Vancouver, British Columbia -- Artha Resources Corporation (TSX.V: AHC) ("Artha" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has filed a National Instrument 43-101 technical report on the Organullo Project recently optioned from Cardero Argentina S.A. The Organullo project is a relatively advanced epithermal gold-silver project located in northern Salta Province NW Argentina with excellent potential for both high sulphidation type epithermal high grade gold and silver as well as bulk tonnage lower grade gold and silver mineralization.
With reference to the Company's news release dated September 12, 2011, the Company entered into an Option Agreement to whereby it can earn an undivided fifty-five (55%) percent working interest in the interest of Cardero Argentina S.A. ("Cardero Argentina") in the tenures which make-up the Organullo Project, and thereafter form a Joint Venture with Cardero Argentina, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cardero Resource Corp. ("Cardero").
Organullo Project Summary.
HIGHLIGHTS.
- a total of 1,580 surface rock samples collected by previous explorers from an area of approximately 8-kilometres by 8-kilometres average 0.25 g/t gold.
- 189 metres of 0.66 g/t gold and 186 metres of 0.50 g/t gold in historic drilling prior to Cardero.
- Cardero considered that historic exploration inadequately tested this large, pervasive gold-silver bearing system.
- Gold values from 361 rock samples collected by Cardero over 8 kilometres of strike on the 6100 ha property averaged 0.48 g/t gold and range from below detection to 29.7 g/t gold.
- Mapping and geochemical analyses conducted by Cardero defined a 2.1-kilometre by 800-metre zone of hydrothermal alteration indicative of both low- and high-sulphidation style epithermal gold deposits.
- Geophysical surveying conducted by Cardero characterized the historical Julio Verne Mine and identified similar targets over a 5-kilometre strike length.
- Broad zones of low grade gold mineralisation identified in Cardero diamond drilling included 445m at 0.15 g/t gold with primary targets still untested.
Artha considers the Organullo project to offer excellent drill ready targets with a focus on delineating both large bulk tonnage potential as well as higher grade zones in dilatant structures. The property delivers an exceptional and relatively advanced project into Artha's highly prospective portfolio in the under explored NW of Argentina. Drilling is planned to commence on the project in the December 2011 quarter.
Artha was founded by a team of mining industry professionals with a proven track record in project generation, exploration, mining and finance. Artha is one of the largest mineral explorers in this region with over 2,100 square kilometers of properties prospective for silver, gold, base metals and rare earths.
