Uruguay Mineral Exploration Inc ("UME" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from the ongoing Arenal Deeps resource definition drilling program. Drill results continue to confirm and extend the independent resource estimated in April 2009.

 


David Fowler, Chief Executive Officer commented: "The Arenal Deeps definition drilling program continues to upgrade the main mineralized lode with better than modeled grades and thicknesses. Significant results from the additional seven holes reported include hole ALDD120 with 19.45 meters at 7.59 g/t Au and 10.25 meters at 5.8 g/t Au. We look forward to drilling the final 11,500 meters by January 2010, followed by an updated 43-101 resource estimate expected to be published in March 2010 which will enable the completion of a feasibility study in June 2010."

Intercepts are drill widths (approximate true thickness) and may include up to 2m of internal dilution by lower grade (<1g/t) material

 


Holes ALDD116, ALDD118 & ALDD120 were drilled within the central portion of the main mineralized lode(s) and intersected better than previously modeled thickness and grades.

 


Holes ALDD119 & ALDD121 tested the narrower edges of the deposit and intersected thickness and grades anticipated by previous modeling.

 


Hole ALDD122 tested the down dip portion of the model and encountered a thin but high-grade portion of the mineralized structure.

 


Reverse Circulation drilling has been employed along the up dip portion of the mineralized body just below the final pit. This drill technique will be used to help define the up dip portion of the mineralized structures. Two diamond core rigs continue to drill the deeper portion of the Arenal Deeps deposit.

 


Geo-mechanical and metallurgical data and samples are being collected during the current program.

 


Approximately 13,500 drill meters have been completed to date and an additional 11,500 meters are currently scheduled to be completed by January 2010.
