Results for First Six Holes of Reverse Circulation Drilling on the West Zone of Rome's Don Luis Property, Sonora, Mexico

25/05/2011 1:11am

Marketwired Canada


Rome Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:RMR) (FRANKFURT:33R) is pleased to announce
gold and silver grades encountered in the first six reverse circulation (RC)
holes on the West Zone of the Don Luis Greisen-Porphyry Silver-Gold-Tungsten
Property, Sonora, Mexico. This property is about 45 km north-northeast of
Hermosillo, the capital of Sonora. The West Zone has major tonnage potential
because it is represented by an anomalous zone more than 500 meters in diameter
and more than 400 meters deep. The target is a large open-pit mine for low grade
silver, gold and tungsten. The objective of the drilling program is to determine
grades of silver, gold, tungsten, molybdenum and lead in this zone. Silver and
gold grades are reported here. Tungsten, molybdenum and lead, analyzed by
in-house X-Ray fluorescence, occur in important but not formally reportable,
quantities. The program is ongoing.


Silver and gold grades, detailed in the Appendix, are calculated for the six RC
holes totaling 580.5 meters of which, due to minor sample loss, only 573.0
meters were assayed. Recovery, also reported in the Appendix, is poor due to the
difficult ground conditions; the impact of this on the assay grades is not
known. Gold and silver analyses were done by Pioneer Laboratories Inc. of
Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. In summary (see Tables A1 and A2 in the
Appendix for details):




1.  Silver (Table A1), using a cutoff of 6 grams per tonne (gpt), yielded
    342 meters averaging 12.3 gpt; the maximum value encountered was 55 gpt.
    Good intersections include holes DLS11RC001 and 003 that intersected
    63.0 meters of 15.0 gpt and 81.0 meters of 12.9 gpt silver,
    respectively. 
2.  Gold (Table A2), using a cutoff of 0.05 gpt, yielded 223.5 meters
    averaging 0.174 gpt. The maximum value encountered was 6.12 gpt. Hole
    DLS11RC004 intersected 43.5 meters of 0.278 gpt gold. 



All mineralization is in a highly oxidized cap-rock of intensely muscovite
altered porphyry or greisen. Consequently, the mineralization is: (i) in rock
with a low "work index", and (ii) the gold and silver appear to be amenable to
bulk heap leaching. Silver appears to be concentrated in manganese rich
horizons, the distribution of which is being evaluated. Gold is associated with
locally significant quantities of quartz. Because we have just started our RC
drilling program, mineralization is open in all directions and at depth.

APPENDIX A 

TABLE A1. Silver results for DLS11RC001 to 006 from the West Zone of the Don
Luis Property, Sonora, Mexico. Black entries used a cutoff of 6 gpt and red
(including) entries used a cutoff of 12 gpt. Total length of RC holes is 580.5
m; 573.0 m was assayed due to minor sample loss. Data was reduced using the
Discover Module in MapInfo.
