NEW HIGH GRADE INTERCEPTS FROM THE SVARTLIDEN GOLD MINE, SWEDEN
Dragon Mining Limited is pleased to announce the receipt of the initial assay results from a diamond core drilling program, which has targeted the easterly extensions of the Svartliden Gold Mine in Sweden. The new results are from Profile 2275 at the far east end of the deposit, that have returned a highlight intercept of 5.00 metres @ 17.81g/t gold that includes 2.00 metres @ 41.73g/t gold.
Located 65 metres below the planned base of the open pit, this new high grade intercept is considered very encouraging, continuing to highlight the potential for high-grade mineralisation below planned limits to open-pit mining at Svartliden.
This short phase of drilling commenced in the second half of 2009 and was designed to follow up on better than expected grade control results obtained from within the open pit area along the eastern extensions of the Svartliden deposit. Results have only been received to date for the first two holes of the four hole program completed. The remaining holes are still subject to geological logging and analysis.
The SV09187 hole intercept is open to both the east and west along strike, as well as down dip. Upon receipt of results from the other two holes completed on this Profile, a better understanding of the true width and orientation of this new high grade zone will be known.
