DuSolo's Pit Opening Program at Bomfim Intersects 4 Meters of 20% P2O5 in a New High-grade Target "Tataco"
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 14, 2014) - DuSolo Fertilizers Inc., (TSX VENTURE:DSF)(PINKSHEETS:ELGSF)(FRANKFURT:E6R) ("DuSolo" or "the Company") is very pleased to announce excellent lab results from a recent pit opening campaign on a newly discovered target-"Tataco" at the Bomfim Project, Tocantins. PIT-TT-01 intersected from surface, 4.00 meters at 10.43% P2O5 including 2 meters at 14.92% P2O5 and remains open at depth. PIT-TT-04 intersected from surface, 6.00 meters at 15.08% P2O5 including 4.00 meters at 20.05% P2O5 which also remains open at depth.
The Tataco Target is located to the north-west of DuSolo's Santiago Target and based on detailed mapping (1:10,000 scale) extends 4km along strike. The distance between the high-grade mineralization (phosphorite) discovered in PIT-TT-01 at the northwest portion of the target and the high grade mineralization discovered in PIT-TT-04 at the southeast portion of the target is 2.5km.
A total of five test pits were opened to date with the best high-grade (>10% P2O5) results shown below:
Pit ID | From (m) | To (m) | Interval length (m) | P2O5 (%) | Observation | |||||
PIT-TT-01 | 0.00 | 4.00 | 4.00 | 10.43 | Phosphorite - Open in depth | |||||
including | 0.00 | 2.00 | 2.00 | 14.92 | From surface | |||||
PIT-TT-04 | 0.00 | 6.00 | 6.00 | 15.08 | Phosphorite - Open in depth | |||||
including | 0.00 | 4.00 | 4.00 | 20.05 | From surface |
The Bomfim Project has now ten (10) targets identified to host both high and lower grade phosphate mineralization. The Initial Resource Estimate based on drilling over limited areas within three (3) of these ten (10) targets combine to a measured and indicated resource estimate of .462Mt @ 11.88% P2O5 and an additional 18.2Mt @ 6.32% P2O5 of inferred resources (using a 3% P2O5 cut-off grade). The Company will include the Tataco target in the upcoming drill campaign planned to commence shortly at Bomfim.
"All the Company's data obtained to date supports our interpretation that the MbAC Fertilizer "Canabrava" deposit and our Santiago and Tataco Targets are connected geologically. With this new discovery the potential in and around Santiago has increased dramatically. The superior grades and location of these two targets along the same strike are very encouraging as they support our assertion that we are in possession of a very important part of the phosphate belt. It is for this reason that we are now very keen to investigate the area further by way of drilling." Commented Paulo Amorim, DuSolo's VP of Exploration.
The Company implements industry recognized QAQC methods at the project. Intertek Laboratories (Intertek) of Sao Paulo Brazil, was used for analytical work reported in this news release. Intertek is part of an international group of certified (ISO 9001:2008) laboratories recognized in industry for geochemical and agricultural testing. Determination of P2O5 was done by Intertek method XR55L which prepared the sample with a lithium tetraborate fusion followed by XRF analysis. Intertek is independent of the Company.
