HALIFAX, Oct. 4, 2012 /CNW/ - GoGold Resources Inc. (TSXV: GGD), is pleased to announce new drilling results from the Chispa De Oro target within the company's San Diego Project in Durango, Mexico. Hole GGS-035 intercepted 70 meters of 130.8 g/t AgEq46 (0.42 g/t gold, 111.5 g/t silver) plus 1.08% copper (starting just 10.35 meters from surface), 22.0 meters of 109.2 g/t AgEq (0.28 g/t Au, 96.3 g/t Ag) plus 3.37% copper was included in the same intercept. Exploration efforts continue to target and further define other high grade areas throughout the San Diego Project with accelerated drilling at Chispa South.
Chispa South Target
The Chispa South Target located within the larger Chispa De Oro 3.5 kilometer mineralized zone has returned significant drill results from an intrusive quartz diorite and injection breccia which is believed to be part of the porphyry system. The breccia and the quartz diorite intrusive are exposed on surface and drilling to date within these rock units has indicated wide intervals of significant silver, gold, and copper grades as shown below.

(See: Table 1 - new results and Table 3 - previously released for details)
- GGS-18: 74.45 meters of 86.94 g/t AgEq and 53.9 meters of 1.25% copper
- GGS-19: 94 meters of 55 g/t AgEq and 65.6 meters of 0.45% copper
- GGS-20: 50 meters of 177.10 g/t AgEq and 14 meters of 1.07 % copper
- GGS-032: 124.3 meters of 51.98 g/t AgEq PLUS 0.34% copper
- GGS-033: 92.1 meters of 36.8 g/t AgEq PLUS 0.55% copper
- GGS-035: 70.1 meters of 130.8 g/t AgEq PLUS 1.08% copper
President's Comments
"We are very encouraged by the grade and the width of the intervals at Chispa South and further drill holes will be released as they become available. We are accelerating the work at this target as we interpret the current drilling to be extremely encouraging."
The company has added an additional drill rig focused on determining the size of the significantly mineralized target at Chispa South. The drilling indicates that the breccia and the quartz dioritic targets within the porphyry environment mentioned above are increasing in volume with additional drilling. The current focus of the company on the overall San Diego Project is one of target generation and discovery drilling outside of Chispa South as well as resource definition drilling at the Chispa South target.

The San Diego project claim group covers a 35 km x 10 km corridor of gold, silver and copper showings and alteration zones which may be related to underlying porphyry systems in the area. A detailed ground geophysical program has been completed and interpretation is being implemented to better define and direct future exploration on these targets.

Core Samples
The core was either HQ or NQ in size in the surface holes. Holes were started at the larger HQ size and reduced to NQ if necessary. The drilling crew boxes the core and GoGold employees transport it to the core shack. In the core shack the core is geologically logged with sample lengths indicated. When the sample lengths are determined the core is split using an impact splitter with one half of the core being bagged and tagged for assay. The other half is returned to the core trays for storage.
Lab Preparation
The sealed and tagged sample bags are turned over to ActLabs personnel at the site who transport them to the ActLabs sample preparation facility in Zacatecas, Mexico. ActLabs crushes the samples and prepares 200-300 gram pulp samples. Ninety percent of the pulp will pass Tyler 150 mesh (106μm). The pulps are sent to ActLabs in Canada for analysis for Au/Ag fire assays with a gravimetric finish and ICP-41 for all the other elements. This process is expected to continue as additional drill core continues to arrive.
