"We are extremely pleased to have David conducting this
fundamental segment of our project. He is highly skilled, and well
known for his level of expertise. In addition to a number of basic
preparations underway, we have a crew preparing our living quarters
and kitchen, equipped with a pipeline, ranging about a mile and a
half in length, to furnish our water supply for our living quarters
and wash plant. Everything is beginning to really come together,
and we will be updating our investors as events continue to take
shape," stated Chris Tarquino, Chief Executive Officer, Osceola
Gold Inc.
Osceola Gold recently announced that the Company has
successfully completed its advanced satellite subsurface GeoScan
evaluation, with results that revealed gold saturation in both
target areas tested. Based on data derived through satellite deep
scanning of the areas tested on the Mav g property, the first
hotspot revealed an average of 5 - 8 grams per ton was discovered
in terrain from 0 to 78 feet deep. The second hot spot which runs
from surface to 13 feet deep on an average, revealed 15 grams or
higher and two pay streaks underneath averaging 4 to 8 grams per
ton.
Mining in the Osceola District, White Pine County, Nevada, was
launched in the 1870's and continues to this day. Major efforts
were put forth in the late 1800s, 1930s and 1970s with both lode
and placer mining striking success with the removal of considerable
amounts of gold. Studies conducted throughout these periods
indicate economically viable amounts of gold in both the bedrock
and in particular, the placer deposits that remain. For more
