The Company is pleased to announce the commencement of an initial diamond drill program of the Shajinba Zone on its 100% owned Yejiaba property, part of the Longnan Project, located in Gansu Province. The drill program consists of five holes for a total of 2,000 meters of core drilling, and is designed to test the zone of gold mineralization discovered by the Company in 2010 (please see the company's October 13, 2010 Release).
Mineralization is structurally controlled by a thrust fault that localizes main concentrations of gold, though there are narrower zones in its footwall. The surface trace of the zone has been trenched out at approximately 50 meters spacing in 2010. Shape of the zone at depth was defined by induced polarization (IP) survey which was also completed in 2010. Maximum depth of investigation was approximately 550 meters. Results of IP survey further convinced in significant scale of gold mineralization at Yejiaba property and were used in designing of the drill program. The program will include the deployment of two drill rigs to complete drilling over a two month period. The assay results will be made available upon receipt and review of the same.
The Company is continuing with its global search and evaluation of suitable gold projects for inclusion in its property portfolio.
Mr. Dwayne Melrose, P.Geo. Vice President Exploration for Minco Gold, has reviewed this news release and is the Qualified Person responsible for verification and quality assurance of the company's exploration data and analytical results.
