral Exploration Inc. Announces Further Resultsfor Arenal Deeps Drilling Including 26.2 m at 13.76 g/t Au

 


Uruguay Mineral Exploration Inc ("UME" or the "Company") a South America focused gold production and exploration company is pleased to report results from four additional drill holes completed in the Arenal Deeps deposit.

 


David Fowler, CEO of UME, commented, "These additional drill results, together with the first six infill drill holes released on July 8, 2009, are not included in the results of the Prefeasibility Study released today. They have at a minimum confirmed the resource model and in most cases have intercepted better than expected grades and thicknesses such as drill hole ALDD108 which intercepted 26.2 meters at 13.76 g/t from 300.65 meters. The drill holes are part of an ongoing definition drill program, which is designed to upgrade the resource categories and collect geo-technical information for the feasibility study."

* Drill hole thickness reported, approximate true thickness

 


Drill hole intercepts are composites using a minimum 1.0 g/t Au cutoff, no capping grade, and may include up to 2 continuous samples below the 1 g/t cut off.

 


The above results compare to a measured and indicated resource grade of 2.2 g/t for the Arenal Deeps resource. These holes have at a minimum confirmed the resource model and in most cases have intercepted better than expected grades and thicknesses. Intercepts such as those in ALDD108 will significantly increase grade and tonnes in this sector of the resource.

 


A location map and cross sections of the holes ALDD103 through ALDD111 can be found on the company's web page at the following link:

These cross sections show the contrast of recent intercept widths and grade as compared to the April 2009 resource model grades.

 


Resource definition drilling continues with two diamond core drills currently dedicated to the estimated 18,000 meter program. It is anticipated that infill and extension drilling campaign of Arenal Deeps should be completed by January 2010. Geo-mechanical data and samples are being collected during the current program as part of a comprehensive geotechnical study to define rock quality for underground operations.
