Rome Resources Ltd. announces additional induced polarization geophysical results on the Don Luis Tungsten-Gold Greisen-Porphyry property, northern Sonora, Mexico

INTRODUCTION

Rome Resources Ltd’s Don Luis Tungsten-Gold Greisen-Porphyry Property is in northern Sonora, Mexico, about 45 kilometers north of Hermosillo (Fig. 1). It is in the municipality of Ures. Rome holds a total of 3,400 hectares by: (i) option of 300 hectares from Sr. Luis Ayala Barragan (News Release of August 13th 2007), and (ii) application for 3,100 hectares by Roma Recursos de S.A. de C.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Rome (News Release of November 15th 2007).

This News Release report announces additional induced polarization geophysical results on the Don Luis Tungsten-Gold Greisen-Porphyry Property by Pacific Geophysical Ltd. of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Preliminary geophysical results were in Rome’s News Release of February 6th 2008. Publication of analyses for tungsten and gold from two trenches on the property were in Rome’s News Release of November 19th 2007.

EXPLORATION TARGET

Rome’s Don Luis Tungsten-Gold Property is being explored as a bulk-tonnage, open-pit-mineable tungsten-gold prospect. Locally, areas encountered in the trenches are high grade, but overall, an open-pit low-grade deposit is being targeted.

Positive, and often unique, features of the Don Luis Tungsten-Gold Property include: (i) a large area of abundant World War II dry-placers for tungsten that was strategic during that time, (ii) unique greisen hosted mineralization that covers a large area, (iii) association of greisen with quartz porphyry over an area about three kilometers east-west by one kilometer north-south [Fig. 2], (iv) scheelite and wolframite tungsten mineralization associated with gold, (v) encouraging tungsten and gold geochemistry in regional sampling, (vi) significant gold and tungsten values in preliminary trenching [Fig. 2 & News Release of November 19th 2007], (vii) gold and the tungsten minerals wolframite and scheelite in panned concentrates, (viii) locally, visible gold in veins, (ix) abundant gold and tungsten in skarns common to this part of Sonora indicating a significant gold-tungsten district, (x) currently high and rising prices for tungsten and gold, (xi) easy access and generally subdued topography, and (xii) close proximity to several small villages and the major capital of Sonora at Hermosillo (Fig. 1).

Specifically, the Don Luis prospect is only 47.5 km south of Creston Moly’s Creston deposit. The famous Cananea copper mine is about 150 km north of Don Luis.

The east-west trend of poorly magnetic granite-porphyry-greisen and lapilli tuffs between more magnetic felsic ignimbritic volcanic rocks is supported by the analogous low belt in the magnetics of Figure 3. Coordinates are UTM Nad27 Mexico, zone 12R.

RESULTS FROM THE MAGNETOMETER AND INDUCED POLARIZATION GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS

Figure 3. Magnetic low belt marks prospective areas of weakly magnetic granite-porphyry and greisen (cf. Fig. 2). Data has been reduced to the pole and upward continued for five meters. Color scheme for contours is rainbow (violet low & red high).

The magnetometer and induced polarization survey was conducted on all six north-south lines and on the one east-west line, as shown in Figure 2. Results of the magnetometer survey are in Figure 3. The induced polarization survey is presented in Figures 4 to 9 and summarized in Figure 10.

The magnetic survey in Figure 3 has been reduced to the pole and upward continued for five meters. This survey indicates that an east-west trending magnetic low belt marks prospective areas of weakly magnetic granite-porphyry and greisen (cf. Fig. 2).

The induced polarization survey is displayed with inverted data for chargeability and resistivity in Figures 4 to 9. Interpretation of the north-south Line 5359850 East, and the east-west Line 3261500 North is presented in Figures 4 to 7. A plan view of the chargeability and resistivity at a depth of 225 meters (-225) is shown in Figures 8 and 9. The inverted data shows a 600-800 meter wide zone of increased resistivity values accompanied by increased chargeability effects. Typically a narrower zone of higher magnitude chargeability occurs in the center of the most anomalous zone, and this is generally coincident with a narrower zone of lower resistivity values. The most concentrated source material seems to extend deeper on western lines, while very polarizable material appears to be concentrated near the surface on Line 535100 East. The high chargeability is clearly associated with sulfides, which although not apparent in the surface trenches are probably represented by the very red soil cut in the trenches. Speculatively, gold might be more closely associated with the resistivity anomaly; tungsten, on the other hand, might be related to the chargeability anomaly. There appears to be a down dropped block underlying the northern ends of the lines.

CONCLUSIONS

The chargeability induced polarization anomalies described in Figures 4 to 7 are summarized in Figure 10. This figure is a plan map showing the central greisen (with grey pattern and grey border) overlain by inverted induced polarization chargeability contours (value = 10) at elevations -125 meters (blue) and -325 meters (red), which can be compared to the intermediate contours at -225 meters (green) in Figure 8. Note that the chargeability anomaly at value 10 is circular, 700 to 800 meters in diameter, and plunges steeply to the west to a depth greater than 400 meters (Figs. 4 to 7). The large size and intensity of this anomaly reflects large tonnage potential to significant sulfide mineralization.

Rome currently is focusing on this ongoing Don Luis Tungsten-Gold Greisen-Porphyry Project in an effort to develop tonnage and define tungsten and gold grades suitable for open-pit mining. Exploration to date has provided significant results from early exploration using geology, geochemical sampling, preliminary trenching and a detailed induced polarization survey. The geophysical induced polarization and magnetometer surveys described here are part of Rome’s systematic exploration program on this property. Additional reporting will follow further analysis of the soil geochemical data. Following this, a drill program will be proposed for early 2008.
