VANCOUVER, Sept. 16, 2014 /CNW/ - Mundoro Capital Inc. (TSXV: MUN, www.mundoro.com) ("Mundoro" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its
exploration activities at its 100% owned Bulgarian properties - Zvezda,
Byalo and Chuprene. Recent exploration results have delineated a new
porphyry copper-gold target at the Ramadanska Chuka ("RC") project area within the southwest corner of the Byalo exploration
license, a new epithermal gold target at the Angel Voyvoda ("AV") project area within the Zvezda exploration license and confirmed
anomalous copper-gold grades in quartz veins at the Chuprene
exploration license.
Teo Dechev, CEO and President of Mundoro commented, "The exploration
work completed to date by our exploration team to identify these new
targets on our three licenses underscores the effectiveness of our
exploration programs and ability to generate new discovery
opportunities to our shareholders. At RC, the delineation of a new
porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum system is being followed up by an
Induced Polarization/Resistivity survey in September to refine the
drill targets. At AV, rock sampling of the breccia returned grades
from 1.1 g/t gold to 3.33 g/t gold. A ground magnetic survey is
currently underway to delineate the structures."
Byalo
The Company started a systematic exploration program comprising stream
sediment sampling, rock grab sampling, mapping, soil geochemistry and
ground geophysics. The infill soil sampling program at the RC project
area has delineated a new porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum system
approximately 650m x 600m in size which is related to a larger advanced
argillic alteration lithocap.
Rock sampling results returned anomalous copper-gold-molybdenum up to
0.39% copper, 0.55 g/t gold and 587 ppm molybdenum related to quartz
stockwork veining and hydrothermal breccia. Soil geochemical sampling
results identified a well-defined molybdenum anomaly that haloes a
copper-gold central core anomaly and is rimmed by Bi, Te, Pb and Zn.
The Company carried out the ground magnetic survey in Q2 2014 over the
RC hydrothermal system approximately 5km² in size (2.3 x2.2 km). The
survey identified several anomalies including a well-defined magnetic
bull's-eye anomaly that overlaps with the porphyry related
copper-gold-molybdenum soil and rock anomalies (see Figure 1).
The Company has mobilised a geophysics team to carry out an Induced
Polarization/Resistivity survey over the RC porphyry target. The survey
includes four lines totalling 10 line km designed to penetrate to 500m
in depth. Current exploration at the Byalo license also includes
regional soil sampling over an area 8km x 8km (64km²) north and east of
RC project area and which was highlighted as anomalous and prospective
by the Company's stream sediment screening program.
The RC project area is located 3km west of Chala, a producing epithermal
quartz vein gold mine which is hosted in the andesite volcanic rocks
part of the Tertiary Volcanic Belt extending from West Turkey through
to Northern Greece, Macedonia and western Serbia. The Tertiary Belt is
host to numerous producing and developing gold and copper-gold mines
and projects.
Zvezda
The systematic exploration program carried out by the Company covering
stream sediment screening, mapping, soil and rock sampling at the
Zvezda license resulted in identifying the new Angel Voyvoda ("AV")
project area as prospective for sediment hosted epithermal gold
mineralisation. Exploration at the AV project area initially focused on
following up anomalous rock-chip samples (up to 2.6 g/t Au) that were
reported by prior explorer, Newmont. Follow up reconnaissance mapping
established the presence of mineralised quartz fault breccia which was
followed discontinuously for 1.3 km in tertiary marine sediments. Rock
sampling of the breccia along three parallel structures returned grades
from 1.1 g/t gold to 3.33 g/t gold.
Recently completed soil sampling along a focused grid has established
continuity along strike of the fault breccias, which identified several
WNW-ESE trending zones coincident with mapped orientations of the
sampled quartz breccia structures (see Figure 2). The Company will conduct trenching which will target areas with
anomalous gold values in soils that coincide with anomalous gold values
reported from mapped quartz breccias as well as targeting linear soil
anomalies that are interpreted to be breccia structures which are not
exposed at surface. This gold-in-soil anomaly is 2.6km x 2km and is
open to the west and southwest. A ground magnetic survey is taking
place at the AV project area in September to identify fault structures
that are interpreted to be conduits for gold mineralisation in quartz
breccias.
Another target area in the Zvezda license is the Eplika project area
where soil sampling identified a north-west trending gold-in-soil
anomaly 3.5km long with reported grades up to 1.55 g/t gold.
Reconnaissance mapping identified quartz veins related to the soil
anomaly which are immediately south of the Chala gold mine (see Figure 3). Mapping and rock samples returned gold values up to 13.6 g/t gold
along a quartz vein zone discontinuously followed for 750 meters.
Further mapping has established that faulting across these vein systems
may have offset these structures. Prior explorers had reported values
up to 8 g/t gold. The Company will sample historical trenches in the
vicinity of the reported high grade gold samples in order to establish
the continuity and correct dip of the vein system in order to better
define drill targets.
Chuprene
Mundoro acquired the Chuprene exploration license in July 2014. The
Chuprene license is located approximately 175km NW of Sofia and
includes numerous copper-gold and gold occurrences and mines hosted in
the Palaeozoic Mineral Belt of Bulgaria. The Company has started
reconnaissance field work and assessment of the available historical
data.
Initial work includes surveying, mapping and channel sampling of the
known Chuprene copper-gold occurrence which has been exploited since
ancient times. Several mineralised quartz vein zones occupying an area
4,000m x 700m have been followed up by initial prospecting in the
field. The vein zones are hosted by an NW-SE trending regional thrust
fault system mapped in the northern part of the license for 25km.
Initial rock channel sampling included 42 samples collected across the
central zone starting from the main adit. Results returned encouraging
copper-gold values up to 2.54% Cu and 2.9 g/t Au. Distribution of
copper and gold values suggests at least two mineralised pulses: one
bearing copper and a second bearing gold following the same fault-vein
structures. Work continues with mapping and sampling parallel and
sub-parallel vein zones along the fault system hosting the Chuprene
occurrence as well as other project areas within the Chuprene license.
Sampling and Analysis Procedure
All channel and rock intercepts were obtained from continuous channel
sampling intervals. All samples are assayed using 50 gram fire assay
with atomic absorption finish by ALS Bor, Serbia. Quality Assurance and
quality control procedures include the systematic insertion of
standards and duplicates into the sample streams. Field duplicate
samples are taken every 25 samples and standards and blanks are
inserted after every 20th sample. All data collected in the field and
assay results from the laboratories are routinely verified and entered
in an access data base.
Soil samples were collected from the "B" horizon of the soil media by
hand digging a hole from 0.1 to 0.5m. Material of ~500 grams was
collected, sealed and send directly to the ALS laboratory in Bor.
Samples were dried at <60°C/140F, sieve sample to -180 micron (80 mesh)
and assayed using 30 gram fire assay with atomic absorption finish.
