ROME RESOURCES LTD. OUTLINES A 10 KILOMETER LONG GOLD ANOMALY ON THEIR LA COLORADA GOLD-SILVER PROPERTY,CENTRAL SONORA, MEXICO


ROME RESOURCES LTD. OUTLINES A 10 KILOMETER LONG GOLD ANOMALY ON THEIR LA COLORADA GOLD-SILVER PROPERTY,CENTRAL SONORA, MEXICO

INTRODUCTION

Rome Resources Ltd.’s La Colorada Gold-Silver Property is in central Sonora, Mexico, about 40 kilometers southeast of Hermosillo (Fig. 1). The property is within the famous Sierra Madre Gold-Silver Trend outlined in Figure 1. Rome controls a total of 21,723 hectares in this area that surrounds the currently deactivated La Colorada Gold Mine, which was open pit mined and heap leached by Eldorado Gold (Fig. 2). Rome’s La Colorada Gold-Silver Property is being explored for bulk-tonnage, open-pit-mineable gold-silver deposits.

Figure 1. Rome’s La Colorada Gold-Silver Project,about 40 kilometers southeast of Hermosillo in central Sonora, is within the Sierra Madre Trend of fabulous gold-silver mines. (Rome also holds the Don Luis greisen-porphyry tungsten-gold-molybdenum-copper prospect 45 kilometers northeast of Hermosillo.)

GEOCHEMISTRY AND GEOLOGY

Figure 2 outlines the results of Rome’s recent exploration on the La Colorada Gold-Silver Property that has defined a major geochemical gold anomaly. Regional soil samples, taken at 200 meter spacing on lines 2,000 meters apart, outlines a regional gold anomaly about 10 kilometers long east-west, and one to three kilometers wide north-south. All analyses were by Pioneer Laboratories Inc., Richmond, BC, Canada.

Significant features of this anomaly include: (i) the area of the anomaly is almost completely flat, (ii) overburden covers almost all the area but generally to a depth of only a few meters, (iii) soil gold in the anomalous area is all greater than 50 ppb but has a core that is greater than 100 ppb, (iv) locally [stars in Fig. 2] soil values of more than 3 grams per tonne [3 ppm] occur, (v) the gold anomalies are coincident with, or adjacent to, molybdenum and copper anomalies in soil samples, (vi) anomalous areas are marked by red soil, local ferricrete and local phyllic-altered granitic float, (vii) the east-west trend, and molybdenum and copper associations mimics the structural vein-fault trend and associated mineralization at the La Colorada Mine.

CONCLUSIONS

The gold anomaly on Rome’s La Colorada Gold-Silver Property has the same geochemical fingerprint and structural trend as gold mineralization at the La Colorada Mine. The anomaly is large but defined currently only by regional sampling. Detailed geochemical gridding and follow-up with geophysics is predicated. Several anomalous areas tightly defined by this follow-up program could be large enough to indicate potential mineable deposits. Such areas would merit drill testing.
