AuRico Gold Provides an Update on 2011 Exploration Programs
TORONTO, January 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
AuRico Gold Inc. (TSX:AUQ) (NYSE: AUQ), ("AuRico" or "AuRico Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to provide highlights of the 2011 exploration programs completed at the Company's expanded asset base in Canada, Mexico and Australia. The Company expects to release a company-wide reserve and resource update in the first quarter of 2012. (Refer to Tables in the Appendix for selected drilling results).
2011 was a transformational year for AuRico Gold, as the Company diversified its production portfolio through two significant transactions, acquiring the Young Davidson mine located in Northern Ontario, Canada, which is scheduled to begin production in late Q1 2012, and the El Chanate mine located in Sonora State, Mexico. The Company's growing production profile is also supported by the significant exploration potential at its expanded portfolio of properties.
Young Davidson Exploration Highlights
During the year, 23,354 metres (20 holes) of surface drilling and 1,720 metres (4 holes) of underground drilling were completed as part of the US$3.6 million exploration program at Young Davidson[1]. Highlights of this program include:
- Further delineation of the Young Davidson (YD) West Zone, which resulted in a Measured and Indicated Resource of 536,000 ounces (4.5 M tonnes grading 3.72 g/t gold) plus an Inferred Resource of 53,000 ounces (0.5 M tonnes grading 3.22 g/t gold) that was announced on September 15, 2011 and is expected to be largely converted to reserve status as part of the Company's Reserve and Resource update.
- Subsequent to the YD West resource estimation, a further six drill holes were completed, five of which intersected the YD West Zone. The deposit remains open to the west and at depth.
- Confirmation of the continuity of a zone footwall to the Upper Boundary Zone that had previously been interpreted as isolated intersections. An oblique drill hole YMX11-04 confirms this continuity and returned 4.80 g/t gold over 15.5 metres.
Recent drilling highlights from the YD West Zone include: (See Figure 1)
- Hole YD11-244, 54.0 metres grading 5.44 grams per tonne gold
- Hole YD11-245, 6.0 metres grading 2.53 grams per tonne gold
- Hole YD11-247, 46.5 metres grading 2.30 grams per tonne gold
- Hole YD11-248, 54.0 metres grading 2.33 grams per tonne gold
The 40,000 metre drilling program proposed for 2012 will primarily focus on continuing to develop the Young-Davidson West deposit as well as follow-up drilling on six additional targets that were identified in 2011.
Ocampo Exploration Highlights
During the year the Company completed 71,430 metres (456 holes) of surface drilling and 67,780 metres (331 holes) of underground drilling as part of the US$26 million exploration program at Ocampo. Highlights of this program include (See Figure 2):
- Drilling parallel to and eastward along the PGR trend near the current Picacho open pit has identified a number of gold bearing vein systems (the San Jose, Belen and Altagracia veins) that demonstrate the potential of this system to be exploited both by open pit as well as underground mining methods. Open pit development studies are currently underway on the upper portion of the high grade San Jose / Belen system and this system is expected to be an additional source of mill feed ore.
- In addition, a mineralized extension between the Conico and Estrella Open Pits has been drilled to 25 metre centers. This area is currently being modeled and pit optimization studies are underway. To date, the Estrella vein has been surface mapped over 400 metres beyond the any of the previous drilling undertaken and the new drilling shows that Estrella is now open along strike to the west.
- Drilling from the Santa Eduviges underground mine (located in the southwest part of the mine complex) continues to discover significant down-dip extensions to the vein systems currently being mined. 2011 surface exploration drilling has discovered at least three similar clavos along the strike of the PGR zone immediately west of the Santa Eduviges mine.
- Drilling from the Level 2 mine (a potential third underground mine located in the northeast part of the mine complex) has intersected six mineralized fault systems parallel to the productive high grade San Amado zone. Underground drifting is in progress to establish site drill platforms for the Monos and Burrita targets.
- A new style of mineralization, a high sulfidation epithermal system, as opposed to the typical low sulfidation epithermal system found at Ocampo, has been discovered below the Altagracia deposit at an elevation of 1,150 metres with an intersection of 9.9 metres grading 9.75 g/t gold and 175 g/t silver (13 g/t gold equivalent[2]) 250 meters below current typical working elevations.
