FIELD CREWS MOBILIZED TO CARNEIRINHO
Lund Gold Ltd. (TSX-V:LGD) andOromin Explorations Ltd. (TSX-V:OLE) are pleased to report that an exploration crew under the direction of Apex Geoscience has mobilized to their Carneirinho Property in the Tapajós region of north central Brazil. The Tapajós region is generally regarded as the premier epithermal gold district in Brazil and the Carneirinho Property lies approximately 30 kilometres northwest of the Tocantinzinho Property currently being explored by Brazauro Resources Corp. Lund and Oromin hold an option to jointly acquire a 100% interest in the Carneirinho Property.
Lund and Oromin plan an initial $200,000 exploration program to include geological mapping, prospecting, grid-based soil geochemical sampling, ground magnetics, channel sampling and auger drill sampling. Additional geophysics and core drilling will form the second phase of the exploration program.
Extensive former and current garimpeiro workings are located within the Carneirinho Property. Since 1996 when garimpeiro activity and small-scale mining began, historical production from the property is reported to be approximately 3 tonnes of gold. At the Carneirinho Property’s main garimpeiro pit, Antonio de Luca, a total of 600 kilograms of gold were reportedly produced from the 70 metre long, 25 metre wide and 25 metre deep excavation.
