Gold-Ore Resources Ltd.: Bjorkdal Gold Mine-Underground Drill Results
02 September 2009 - 11:30PM
Marketwired
Gold-Ore Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: GOZ) is pleased to report
initial results from the on-going underground diamond drilling
conducted at the Bjorkdal Gold Mine in Sweden. The 100%-owned
Bjorkdal Mine has operated since 1988 and will produce its
millionth ounce during 2010.
Drilling Summary
During the last six months, the Company drilled 5,027 metres in
49 core holes (3,400 underground and in the open pit, 600 metres
for resource expansion and 1,027 metres exploring Ronnberget) and
will continue to drill throughout the year. Drilling is currently
ongoing with two diamond drills and it is anticipated that a total
of 10,000 metres will be drilled in 2009. This activity is being
financed entirely from cash flow from gold produced at
Bjorkdal.
The underground drill pattern is based on 20 metre spaced
sections to accommodate reserve definition. The first 25 holes were
drilled in the Centrala Zone where they intersected a series of
gold-bearing quartz veins of minable width and grade. The Centrala
Zone represents an area of significant gold-bearing veins that are
readily accessible for mining. A crosscut to access the
mineralization has been started and the first vein has been
reached. Mining will take place concurrently with all of the other
active mining blocks within the deposit. The table below lists the
significant results of the first 15 holes.

The Company only releases drill intersections deemed to be
significant. If a drill hole cuts mineralization with gold values
greater than 2.5 g/t across a true width of approximately 2.0
metres or more, it is released. This criterion is based on the
mining methods employed at Bjorkdal where mining widths vary from
2.5 meters to 5.0 metres. The multiple intersections in many of the
holes reflect different veins within the vein swarm.
Future Drilling Plans
All mining activity conducted by Gold-Ore over the last 3 1/2
years has been restricted to a swarm of quartz veins (over 40 veins
in total) in a footprint measuring 1,200 metres across strike and
150 metres along strike. The on-strike extension of the vein swarm
to the north represents an extremely large target that has been
tested with less than 10 drill holes, many of which intersected
significant gold grades. An exploration tunnel, scheduled for
completion within 60 days, is being driven along one of the quartz
veins to access this target. A diamond drill will be located in the
tunnel to test the on-strike potential of the quartz vein swarm. If
the drilling is successful there is potential to double the
footprint of the vein swarm and significantly expand mine life.
Sample Protocol and Chain of Custody
In order to minimize the effects of the coarse nugget gold at
Bjorkdal, the Company has elected to submit 100% of the core for
analysis, rather than retaining half of the core for archive. This
provides a much larger sample for gold analysis and theoretically a
more representative result. The core is logged and photographed,
and for the zones sampled, the entire core is shipped to ALS Chemex
for gold analysis. A rigorous QA/QC program is employed that
involves the insertion of blanks and certified standards.