Recent drilling highlights include:
Cubiro
- Hole OG-1463, 2.2 metres grading 27.01 g/t gold equivalent[2]
Altagracia
- Hole OU-1487, 9.9 metres grading 13.01 g/t gold equivalent[2]
Belen - San Jose
- Hole OU-1558, 6.0 metres grading 6.91 g/t gold equivalent[2]
- Hole OU-1481, 2.5 metres grading 15.38 g/t gold equivalent[2]
The 100,000 metre drilling program proposed for 2012 will primarily focus on the San Jose, San Amado and St Eduviges underground targets. The surface program will test for new open pittable deposits westward along the PGR trend (PGR West) and at Cerro Blanco (St Librada SE). The Cerro Blanco target altered zone hosts surface gold and silver values over a 1 kilometre long area and over 100 metres wide. There is an additional substantial-sized target on a parallel zone 300 metres southwest of Cerro Blanco. Surface rights have been negotiated and an aggressive drilling program has been initiated.
El Chanate Exploration Highlights
During the year, 38,510 metres of reverse circulation drilling in 177 holes and 5,154 metres of core drilling in 14 holes were completed at El Chanate as part of the US$3.9 million exploration program[3] (See Figure 3). Highlights of this program include:
- Discovery of a new zone of mineralization south of the planned heap-leach pads with hole CHCI-568 intersecting 27.4 metres of 0.50 g/t gold
- The depth extensions of the presently-planned pit to the south and southeast have now been drilled off and results provide encouragement that the open pit may be extended further to the southeast and to a greater depth
- Exploration was initiated on targets to the northwest of the current pit and this work will continue in 2012
Recent drilling highlights include:
- Hole CHCI-482, 70 metres grading 1.28 g/t gold (See Figure 4)
- Hole CHCI-491, 32 metres grading 0.96 g/t gold
- Hole CHCI-524, 51 metres grading 0.52 g/t gold (See Figure 5)
- Hole CHCI 602, 33.5 metres grading 0.33 g/t gold
- Hole CHCI 511, 45.7 metres grading 0.53 g/t gold
The 27,600 metre drilling program proposed for 2012 will primarily focus on trend to the northwest and southeast of the current pit as well as the newly discovered mineralization south of the planned heap leach pads.
El Cubo Exploration Highlights
During the year, the Company completed 15,790 metres of surface core drilling in 61 diamond drill holes at El Cubo as part of the US$2.0 million exploration program (See Figure 6). Highlights of this program include:
- The main focus of the drilling program has been to step-out and fill-in on the Dolores Vein discovery made in 2009/2010. This is a combined vein / sheeted vein deposit typical of the style of mineralization mined in this district for the last several hundred years.
- The drilling has successfully delineated a 1,100 metre long deposit that has the potential to be mined underground or via an open pit that would include a lower grade envelope of mineralized material that appears to be amenable to heap leach processing.
- Drilling in the Villalpando Gap target area from surface has cut encouraging mineralization that exceeds current cut-off grades and has the potential to be mined from existing workings.
Recent drilling highlights include:
Villapondo Gap
- Hole 577, 19.0 metres 1.04 g/t gold, 36 g/t silver, 1.68 g/t gold equivalent[2]
- Hole 586, 18.8 metres 1.5 g/t gold, 109 g/t silver, 3.49 g/t gold equivalent[2]
Dolores Capulin (See Figure 7)
- Hole 587, 5.0 metres 1.72 g/t gold, 273 g/t silver, 6.69 g/t gold equivalent[2]
- Hole 589, 23.3 m 0.94 g/t gold, 46 g/t silver, 1.77 g/t gold equivalent[2]
The 46,600 metre surface and underground drilling program proposed for 2012 will primarily focus on three principal targets namely, Dolores-La Loca, Cebolletes and Villalpando Sur.
Other Exploration Projects
During 2011, the Company completed 29,040 metres of drilling at four other projects in Mexico. Highlights include the discovery of a 700 metre-long vein system called La Balleza, as well as discovering potentially economic grades of gold-silver mineralization in the western portion of the Santo Nino Vein. Both discoveries are located on the company's Venus property, three kilometres from the Ocampo property.
"The Company begins 2012 with a high-quality portfolio of assets that have significant exploration potential. Young Davidson is entering an exciting phase as the YD West Zone is open in several directions with clear indications that there is much more potential to unlock. Ocampo continues to extend and discover new veins which may be exploited by both open pit and underground mining methods, collectively adding up to a long life operation. El Cubo and El Chanate have each demonstrated the existence of new, potentially mineable, areas," stated René Marion, President and Chief Executive Officer. He continued, "I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Chris Rockingham to the AuRico team. Chris has assumed the role of Vice President of Exploration and Business Development. Chris has assumed the role from Peter Drobeck who recently left the company to pursue other interests. During Peter's three years with the Company, he successfully built a solid portfolio of assets and one of the leading exploration teams in Mexico. We are grateful to Peter for his contributions and wish him well in his future endeavours."
