Amarillo Announces Drilling Results Update at Mara Rosa

 

 

 

 

 

Amarillo Gold Corporation (TSX-V: AGC) (OTCQB: AGCBF) is pleased to announce drilling results from its first 11 holes of the planned 10,000 m drill program on its flagship Mara Rosa Project which commenced on May 23, 2018.

 

 

Highlights:

 

  • 1.57 Au g/t over 18 metres from 214 to 231¹ metres in Hole 18P047
  • 1.57 Au g/t over 10 metres from 206 to 216 metres in Hole 18P056
  • 1.29 Au g/t over 13 metres from 189 to 202 metres in Hole 18P057
    ¹Drill core lengths and true widths are indicated in Table 1 below

 

 

In May 2018, the Company commenced a 10,000m drill program at Mara Rosa which included 7,000m of core drilling and 3,000 m of RC drilling designed to convert the existing 310K ounces from inferred resources to indicated resources and to explore additional targets along the 12km long Posse trend. A total of 2,617m from 11 diamond drill holes have been completed to date using three drills. Drilling focused on the northeast end of the pit which has previously been identified as the low strip, shallow end of the ore body. “These infill drill results confirm the gold deposit grade continuity and thickness and are expected to contribute positive economic ounces to our indicated resources,” said Mike Mutchler, CEO of Amarillo Gold. “We are now working on 16 additional drill holes downdip in the south end of the pit after which we will move the drills to the southwest for 4 planned step-out drill holes in the fall.”

Notes to Table 1

         
 

Samples of split NQ size core, sampled at 1m intervals, assayed by fire assay at ALS Laboratories an ISO registered laboratory.

 

Blank, repeat assays, and standards were used and all returned results within compliance.

 
 

Gold intervals calculated using a 0.35 g/t cut-off. Intervals of up to 5m below cut-off included for continuity.

 

Assays greater than 10 g/t cut to 10 g/t. Grades quoted to two decimal places.

   
 

Samples followed a chain of custody protocol.
