24.01.2013 | Marketwire
Results include: 56.6m grading 1.38 g/t Au and 6.20m grading 8.18 g/t AuVANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/24/13 -- Edgewater Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: EDW)(OTCQX: EDWZF) ("Edgewater" or the "Company") is pleased to report it has now received final assay results from the in-fill diamond drilling program on the Company's 100% owned Corcoesto Gold Project, Galicia, Northwest Spain.
George Salamis, President and CEO stated: "Over the past twelve months we have consistently released results from the infill drilling program at Corcoesto that met or exceeded our expectations in terms of intersected widths and grades, with a number of gold zones returning longer widths and better grades than anticipated (see Edgewater press release March 29, 2012 which included 66.5 m grading 2.00 g/t Au). The In-fill drilling results continue to demonstrate excellent grade and continuity of the gold mineralization at Corcoesto and all 50,000 m of infill drilling will be included in an updated NI 43-101 Resource Estimate being prepared by Tetra Tech which is scheduled to be completed during Q1 this year. The Tetra Tech Feasibility Study for Corcoesto will be completed in early Q2/2013."
Highlights of recent drilling results are tabulated below and include: 56.60 m grading 1.38 g/t Au (DDH 12W271), 15.90 m grading 2.04 g/t Au (DDH 12W273) and 6.20 m grading 8.18 g/t Au (DDH 12W261).
