Balmoral Resources Ltd. (TSX:BAR)  (OTCQX:BALMF) has received, from joint venture partner GTA Resources and Mining Inc. (TSX-V:GTA), the results from 36 shallow (surface to approximately 30 metres vertical depth) drill holes recently completed on the Northshore Property located near Schreiber, Ontario.

Drilling focused on delineation of the high-grade Audney and Caly vein systems which outcrop at surface and are located within the central core of the broader Afric Gold Zone (see Figure 1). Drilling continues to intersect very high grade ( > 1 oz/ton), near surface, gold mineralization (including 139.00 g/t gold over 1.20 metres, 72.40 g/t gold over 1.0 metre and 39.3 g/t gold over 1.50 metres – see table below) along both the Audney (D – series holes) and Caly (A – series holes) vein systems. Additional highlights of the program, more fully detailed in Tables 1 and 2 below, include:

• 4.06 g/t gold over 23.00 metres, including 25.60 g/t gold over 3.0 metres in hole A-16-12
• 5.67 g/t gold over 10.40 metres, including 33.70 g/t gold over 1.40 metres in hole A-16-08
• 5.96 g/t gold over 9.0 metres, including 24.14 g/t gold over 2.00 metres in hole D-16-07
• 7.29 g/t gold over 5.40 metres, including 18.54 g/t gold over 2.00 metres in hole D-16-08

“We are pleased to see the current drill program further delineating the near surface potential at Northshore and appearing to outline local continuity to the high-grade vein systems located at the core of the broader Afric Gold Zone,” said Darin Wagner, President and CEO of Balmoral Resources.
