Gold-Ore Reports Underground Drill Results at Bjorkdal
|
| | Gold-Ore Resources Ltd. is pleased to report drill results from the on-going underground diamond drill program at the 100%-owned Bjorkdal Gold Mine in Sweden. Drilling continues to increase the dimensions of the orebody and is expanding reserves and resources at the mine faster than they are being depleted.
During 2009 the company drilled a total of 69 diamond drill holes (7,724 metres), including underground, open-pit and surface exploration holes at Ronnberget. The company plans to drill an additional 10,000 metres during 2010. This information will form the basis for a new reserve, resource calculation during 2010. Following are the significant results from the most recent underground holes.

* denotes drilled from Exploration tunnel
Exploration Drift
During 2009 an exploration drift was driven to give access for drilling on the extension of the orebody towards the north where previous surface drilling returned encouraging results. The diamond drill was placed in the tunnel in late 2009 and seven holes were completed: 2009-035 to 2009-041. These holes all intersected significant gold grades across mineable widths. The rig has been moved and the drift is now being extended with more drilling planned shortly.
These drill results are very significant from a long-term mine life perspective. Increasing the strike length in this part of the deposit provides a large upside in tonnage when factoring in the 40 or 50 known gold-bearing veins in the deposit. Continued success in this extension will significantly increase mine life.
Sample Protocol and Chain of Custody
In order to minimize the effects of the coarse nugget gold at Bjorkdal, the Company has elected to submit 100% of the core for analysis, rather than retaining half of the core for archive. This provides a much larger sample for gold analysis and theoretically a more representative result. The core is logged and photographed, and for the zones sampled, the entire core is shipped to ALS Chemex for gold analysis. A rigorous QA/QC program is employed that involves the insertion of blanks and certified standards.
