TNR Gold Corp. (“TNR”) is pleased to provide this update regarding its Eureka Project, a copper-gold prospect located in the Jujuy province of Argentina.
TNR has successfully acquired an additional 1820.49 hectares at Eureka, bringing TNR’s holdings to a total of 4788.49 hectares. The new claims will be added to the original option agreement for a one-time fee of US$30,000. The additional ground is adjacent to the original ground and c covers an area of favourable conglomerate which hosts the Company’s Eureka project.
“We are very pleased to have secured this significant land package in such a prolific copper/gold district of Argentina,” states TNR’s President and CEO Gary Schellenberg.
Exploration on the project is underway. TNR’s program will include geochemical sampling, geological mapping and geophysical surveys throughout the area. The work will also include re-opening and cleaning out an historical adit located on the property. The property contains over 5 km of historic underground workings. In addition, a short drill program in the area of the adit will be implemented to test the continuity and extent of the mineralized horizons.
The goal of this program is to define precise targets for drilling and trenching for exploration activity scheduled before the end of 2007.
In a 2000 report, Minera Peñoles geologically estimated a potential of 50 to 60 Mt @ 1% copper in oxides based on surface workings, trenching, underground sampling and the assumed continuity of the near surface mineralized beds at Eureka.
