Dorato Further Defines Lucero Discovery
VANCOUVER, BC - Dorato Resources Inc. reported the receipt of follow-up rock assay results received from Minera Afrodita relating to the high priority Lucero discovery, Condor Gold-Copper Belt, Peru (previous News Release NR09-03, NR09-13). Recent follow-up rock sampling has returned highly anomalous results from 290 rock samples, ranging from below detection to 11.17 g/t gold, with coincident copper, zinc and lead anomalies. Dorato has a right to acquire 100% of Minera Afrodita.
The Lucero Target is located 5 km from the flagship Taricori Gold Zone - it was previously unknown and is not exposed by informal miners. The initial discovery of the Lucero Zone was based on the interpretation of magnetic and electromagnetic (EM) geophysical data combined with regional geochemistry. Initial sampling on the ground returned very encouraging gold grades in rock samples (from below detection to 3.27 g/t gold) and defined several broad areas of gold and base metal anomaly. Follow-up mapping and sampling has now added significant weight to those initial results and brought Lucero a step closer to drill testing.
