Trafford Resources Limited (ASX: TRF) is pleased to confirm excellent drill results from current exploration at the Curral de Pedra Gold Project in Central Brazil by Orinoco Gold Limited (ASX: OGX) in which Trafford holds an 18.74% equity interest.

Orinoco Gold recently reported grades of up to 193g/t in a diamond drill hole confirming the mineralization extends to over 620m down dip (See copy of Orinoco’s ASX report attached).

The intersection averaged 38.29g/t gold over 3.41m.

As a result of these excellent results Trafford has purchased additional shares in Orinoco, on market, increasing its overall shareholding.

Hits of up to 193gpt Au confirm mineralisation over 620m down dip

Drilling ongoing at Cascavel Target to confirm continuity of mineralisation over structure’s known 500m strike length

Drilling also underway to test interpreted 1.5km extension to strike

length of the structure

 

 Orinoco Gold  Limited  (ASX: OGX,  “Orinoco”)  is  pleased  to  announce  that  the  first assay results from the maiden 6000m diamond drilling program at its Curral de Pedra Gold Project  in  central Brazil have  confirmed  the  continuity of mineralisation over 620m down dip.  The assays  received  to date  from  the  first  three holes  cover only one of  the  three known mineralised  zones  at Curral de  Pedra’s Cascavel  Target,  known  as  the  First Mineralised Level (see Figure 1). Assays from the other zones are pending.  Intersections  from  this  zone  include  3.41m  at  21.76gpt,  including  0.66m  at 193.69gpt. Previous  channel  samples  from historic workings on  this  level  returned samples of 0.65m  at 72.7gpt (Figure 1).    It is important to note that the primary objective of the drilling has been to establish the continuity of the mineralisation over the 620m down dip extent of the structure, which has now been achieved, and along its 500m strike length (see Figure 2).   Given  the  vein  hosted,  coarse  high‐grade  nature  of  the  gold  at  Cascavel, Orinoco views drilling as a tool to demonstrate continuity of the mineralisation while grades, which  as  these  results  show,  are  likely  to  vary  significantly  across  the mineralised zones and will probably not be accurately represented by drilling.    The Company believes that bulk sampling delivers a more representative sample of the grade at the Curral de Pedra Project. A recent one tonne bulk sample taken from historic workings along  the 500m strike  length  returned an average grade of 22gpt (see ASX announcement dated November 21, 2012).  Orinoco has so far completed 12 diamond drill holes at Cascavel and expects to have drilled up  to 30 holes by  the end of  the current 6000m program,  to be completed during the first quarter of 2013.

Moving forward, the Company intends to next report assay results once a more representative number of results have been received.  This is expected to occur by late January 2013.  The ongoing drilling program aims to achieve three objectives: 

• First,  to  ‘infill’ drill within  the currently known 500m x 620m zone encompassing  the First and Second Mineralised Levels (see Figure 2); 

• Second,  to  establish  the  continuity  of mineralisation  within  additional  sulphide  zones  intersected  in recent drilling above the First Mineralised Level (Carbonaceous schist); and  

• Third, to test the interpreted 1.5km strike extension to all three structures.  

Hole CDP 008 was  the  first hole drilled  in  the program and very poor drill core recoveries were recorded  (only 40% of  the  core  from  the  1st Mineralised  zone was  returned)  and  The Company believes  the drilling did not adequately test the mineralised zone  in this  location. Consequently the drilling contractor  is currently re‐drilling this hole, at no cost to Orinoco.

Figure 2 – Plan view showing drill plan and outline of mineralised zones to date (with dimensions)  Orinoco Managing Director Mark Papendieck said the first assays from the Company’s maiden drilling program confirmed the prospectivity and tenor of mineralisation at Cascavel.  “While we are delighted to have an intersection of more than 3m grading over 21 g/t in one of our first ever holes at the Project, the key message from these results  is that the scale of the mineralisation at Cascavel  is shaping up to be very substantial,” Mr Papendieck said.

 “It is early days in this exploration program, but all the results received to date support our over‐arching belief that Cascavel has the potential to be an extremely  large gold system characterised by structurally controlled quartz veins hosting high‐grade mineralisation.”

Correction to ASX Announcement, 12 December 2012:

Hits of up to 193gpt Au confirm mineralisation over 620m down dip

 

 Further to its announcement of 12 December 2012, Orinoco Gold Limited (ASX: OGX, “Orinoco”) advises  that, due  to an error  in  the calculation of  the weighted average grade of the composite assay result reported in hole CDP 004, the grade reported to the market was materially understated.  All actual intersections reported in the results table contained in the announcement are correct, however the composite of the intersections announced on 12 December for  hole  CDP  004 was  3.41m @  21.76  g/t  of  gold.  The  correct  figure  should  have been:  

• 3.41m @ 38.29 g/t gold.    Orinoco apologises for the error.
