PR Newswire (US)
NEW YORK, May 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Corumel Minerals Corp.
(OTC:CORU) (BULLETIN BOARD: CORU) announced today that an
independent geological study has validated the presence of
"deposits well worth mining" in three regions of the Central
African Republic in which Corumel holds exclusive
mineral-exploration licenses. The preliminary report-"Bossoui Base
Lobaye- Gold: Diamond and Gold in the Republic of Central Africa
(Lobaye District)"-is co-authored by Prof. Dr. Tony Van Autenboer
and Chris Cammaer of Studiecentrum Limburg voor Milieu, Geologie en
Veiligheid, Belgium. The report highlights five key criteria
related to Corumel's opportunity: (1) well-sorted and heavily
weathered gravel deposits in the three regions are evidence of
mineralized rocks; (2) the irregular profile of the bottom of these
gravel deposits suggests the accumulation of heavy minerals; (3)
the minerals within these gravel deposits are indicators of the
presence of diamonds and gold; (4) mining at greater depth,
underneath the gravel deposits, suggests "worthwhile mining;" (5)
one year of study done by the company with, for example, sampling
of seven tons of gravel shows an average diamond concentration of
0.24 carat/ton (alluvial deposit), 0.46 carat/ton (basement rock),
and 3 to 4.5 grams/ton of gold. Corumel's mining operations will
begin at the location near the city of Bossoui and along the river
Giulingala, covering an area of more than 1,368 square miles.
"Industrial mining for minerals in the Central African Republic is
not new," said Prof. Dr. Tony Van Autenboer. "However, the last
mine closed down a long time ago due to an unstable regime.
Nowadays, conditions in this country are different: the Republic
shows to be stable, the people have confidence in their leaders,
and the monetary system is strong. Given that our geological study
shows all the signs of deposits that are well worth mining, the
economic perspective is good." "Although the results are
preliminary, we are nonetheless quite pleased by this independent
report," added Chris Roth, President and CEO of Corumel Minerals
Corp., "and we intend to commence full-scale industrial mining
operations very soon." http://www.corumel.com/ "Safe Harbor"
