Note: Assay results from Holes VVGD-003 and VVGD-004 are still pending. The width reported above represents the core width of the intercepts, true widths are expected to range between 85-95% of the core width.
The holes were drilled at the Ouro Verde deposit (see location map below) and the results confirm the extension the known mineralized zones for at least an additional 50 m down dip (see vertical sections below).
Verena has completed approximately 2,500 meters (9 holes) of the currently approved 15,000 meter program. Verena plans to initiate diamond drilling at the Gameleira target which is a possible NW extension of the Ouro Verde and Grota Seca deposits in the near future. Three drill rigs are currently at the site.
In addition to the drilling, a mining trade off study for the Ouro Verde deposit and an initial environmental assessment (base line studies) have already been contracted. Exploration work over the South block has been initiated with a 45 line km soil sampling campaign covering a 6 km strike length of the diorite and mafic volcanic contact zone which host numerous gold garimpos (historical artisanal mining sites). The gold mineralization is hosted in sulfide bearing rocks and the Company is planning to carry out an orientation IP (Induced Polarization geophysical survey) to test this tool as an alternative to locate mineralized trends and structures.
The Volta Grande Gold Project has an estimated indicated mineral resource of 715,000 ounces of gold (20,090,000 tonnes grading 1.11 g/t gold) and an estimated inferred mineral resource of 1,388,000 ounces of gold (45,210,000 tonnes grading 0.95 g/t gold) based on 0.50 g/t gold cut off, as outlined by the NI 43-101 study undertaken by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. ("Scott Wilson RPA") of Toronto (see news release of September 29, 2009). The previous preliminary economic assessment carried out by Scott Wilson RPA was based on the mineral resources estimated with drilling to only 150 meters below surface on the North Block. The Company's current drill program focuses on upgrading the resources category and testing extensions of the mineralized zones along strike and down dip.
Helio Diniz, the Vice President, Exploration for Verena, stated "We are excited to see such significant mineralized intervals with high grades in the extension of the deposit where we are presently drilling. The deposit at this point remains wide open for further expansion down dip. Several targets that are located at shallow depths have not yet been tested by drilling."
Qualified Persons
The scientific and technical information in this press release has been reviewed and approved by David Gower, P. Geo., an advisor to Verena and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Verena's procedures for handling drill core comprise initial description and logging into a Microsoft Access database. Mineralized and suspected mineralized intervals in the holes are described in detail and marked for sampling. Core is then cut in half with the right-hand portion of the core put into plastic sample bags and sealed. Assay standard and "Blank" samples are inserted every 20th sample. These samples are then delivered to ACME Labs sample preparation facility in Itaituba, Para, Brazil. The assay samples are then fine-crushed to better than 80% passing 10 mesh screen, with an assay pulp split of up to 500 grams pulverized to better than 85% passing 200 mesh screen. Samples are assayed at ACME Labs in Santiago, Chile, using a 50 gram fire assay with AAS finish. These QA/QC procedures provide several measures of data quality and assure the Company that the assay data is representative of the original sample.
