Gold-Ore Reports Increased Underground Resources at Bjorkdal Gold Mine
March 05 2010 - 10:32AM
Marketwired
Gold-Ore Resources Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: GOZ) is
pleased to report the results of a recently completed resource
estimate for the 100% owned Bjorkdal Gold Mine in Sweden. The
Company released a resource estimate in October, 2009, however, the
incorporation of underground chip sampling triggered the current
update. The new estimate resulted in a significant increase in
measured and indicated underground resources that are available for
conversion to proven and probable reserves thus extending mine
life.
Resources
In 2009, Wardell Armstrong International Ltd. (WAI) was
commissioned to provide Gold-Ore with a resource estimate, which
separated the deposit into resources amenable to open pit mining
and those that would be mined underground. WAI used Datamine
software and Indicator Kriging, incorporating all drill data up to
March 2009, a total of 4,475 drill holes with a nominal spacing of
30 metres. In January 2010, WAI completed a revised estimate that
included all of the chip samples from underground faces. The
resource estimate complies with JORC 2004. Table 1 lists the
tonnage and grade for the open pit and underground resources, and
Table 2 lists the corresponding ounces of gold for each
category.

measured and indicated ounces of gold. Gold-Ore continues to
conduct drilling to confirm and expand the resources and will
provide annual resource/reserve estimates to coincide with filing
of Company's annual financial statements.
