Gold-Ore Reports Underground Drill Results & Future Drill Plans at Bjorkdal
10 November 2009 - 12:00AM
Marketwired Canada
Gold-Ore Resources Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:GOZ) is pleased to report
drill results from the on-going underground diamond drill program at the
100%-owned Bjorkdal Gold Mine in Sweden. The drilling has been very successful
at expanding the size of the orebody and the deposit remains open to expansion
in all directions. Management is confident that drilling at the mine is
extending mine life by more than adequately replacing mined ounces with new
ounces.
Gold-Ore President, Bob Wasylyshyn, commented, "Recent drilling continues to
expand the orebody and has a significant and positive impact on mine life,
thereby increasing the Net Asset Value of the mine and the Company. This coupled
with more stable gold production through an improved mine plan provides an
exceptional opportunity for growth in the Company."
Reserve, Resource Expansion
The Company recently released a reserve/resource statement (see NR dated
October, 28, 2009) that was based on historic drilling and all drilling
conducted during 2006 to 2008, but excluded all 2009 drilling. During 2009 a
total of 36 core holes (4,700 metres) were drilled from the underground workings
and 91% of the holes have intersected quartz veins with mineable gold grades and
widths. These results have successfully expanded the known reserve/resource at
Bjorkdal.
Exploration Drift
During July an exploration tunnel was started and driven to explore the
extension of the orebody towards the north. This area has been tested by only a
few surface holes with very encouraging results. The tunnel is now 90% complete
and the diamond drill was positioned in it 10 days ago. Two holes have been
completed and both intersected numerous quartz veins, many mineralized with
visible gold.
The current mine plan at Bjorkdal involves mining over 40 gold-bearing quartz
veins across a footprint width of 1,200 metres. Drilling from the exploration
drift is successfully extending that footprint along strike and the tonnage
potential is significant when multiplied across the 40 known veins. The drill
will complete six to ten holes in the tunnel and will then be moved so that the
tunnel can be extended providing further drill access.

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.
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.
