Antioquia Gold Inc. ("Antioquia" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:
AGD)(OTCQX: AGDXF) is pleased to announce that the Company has
expanded the Chapulin-Manuela prospect at the Cisneros Project with
the discovery of five (5) new gold bearing veins within what the
company is calling the Chamuela and Soroma structures (refer to
figures 1&2). The veins are located between the previously
described Chapulin and Manuela prospect areas. Eight (8) widely
spaced drill holes amounting to 1771.2 m of drilling resulted in
the discovery of these new vein systems. Highlights from two of the
holes are 12.8 g/t Au over 1.7 m and 8.25 g/t Au over 1.5 m. The
Chamuela and Soroma drill results can be found below in Table 1.
The Chamuela and Soroma discoveries are significant as they are
indicative of multiple en-echelon, north-northeast striking,
steeply dipping gold-bearing structures within the Chapulin-Manuela
prospect area. The discoveries compliment the previous discoveries
made at the Chapulin, Manuela and Guaico structures; 130 m west,
180 m north-northeast and 250 m east respectively (see Figure 2).
The discoveries made at the Chamuela structures in drill holes
CHM11-001 through CHM11-006 are over a strike length of 150 m, the
individual veins and host structures are continuous, geochemically
distinct over this strike length and all remain open along strike,
to depth and down plunge.
Drill holes SRM11-001 and SRM11-002 were designed to test along
strike and below the Soroma artisanal mine. The Soroma structure
remains open along strike and to depth.
"The discovery of these new vein structures in the Chapulin -
Manuela prospect is encouraging to the Antioquia Team in that we
are establishing a sufficient size potential to have the confidence
to bring into operation our planned exploration tunnel to establish
grade, conduct metallurgy results, calculate resources and move
toward a production scenario in the not too distant future,"
commented Rick Thibault, President and CEO of Antioquia.
Exploration Update
Exploration continued aggressively at Cisneros during the month
of August.
At the end of August the originally contracted 15,000m for 2011
was completed. This brings the total meters drilled at Cisneros, in
just under two years to over 29,000m in 140 drill holes. On August
25 one of the two drills was released. The remaining drill rig will
continue drilling until November 25, 2011, by testing 2 of the 6
regional targets identified in the Cisneros project area, plus it
will be available for additional drilling needs identified during
the compilation of the geology model and resource calculation for
the Guayabito and the various prospects in the Chapulin - Manuela
area.
For the current 15,000m program over 6850 samples were collected
from 65 holes. Results have been reported from about 55% of the
samples. Sample results delays of up to 10 weeks have been
reported.
Surface work continued on the regional target areas of Barreno
and Los Planes with trenching and structural mapping to define
drill targets (refer to press release of July 21, 2011). A LIDAR
topographic survey has been initiated over the entire Cisneros
property with the results expected by the end of September.
The newly constructed core storage and working facility at
Cisneros, on land purchased by the Company, has been opened and the
drill core and pulps from the warehouse in Medellin have
transferred to it. The facility now centralizes all storage,
logging, photography, core cutting and sampling at one secure
location.
Work continues on the exploration tunnel designs and
implementation and also the internal scoping study for a 350 - 500
tonnes per day underground gold operation.
About Antioquia Gold Inc.
Antioquia has been exploring for precious metals in Colombia
since 2007. The Company has a land package of close to 40,000
hectares located throughout Colombia. Antioquia's principal asset,
which is being actively explored, is its 5,630 hectare Cisneros
Project, located 55 kilometers northeast of Medellin in the
Department of Antioquia, Colombia. At the Cisneros Project the
Company has conducted extensive geochemical and geophysical
programs over the entire property and has identified to date six
exploration targets. On the original discovery zone it has drilled
over 29,000 meters and is well versed in the understanding of the
deposit type and the project's path to resource definition and
production.
To ensure reliable sample results Antioquia has a rigorous QA/QC
program in place that monitors the chain of custody of the samples
and includes the insertion of blanks, preparation duplicates, field
duplicates, and certified reference standards in each batch of
samples. Core is photographed and sawed in half with one half
retained in a secured facility for future reference if needed.
Sample preparation (crushing and pulverizing) is performed at
either SGS or ACME laboratories in Medellin, Colombia.
Samples prepared by SGS (Medellin) are direct-shipped to SGS
Laboratories in Lima, Peru or Toronto Canada, both ISO certified
laboratories, for analysis. Samples prepared by ACME (Medellin) are
direct shipped to ACME Laboratories in Vancouver Canada, also an
ISO certified laboratory for analysis. Assay for gold is performed
by fire assay with 30g charge and AAS finish, with a gravimetric
finish for over limit samples.
This press release has been prepared under the supervision of
Brad Van Den Bussche, P. Geol., Vice President of Exploration for
Antioquia Gold Inc. and a Qualified Person as defined by National
Instrument 43-101.
