Colombian Mines to Acquire Pamlico Gold Project, Nevada

Colombian Mines Corporation has entered into a purchase option agreement with a private party for the high grade Pamlico gold project in Mineral County, Nevada for US$4 million.
The Pamlico property is located 12 miles southeast of Hawthorne, Nevada and west of Nevada State Highway 95. Situated along the Walker Lane, one of Nevada’s largest and most productive gold trends, the property consists of 116 unpatented lode mining claims covering the historic Pamlico group of underground mines, as well as the surrounding Good Hope, Central, Gold Bar and Sunset mines.
Visible gold dominates the high grade mineralization which occurs in thoroughly oxidized and brecciated quartz veins. Numerous historic drill holes contain high grade gold intercepts. 103 drill holes totaling 27,838 feet (8487 meters) have been completed on the property between 1993 and 2010, by three previous operators. Seventy-four of these holes were reverse circulation, while 29 holes were drilled as open hole rotary.
Recent work, completed between 2010 and 2013 by the seller, includes completion of 29 rotary drill holes in the main zone, a 615 foot long, nominal 10 X 12 foot decline, haul road, initial permitting, and all necessary surface and underground infrastructure including shops and office buildings. The decline, completed in 2013, was advanced to within 25 feet of high grade drill indicated mineralization. Two previously unknown gold zones were discovered while driving the decline. Both contain coarse visible gold in brecciated vein material with abundant iron oxides and will be independently sampled as a top priority of the company going forward.
Mineralized material recovered while driving the decline has undergone limited, initial gravity test work by the seller. These results suggest significant recoveries may be readily achieved with conventional gravity methods. Third party determination of actual recovery rates remains to be completed by the company, but the initial results suggest significant recoveries may be achieved through a low cost gravity concentration. The drilling to date, simple metallurgy, and access via the new decline, sets the stage for the company’s near term bulk sampling and processing of mineralized material from one or more high grade zones. Colombian Mines will then focus on evaluating the potential for achieving commercial production from known high grade mineralization and will conduct such economic and other studies as necessary in the opinion of management, while pursuing exploration of additional targets as better knowledge of the geology and mineralizing controls are developed.
