From Jul 2019 to Jul 2024
In March 2008 Amarillo announced a preliminary economic assessment on the deposit which indicated robust economics at gold prices better than $650/ounce. This drilling followed on from that work and was designed primarily to fill in 50 metre or greater gaps in the Posse ore block model below the $800/oz open pit shell developed from this scoping study. Positive results beneath this shell have the potential to widen the shell to incorporate these results next time the ore body is modeled, thus adding ounces to the resource. Other holes were targeted to infill data gaps within the shell, the best intersection being in hole MRP-0002 which intersected 60 metres (est. true width 42.4m) at 2.19 g/t Au. All of the 14 drill holes hit mineralization and the information gathered by this drilling will allow for more certainty in the next ore resource/reserve estimate.
Figure 1, depicts the location of the drill holes in relation to the Posse Pits and previous drill collars. Please follow this link to view the release with image:- www.amarillogold.com
Table 2 is also provided to show the influence of higher grade intervals, it lists all the returned grades of 5 g/t Au.
Drill holes MRP0001 and 0002 drilled in the core of the deposit and return typical results for this part of the orebody. Drillholes MRP0003 to MRP0008 were drilled in the zone between the old North and South pits. Any gold found in this area has the potential to expand the $800/ounce open pit shell which shallows in this area. Drillholes MRP0009, MRP0010 and MRP0013 were drilled to the south and below the open pit shell and the gold found in these holes is encouraging. Drill MRP009 intercepted a post mineralized diabase dyke that cuts the orebody North to South, future ore modeling will incorporate the effects of this dyke, which constitutes a minor barren zone. The remaining holes, MRP0011, MRP0012 and MRP0014 were drilled below the shell on the periphery of the plunge of the main orebody.
The Company also conducted a review of the geology of the deposit by re-logging key historic drill holes. This work recognized two main ore types that can be split into hanging wall or foot wall. Samples of these ore types have been collected for an extensive metallurgical testing program which the Company plans to undertake as the first phase of a 43-101 compliant prefeasibility study.

Notes: All drill hole samples shown here consist of split NQ diamond drill
core. The samples were sent to Acme Laboratories in Goiania, Brazil, and
Vancouver, Canada. Gold is determined using fire assay using 50g aliquots
with an ICP finish.; For drill holes 13 and 14 only ICP gold was determined
in order to lower costs, previous work shows the ICP average within 6% of
the fire assay results. All samples are subject to a chain of custody and
are submitted with standards and blanks to check the assay results. The
laboratories also use internal standards and repeat analysis. For the
results reported in this release all the standards, blanks and repeats
delivered acceptable results. Intercepts were calculated using a minimum of
a 0.5 g/t cut off where any one sample point lies within a 5m intersection
averaging at least 0.5 g/t Au. (ii)For surface intersections, all of which
are in oxides, a 0.3 g/t Au cut-off is used.
