Precipitate Advances to Final Stages of Concession Application Process in Dominican Republic; Next Phase Exploration Planning Underway
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/11/13 -- Precipitate Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "Precipitate") (TSX VENTURE:PRG) is pleased to announce it has advanced to an important stage in the process to attain its concession grant for the Juan de Herrera concession application in the Tireo belt of the Dominican Republic. The Company has recently received an "Extracto" for Juan de Herrera, which represents a critical threshold in the concession approval process. Having received the Extracto, Precipitate will complete the remaining minor applicant obligations which will secure final grant of the concession. The remainder of the procedure is anticipated to be completed in 60 to 90 days.
In anticipation of the final concession grant, Precipitate is planning the next exploration phase for Juan de Herrera. An induced polarization ("IP") geophysical survey is being devised for the Ginger Ridge area to identify prospective sub-surface targets of high sulphide content and silicification. IP has proven to be a highly effective tool in identifying areas of buried gold-copper mineralization and delineating drill targets on other high profile projects in the Tireo belt. Precipitate's recent surface work at Ginger Ridge has identified a highly prospective zone yielding an open-ended 13.0 metre chip sample grading 1.5 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold and 20 g/t silver within a gold enriched multi-element soil geochemical anomaly exceeding 1,000 metres long and up to 400 metres wide. Any IP anomalies identified from the proposed survey would be evaluated to delineate targets for a possible first phase drill program.
The Company's landholdings in the Dominican Republic now include two concession applications, Juan de Herrera and Hato Nuevo; which collectively cover 10,573 hectares. The two contiguous concessions adjoin the southern border of GoldQuest Mining Corp's property which hosts the Las Tres Plamas discoveries. Based on exploration results to date, Precipitate has chosen not to complete the application process for the Higos Blancos concession, located outside the Tireo belt.
