VANCOUVER, Dec. 11, 2013 /CNW/ - Garibaldi Resources Corp. (TSX.V: GGI)
(the "Company" or "Garibaldi") is pleased to report that exploration
carried out by the Company has returned strong gold values from channel
sampling at its recently acquired La Patilla Property, and a drill
program is ready to begin. These results include separate sample
intervals grading 28.4 g/t Au over 1.3 meters, 7.5 g/t Au over 6.4 m, 6.2 g/t Au over 3.3 m, and 5.8 g/t Au over 7.9 m at the Murcielago breccia, and 13.5 g/t Au over 1.3 m at the La Patilla vein system contiguous to the southeast (sample
widths are estimated true widths).
With its company-owned rig assigned to the Tonichi Project, Garibaldi
has contracted a Sinaloa based drilling company for a first-ever
diamond drilling program at La Patilla commencing immediately.
Drilling at La Patilla will focus on the Murcielago and La Patilla low
sulfidation epithermal structures, testing the continuity of
mineralization at shallow depths and along strike. To date, highly
encouraging surface mineralization has been outlined over a combined
strike length of 225 meters and remains open in all directions. The
host rocks are silicified rhyolite tuffs underlain by andesite.
Property maps showing location, geology, sampling areas with full
results, and proposed drill hole locations are available on the
Garibaldi web site (www.GaribaldiResources.com).
La Patilla is located in the municipality of El Rosario in Sinaloa
State, Mexico, and was acquired by Garibaldi as a potential near-term
exploitation project. Several gold-bearing quartz veins and/or breccia
bodies at La Patilla have drawn interest from artisanal miners for many
years. The property features easy access, relatively flat terrain at
low elevations, and is surrounded by excellent infrastructure in an
established mining district. Garibaldi has also negotiated a long-term
agreement with the local community to allow for any potential future
metal extraction on the property by the Company.
Importantly, the recent extensive geological mapping, channel and rock
sampling completed by Garibaldi at La Patilla has independently
validated data compiled since 2010 through surface exploration by
ProDeMin, the private Mexican company Garibaldi acquired the property
from earlier this year. Garibaldi's work has also identified
additional targets throughout the 100-hectare property that warrant
further investigation.
The tables below include selected channel sample results (length
weighted averages) obtained by both Garibaldi and ProDeMin at La
Patilla.

While Garibaldi is very encouraged by the known mineralized structures
and the data collected at La Patilla to date, there has been
insufficient exploration at the property to define a mineral resource,
and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target
being delineated as a resource.
Tonichi Project Update
Garibaldi is pleased to report that all drill core from MAR-13-03, one
of the longest holes (253 meters) completed at the Locust target, has
been logged, split and submitted for assaying. MAR-13-03 was drilled
with the Company's own rig to follow up on the discovery of a supergene
zone in MAR-13-02 including a 104.6-meter interval grading 0.24 g/t Au
and 0.16% Cu as reported by the Company November 7, 2013. To date, 16
diamond drill holes at Locust have outlined a broad envelope of
near-surface mineralization that measures at least 5 km along trend and
1-2 km across. The Company is looking forward to results from
MAR-13-03 which will guide the next phase of drilling at this important
target, the most advanced of several Garibaldi has identified at the
large Tonichi Project.
