Golden Reign Drills 21.3 Metres Grading 7.20 g/t Gold and 14.2 g/t Silver, Including 5.0 Metres of 28.45 g/t Gold and 53.7 g/t Silver
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sep 11, 2013) - Golden Reign Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:GRR) (the "Company" or "Golden Reign") is pleased to announce drill results from the Intermediate Area in the Southern District of its San Albino-Murra Gold Property (the "Property"), located in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua.
Drilling initiated in July 2013 targeted potentially open-pittable resources by testing the down-dip extension of near-surface, high-grade mineralization intersected initially by trenching (see attached map).
Highlights from diamond drilling include:
- INT13-01 2.5 metres averaging 15.69 g/t gold and 15.5 g/t silver
- INT13-02 3.0 metres averaging 3.39 g/t gold and 10.3 g/t silver
- INT13-03 21.3 metres averaging 7.20 g/t gold and 14.2 g/t silver
including 5.0 metres averaging 28.45 g/t gold and 53.7 g/t silver
The true-width mineralized intersections are within approximately 55 metres vertical depth from surface. A detailed table of results is attached.
The Intermediate Area is one of four near-surface, high-grade mineralized zones outlined by trenching. Situated 1.5 kilometres south of the Company's San Albino Gold Deposit, it has a current strike length of approximately 1.0 kilometre, remaining open along strike in both directions and down-dip. A comprehensive trenching program consisting of 13 trenches across 417 metres was completed in 2011. Highly-mineralized intercepts, as previously reported, in trenches INT11-TR-01 through INT11-TR-04 were targeted for drilling in 2013.
Highlights from trenching include:
- INT11-TR-01 8.2 metres averaging 20.64 g/t gold and 26.87 g/t silver
including 5.2 metres averaging 28.69 g/t gold and 38.8 g/t silver
- INT11-TR-02 8.0 metres averaging 4.37 g/t gold, minor silver
including 3.0 metres averaging 8.83 g/t gold, minor silver
and 5.0 metres averaging 9.44 g/t gold and 9.9 g/t silver
and 1.0 metre averaging 32.87 g/t gold and 51.5 g/t silver
- INT11-TR-03 12.8 metres averaging 16.05 g/t gold and 9.9 g/t silver
including 3.0 metres averaging 40.97 g/t gold and 23.7 g/t silver
and 1.8 metres averaging 42.33 g/t gold and 15.9 g/t silver
- INT11-TR-04 1.0 metre averaging 4.52 g/t gold, minor silver
and 2.0 metres averaging 3.11 g/t gold and 9.1 g/t silver
Other highlights from trenching completed in country rock:
- INT11-TR-01 2.0 metres averaging 26.89 g/t gold and 35.7 g/t silver
and 2.0 metres averaging 9.76 g/t gold and 8.95 g/t silver
- INT11-TR-02 9.0 metres averaging 4.16 g/t gold and 4.4 g /t silver
- INT11-TR-03 4.0 metres averaging 2.70 g/t gold and 1.5 g/t silver
and 2.0 metres averaging 10.76 g/t gold and 12.5 g/t silver
vertical samples returned gold values in a range from 1.02 to 3.15 g/t gold
- INT11-TR-04 1.0 metre averaging 4.52 g/t gold and 0.9 g/t silver

Two voids, from 29.4 to 30.4 metres and 31.8 to 33.3 metres, result from historical workings. If the two voids are not omitted the mineralized zone is 18.8 metres of 8.15 g/t gold and 16.1 g/t silver.

A small interval of 0.9 metres grading 1.13 g/t gold and 1.9 g/t silver was recorded. In the footwall of the old workings a 0.7 metre interval returned 0.52 g/t gold and 1.7 g/t silver. Two additional mineralized intervals were intersected: 1.1 metres of 1.70 g/t gold and 2.6 g/t silver; and, 1.1 metres of 1.03 g/t gold and 13.7 g/t silver. | ||||||
