Gold-Ore Reports Increased Underground Resources at Bjorkdal Gold Mine
March 05 2010 - 9:32AM
Marketwired Canada
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.
