VANCOUVER, Jan. 27, 2014 /CNW/ - Cosigo Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: CSG) today announced the receipt of assay results from fifteen reverse-circulation drill holes on its Machado project in southeastern Colombia.
Highlight intercepts include:
- 17.19 g/t Au over 3.04m from 68.58m down hole depth in drill hole13MR007, which ended in mineralization
- 2.53 g/t Au over 13.72m from 9.14m down hole depth in drill hole13MR018, which successfully intersected metasedimentary strata historically targeted by artisanal gold producers
- 8.32 g/t Au over 1.52m from 44.19m down hole depth in drill hole 13MR011
"Machado is a 35 km long ridge and part of a district-scale metasedimentary system. We are very encouraged by the results to date, which indicate that the Machado property is underlain by several zones of stratabound gold mineralization." stated Dennis Milburn, President and CEO of Cosigo.
Assay results have now been had for 17 of the 20 drill holes drilled by Cosigo on the Machado project in 2013. Results for the remaining three drill holes are expected shortly.

Complete results with maps and sections of the drill holes will be available within the next few days on the Cosigo website (www.cosigo.com).
In addition to gold fire assays, multi-element analysis was carried out on Cosigo's drill samples. The gold and multi-element data, as well as geological information from the drill holes, will be interpreted by Cosigo's technical team in order to guide the Company's exploration efforts.
