NWM Drills 1.03 g/t Au over 23.0 Meters from surface at Gold Ridge

NWM Mining Corporation is pleased to report on the progress of the air-track drilling program conducted on the Gold Ridge target at Lluvia de Oro. Located approximately 500 meters west of the Lluvia de Oro / Creston pit, Gold Ridge consists of a quartz porphyry / felsic volcanic unit with an exposed strike length of 1.4 kilometers and an approximate thickness of 200 meters.

In 2012, 20 percussion holes intersected gold mineralization along the east flank of Gold Ridge, expanding the lateral distribution of the gold mineralization while also identifying 3 target areas, the North, Central and South Zones for follow up drilling.

This Miner May Be Primed For Takeover

One gold and silver miner that we believe is a near-term takeout target — possibly before the end of 2013 — is Paramount Gold and Silver (PZG). We highlighted this company a few weeks ago and already it has made a powerful move.
