GoGold Completes 23 Trenches Identifying Mineralization for 3.2km Along Strike and Mobilizes Additional Drill Rig

Brad Langille, President and CEO, states ‘we are very pleased to see the results from our geological mapping, sampling and trenching program has defined at least 5 new targets, where we are currently mobilizing an additional drilling rig, along strike to the south of the former Cinco Minas El Abra underground mine. The largest zone is known as Cerro Colorado and extends for a strike length of 500m. With these widths and grades at surface, we feel there is an excellent chance to discover new high-grade deposits along the Los Ricos vein system that have not been previously mined. Based on our trenching and mapping to date, the limited historical drilling in this area may have missed the mineralized zone which we have identified.’
