IGRU International Gold Resources Inc (CE)

International Gold Resources Inc. ("IGR") (OTCBB:IGRU) is pleased to announce that work has commenced on its Porto Grange project in Amapa State, Brazil. IGR Porto Grange claims block encompasses 55,000 hectares (135,000 acres) within the Vila Nova- Serra do Navio greenstones of Paleo-Proterozoic age in the southeast part of the Guiana Shield. This assemblage of the sedimentary, exhalative, and intrusive rock, is common with similar belts elsewhere in the Guiana Shield of Brazil, the Guainas, and Venezuela. These local greenstones historically have contained significant gold mineralization: in the Serra do Navio area, other mine companies include GoldCorp's Amapari Mine, with production plus reserves of 1.6 million oz, and the Santa Maria Mine currently being explored by Eldorado Gold. A world-class manganese deposit and significant chromite deposits also occur within the belt. IGR's contiguous claim block within the greenstone belt is midway between the Amapari and Santa Maria Mines. The existence of an east-west-trending regional "break" through the claim block is suspected and if confirmed, could have important metallogenic implications. IGR have commenced a comprehensive program of geological, geochemical and geophysical assessment of the gold potential within the claim block. The claim block is bisected by a road, and by the still-operative railroad, which served the former manganese mine. About International Gold Resources, Inc.
