Orestone Mining Corp. (TSX Venture Exchange Symbol: ORS) (OTC: ORESF) (WKN: O2R2) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Phase I exploration program has been initiated on the Francisca Gold Project in Salta Province, Argentina.
The Phase I program will consist of detailed mapping and sampling of a 200×500 metre grid covering the surface exposure of the South gold zone. Sampling will consist of 600 rock chip, channel and grab samples including the resampling of the 11 existing trenches which cross-cut the zone along its 500 metre strike length. Detailed data from Phase I will be used to refine drill hole orientation for a Phase II reverse circulation (RC) drill program. At this time the Phase II program is planned to be 1500 metres of RC drilling in 10 drill holes designed to cross-cut the presently defined gold-silver mineralized zone on a spacing of 40 to 80 meters. Several of these drill holes will test the larger porphyry target at depth below the oxide horizon.
