newsPlexmar Resources Inc.: Update on Escondida Project
SAINTE-FOY, QUEBEC--(CCNMatthews - April 10, 2007) - Plexmar Resources (TSX VENTURE:PLE) wishes to inform its shareholders of recent developments on its Escondida project.
In March, follow-up work has been conducted on the Escondida IV concession where a volcanic environment was recently recognized. The Escondida IV concession is located near Yantzaza, SE Ecuador, and is part of the Central Block of Concessions of the Escondida Project. Four stream sediment sampling crews have taken a total of 173 stream sediment samples, with the aim of covering the concession with a sampling nominal density of 1.5 sample per square kilometer. Prospection was also done along the access paths used to reach the stream sediment sample points. 72 rock samples were taken, consisting mostly of grab and chip samples. All these samples have been sent to the ALS Chemex facilities in Quito; gold and other metal assay results are expected in the near future. In April, the work program is expected to include the continuation of the stream sediment survey/prospection on other concessions of Escondida's Central Block of concessions.
The Escondida project represents one of the largest land positions in the Cordillera del Condor near Aurelian Resources' Fruta del Norte gold discovery. The project covers 84,110 hectares (841.1 km2) and borders Aurelian's large land package on the western flank and north of Corriente Resources claims. Namely, the northern block covers 28.5 Km of the contact between the Zamora batholith and the Misahualli volcanic formation. (See attached map) Fruta del Norte is believed to be the most significant gold discovery made by a junior miner in over a decade.
