Additional Drilling Completed At Tocantinzinho Gold Project
Since Eldorado began operating the project in September, 2008, 42 drill holes have been completed for a total of 12,629.17 meters. The total diamond drilling delineating the deposit today is 36,236 meters. The objectives of the current drilling program are to confirm previous drilling carried out by Brazauro, to fill in the drilling grid, to investigate the nature of the enclosing rocks and to provide larger samples for metallurgical testing.
Highlights from this round of drilling include the following strong drill results: TOC-110 1.27 g/t gold over 121.42 meters from 106.58 meters depth; TOC-116 1.54 g/t gold over 123.13 meters from surface; TOC-119 1.25 g/t gold over 167.39 meters from 185.15 meters depth; TOC-134 1.14 g/t gold over 137.83 meters from 111.07 meters depth, and TOC-135A 1.14 g/t gold over 303.17 meters from 86.00 meters depth.
Mark Jones, chairman and CEO, said, Brazauro is very pleased with the results of this round of in-fill drilling by Eldorado. Clearly, these holes confirm the earlier drilled Brazauro holes and concurrently, upgrades the resource to higher levels of definition.
