Howlett Research Corp. Publishes Research Report on Coral Gold Resources Ltd.
Thursday July 20, 7:30 am ET
VANCOUVER, BC--(MARKET WIRE)--Jul 20, 2006 -- Howlett Research Corp. (www.howlett-research.com), a boutique research firm led by Jeff Howlett, President, announced today that it has recently published a research report on Coral Gold Resources Ltd. ("Coral") (TSX VENTURE:CGR.V - News) (OTC BB:CGREF.OB - News) (www.coralgold.com).
Coral is exploring a portfolio of strategically located claim blocks along the Battle Mountain-Eureka gold trend in north-central Nevada. These properties are situated in the active Crescent Valley region, site of the large Cortez (Pipeline) gold mine, operated by Barrick and Kennecott Explorations.
The Robertson property is the focus of Coral, where $20+ million has been spent to date and over 1,100 drillholes totaling 432,000 feet have been completed. Since 2004, Coral has expanded and upgraded its resources. Whereas in 2001 (NI 43-101), indicated resource estimate stood at 583,700 oz Au, the April, 2006 (NI 43-101) figure is now over 1.1 million oz Au, as follows:
Million Tons Grade (opt) Contained Oz.
Measured / Indicated 22.90 0.031 699,000
Inferred 9.41 0.046 434,000
Total 1,133,000
Drilling continues to identify new resources and better delineate known resources at Robertson. Part of the planned 40+ hole program in 2006 is to drill 12 core holes to gather metallurgical information to investigate better processing methods for extraction. Lack of data limited the 2006 Preliminary Assessment by restricting alternatives that could be examined.

****************************************
I read the report, and it is just a rehash of information that can be found in the annual report and the 43-101 Report. I had hoped that it would be a bit more readable, with fewer confusing geologic terms, as to make it more accessible to the general public. Unfortunately in the areas where the geology is explained, the author relies heavily on excerpts from the jargon laden 42-101 reports. Nowhere in the report does it mention the potential combination with USGL.
One can give credit to CGR for trying to sell what it has, but it has yet to find big reserves like those of its neighbors Pipeline and Gold Acres.
