VANCOUVER, Feb. 4, 2014 /CNW/ - Cosigo Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: CSG) today announced the receipt of assay results from three reverse-circulation drill holes on the Machado project in southeastern Colombia. Results have now been received for all of the 20 holes drilled by Cosigo during its 2013 drill program.
- Hole 13MR020 intersected 3.05m of 1.59 g/t Au from 9.14m down-hole depth inside a broader zone of weaker gold mineralization.
- Hole 13MR010 intersected 3.05m of 0.98 g/t Au from 36.58m to the end of the drill hole.
- Hole 13MR006 intersected several zones of weak gold mineralization.
"Our first drill program has shown that the Machado property is underlain by gold-bearing strata with several of our drill holes intersecting high grade gold." stated Dennis Milburn, President and CEO of Cosigo. "The potential for strata-bound mineralization is particularly encouraging given the large size of the metasedimentary system, which forms the Taraira Gold Belt."
