Pershimco Drills 82 m of Sulfides at 0,51% Cu Equiv on LaPava East Including m of 1.64% Cu
The short reverse circulation drill hole PRH94196 has been extended by diamond drill hole PDH11022 on the south flank of the eastern wing of the LaPava deposit. Intervals are detailed in the table included.
The first 72 meters of gold oxides reported at surface returned a grade of 0.39g/t Au followed by 82 meters of 0.51% Cu equivalent including a higher interval of 8 meters of 1.64% copper and 0.26g/t Au. Constant gold mineralization is still present at dept within the copper which also remains steady. The success of the RC drilling at LaPava Target could have a significant and positive impact on the mineral resources in the gold oxide zone as Pershimco continue to increase its knowledge on the sulfides copper-gold system. Lab results of 10 drill holes of 2011 are still pending.
2012 Additional Equipments:
Pershimco has recently signed two additional drill rigs which are being mobilized to Panama for its upcoming 30,000 meters drilling program bringing the total to 4 rigs exploring the property for 2012. As Pershimco is progressing with IP geophysics steadily on the western area of the 17Km mineralized trend (the Corridor), the Society will take advantage of the upcoming months to fly over clear skies an airborne geophysics covering the whole Corridor giving additional information's and targets.
Pershimco still focus on upgrading its 43-101 resources calculation in early 2012 as well as continuing its sustainable development within the surrounding communities. Strong relationship between Cerro Quema's workers and the community as been key to the success of the operations in 2011 on this fully permitted extraction concession.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control ('QA/QC')
Core from the diamond and RC drill holes are transported by Pershimco technical personnel from the drill sites to the Cerro Quema Core Shack. There, qualified geologists and technicians log, sample tag and half-split the core in 1 metre lengths using stationary saws. Individual sampled intervals of half-split core are then inserted in tagged and sealed plastic bags, and sent to the Activation Laboratories (Actlabs) sample preparation facilities in Panama. Individual samples are inventoried by Actlabs personnel, dried, finely crushed to 70% at less than 2 mm, then pulverized to 85% at less than 75 um, and riffle-split to 150 grams. One standard, one Duplicate and one Blank are inserted every 15 samples. Prepared samples are then inserted in sealed 5-gallon plastic pails then shipped by courier services to the Activation Laboratories main facilities in Ancaster (Ontario, Canada) for assaying using the Multi-element ICP Method and the Pyro-analysis Method with Atomic Absorption Finish for Gold, Silver and Copper. Re-assays are done on samples with results greater than to 2.5 g/t Gold and greater than 10,000 ppm Copper.
