AuRo Resources Provides El Tesoro Pre-Drill Campaign Update
January 13 2011 - 9:13AM
Marketwired
AuRo Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE: ARU) (the "Company") provides
today an update on its flagship El Tesoro gold project in the
Department of Antioquia, Colombia.
AuRo recently completed a detailed soil geochemical program over
an area of approximately 1.1 km by 2.2 km. Given the proximity,
similar and distinct geology of El Tesoro and B2 Gold/AngloGold's
2.4 Million Oz Au Gramalote project, the Company will now be
utilizing a comparable exploration strategy, and immediately
following up on any potentially anomalous areas with deeper soil
samples, prior to drill testing any potential targets. AuRo expects
to release initial results from its soil geochemical program
imminently.
Mark Lawson, President & CEO of AuRo, stated: "Given the
unique climate and geology in Colombia in many areas such as
Antioquia the host rock often turns to clay, and the clay is so
acidic it leaches all metals which then migrate down to the
saprolite horizon. Since the geology is similar to that of B2
Gold/AngloGold's Gramalote Project, where deeper geochemical
exploration was successful, we will exploit this new opportunity by
also undertaking deeper soil samples."
