AM GOLD DEMONSTRATES LARGE VOLUMES OF GOLD-BEARING ROCK THROUGH EXTENSIVE DRILLING ON RED MOUNTAIN DOME, YUKON TERRITORY, CANADA
AM GOLD DEMONSTRATES LARGE VOLUMES OF GOLD-BEARING ROCK THROUGH EXTENSIVE DRILLING ON RED MOUNTAIN DOME, YUKON TERRITORY, CANADA
AM GOLD INC. (TSXV: AMG; FRANKFURT: AMX) (“AM Gold” or the "Company") has demonstrated through its 2010-2011 drill programs, that Red Mountain is comprised of an extensive gold-mineralized Tombstone intrusive rock complex enveloped by a carapace-like zone of altered sedimentary rocks which are also mineralized with gold. The Company has established the potential for extensive tonnages of material extending to depth from surface that will require additional drilling to delineate its overall distribution.
Red Mountain is a dome rising 500 meters above the surrounding valley elevation of 1,000 meters. Geological, geophysical and geochemical data together with 16,572 meters of drilling in 61 diamond drill holes to date show that much of Red Mountain is prospective for gold mineralization. A volume of prospective rock measuring 3.5 by 2 kilometers in surface extent and extending to at least 500 meters depth has been established from the geological and geochemical data framework. Geophysical data indicates the intrusive rock forms the core of the dome extending to over 1000 meters in depth. The prospective intrusive host rock is interpreted to comprise a volume potentially exceeding 5 cubic kilometers.
This news release includes a comprehensive tabulation summarizing the previously disclosed intervals identified from the completed 2010 and 2011 diamond drill holes – all of which exhibit gold mineralization. In total, the Company drilled 35 holes at Red Mountain in 2010 and 2011. The results from the 35 drill holes were disclosed in the Company’s news releases dated October 5, 2010, October 25, 2010, November 4, 2010, November 16, 2010, November 30, 2010, November 22, 2010, September 12, 2011, October 3, 2011, November 21, 2011 and January 11, 2012, copies of such news releases are available under the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. A chart summarizing a comprehensive list of all the holes drilled by the Company to date at Red Mountain will be posted on the Company website at www.amgold.ca.
The Company expects to file an updated National Instrument 43-101 technical report for its Red Mountain property in the first Quarter of 2012. The updated technical report is expected to incorporate the results from the Company’s 2011 drill program. The current inferred mineral resource estimate for Red Mountain is 79 M tonnes @ 0.52 g/t gold containing 1.32 M troy ounces of gold, utilizing a cut-off grade of 0.2 g/t gold (see the Company’s news release of December 2, 2010 for the first time disclosure of the inferred resource estimate).
Significant Intervals from the 2010 & 2011 Diamond Drill Holes 2010 to 2011 – 12,043 metres: http://www.irw-press.com/dokumente/AMG_Tables_240112.pdf
All sample preparation and fire assaying work was performed by Eco Tech Laboratory Limited (“Eco Tech”) in Kamloops, British Columbia. Eco Tech is an ISO 9001:2008 accredited laboratory and subsidiary of the Stewart Group of worldwide laboratories, now owned and operated by ALS. Initial fire assay with atomic absorption finish is completed for all samples. Those samples running greater than 1g/t Au are automatically rerun. Those samples assaying in excess of 3g/t Au are rerun using a gravimetric finish. In addition to the internal laboratory controls, the Company inserts two revolving standards in 3% of the samples, inserts blanks in 4% of the samples, and a duplicate sample is re-split every tenth sample. Results reported herein have been checked and have undergone quality control review.
