Salazar Intersects 5.3 m at 32 g/t Gold, 321 g/t Silver, 1.0% Copper, 5.0% Lead and 10.0% Zinc
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/02/10 -- Salazar Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: SRL)(FRANKFURT: CCG) - Mr. Fredy Salazar, President and CEO, is pleased to announce that the latest assay results from two diamond drill holes at El Domo in the Las Naves Central area of its Curipamba Volcanic Hosted Massive Sulphide Project in Ecuador have expanded the southern mineralization boundary of the deposit by approximately 100 m.
'The El Domo deposit has now reached a continuous strike length of approximately 650 m and is still open to the south east towards another high priority drilling target,' says Fredy Salazar, President and CEO. 'In addition to the continued expansion of the deposit to the south east, we are particularly excited by the presence of the outstanding precious metals values in DDH 69 that averaged 32 g/t gold and 321 g/t silver over more than 5 meters. It is also noteworthy that similar values have been reported in surface grab samples taken approximately 250 meters to the north west of El Domo. We will continue our program to delineate the deposit in all directions and will shortly start to drill test adjacent targets around the flanks of the El Domo intrusive.'
Diamond drill holes (DDH) Curi-10-69 and Curi-10-70 are located in the south eastern portion of the deposit (see Figure 1: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/SRLmap.gif) and the most significant results were as follow:
-- Curi-10-69 intersected 5.34 meters of high grade mineralization
averaging 31.87 g/t gold, 321.05 g/t silver, 1.01% copper, 5.02% lead
and 10.03% zinc
-- Curie 10-70 intersected 8.36 meters at 0.44 g/t gold and 2.28% zinc
within a mineralized zone approximately 38 meters thick
Curi-10-69 (a re-drill of Curi-10-55 that was abandoned short of its target depth) was drilled at 90 degrees strike on section 5100 N with -60 degree dip and a length of 143.70 m. Curi-10-70 was drilled 270 degrees strike on section 4900 N with -85 degree dip and a length of 221.80 m. The following table provides a summary of the significant intersections of each drill hole:

The October drilling program has focussed on the extension of the El Domo mineralization to the north and south. While this work will continue into November, several drill holes are planned to test the first two of several high priority anomalous areas located adjacent to the El Domo deposit. The first is located 200 m to the north-east of the known El Domo deposit, and the second approximately 350 meters to the south-east of El Domo. Both these areas have similar geophysical characteristics of chargeability and resistivity as the main El Domo deposit and also appear to be in the same stratigraphic horizon. Additionally, geochemical analyses of soil samples in both areas have shown unusually high values of indicator elements that often provide a primary halo affect in the close proximity of significant ore deposits.
The above information has been prepared under the supervision of Tom Healy P.Eng. who is designated as a Qualified Person as defined by NI-43-101 with the ability and authority to verify the authenticity and validity of the data.
A QC program was used whereby 5% of all samples sent to the laboratory were standard samples with known silver and gold values. Sample preparation was performed by BSI Inspectorate Quito, Ecuador, using standard industry practices (sample prep minus 32). Analytical work was carried out at the BSI Inspectorate Laboratory in Lima, Peru, using fire assay methods for gold (Au-25 procedure). Standard samples, blanks and duplicate check samples were randomly inserted to the sample batch to ensure quality control.
