LA CANADA, Calif., May 15, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — California Gold Corp. /quotes/zigman/544631/quotes/nls/clgl CLGL -17.50% (“California Gold” or, the “Company”) has elected to conduct a more detailed geophysics analytical program at its AuroTellurio project near Moctezuma in Sonora, Mexico, before commencing its previously announced drilling program at the project this month.


Of the three drilling targets that were defined on a geological basis, two of them, the southeasterly extension of the La Bambolla vein system and the deep-seated intrusive target area, respectively, will be further investigated using geophysical methods in order to better define the configuration of these targets at depth.


In both instances, a high resolution resistivity imaging technique, CSAMI (Controlled Source Audio-Frequency Magneto Telluric), will be used to model lithologic contacts and structures. This methodology will be supplemented with CSIP (a similar technique to gradient Induced Polarization) in order to detect sulfide mineralization associated with both, the intrusive contact and the structural features.


The results of the further geophysical surveys are intended to assist the Company to select drill targets and specific drill sites more effectively.


The Company has completed the survey lines for this program and they have been flagged in the field. The field work is expected to start shortly. The Company estimates that it can complete this program and evaluate the information by mid-July, and that a decision to launch the drilling program should follow.


Zonge International, Inc., of Tucson, Arizona, will be conducting the focused geophysics survey program. The Company’s AuroTellurio project adjoins the La Bambolla Mine, which has recently been undergoing re-development for tellurium, and is believed to host a gold and tellurium resource. California Gold Corp. is targeting similar mineralization at its own project.
