Emgold Mining Corp. announced the successful completion of the 2011 field exploration program for its Rozan Property, British Columbia. The Rozan Property is a poly-metallic property located in the Nelson Mining District approximately 10 kilometres southwest of Nelson. William Rozan staked the area in 1928 and operated a small scale high grade gold mining operation on the property until the early 1970's. The Rozan Property consists of 32 mineral claims covering an area of 1,950 hectares. The Rozan Property is directly south of Valterra Resource Corporation's Star and Toughnut Properties. It is also adjacent to and west of Altair Ventures/Sultan Minerals Kena Property. According to public disclosure by Sultan Minerals, the Kena Property has a reported NI 43-101 compliant gold resource 2004 of 541,000 measured and indicated ounces of gold 24.9 million tonnes at 0.68 gram per tonne gold and an inferred resource of 557,000 ounces of gold 25.8 million tonnes at 0.67 gram per tonne gold. The Property is underlain by a sequence of meta-sedimentary and meta-volcanic rocks of the Early Jurassic Archibald and Elise formations, respectively. The units are part of the Rossland Group and are highly prospective for hosting economic mineralization gold, molybdenum, tungsten, copper, and silver, especially where the rocks are intruded by later Mid-Late Jurassic granite-granodiorite bodies correlative with the Nelson Intrusions. The claims straddle a NW-SE trending package of sheared rocks proximal to the Silver King Shear Zone and cored within the Hall Creek Syncline. Emgold is currently focused on exploring for high-grade gold veins and bulk mineable disseminated gold zones. During 2011, Valterra conducted a program of geological mapping approximately two square kilometres, collecting and analyzing four rock samples and 119 soil samples during the period September 19 to 24, 2011. Anticipating this, Emgold raised CAD 767,750 in flow through funds in late 2011, and is planning an exploration program and budget for Rozan for 2012, using part of the funds identified above. All previous soil sampling campaigns on the property were digitally compiled into a single database 1,637 samples and tied to corrected UTM, NAD83 coordinates based on available grid stations identified/found from the old grid. The historic soil geochemical data was scanned and optically recognized using analytical certificates from assessment and company reports. Geological mapping indicated that the Jurassic aged Nelson Intrusions consisting of granodiorite and porphyritic diorite extend further north than previously thought, expanding the potential for further precious and base mineralization within and adjacent to the intrusives and Elise Formation mafic to intermediate tuffaceous rocks. The mapping also discovered that the Mount Verde fault consists of an approximately 200 metre wide breccia zone with local zones of extensive shearing. Coincident with the Mount Verde fault is spotty but strongly anomalous gold and molybdenum in soils. Soil sampling was completed to infill a gap in the historic soil sampling coverage and to expand the soil survey to the north. Results of the 2011 soil sampling compiled with previous soil surveys has defined an area 1.8 by 1.6 kilometres in size with several gold anomalies based on a 55 part per billion gold grade contour. The gold in soil anomaly appears to have two preferential orientations being NW-SE and NE-SW. The northwest orientation is related to the contact between Elise Formation tuffaceous rocks to the west and granodiorite to the east. Gold values in soils ranged from 0.300 to 2,625 parts per billion. Mapping was completed for gold, arsenic, molybdenum, iron, tungsten, and manganese. Assaying was done by Acme Labs of Vancouver, an independent laboratory, following standard laboratory procedures, with standard quality control measures. A total of 10 gold anomalies were identified by Valterra. A NW-SE trending gold soil anomaly Target A extends for some 1.8 kilometres and is up to 200 metres wide true width is unknown. Along the surface trace of the Mount Verde fault there is a strong anomaly Target B identified by gold, tungsten, arsenic, and manganese in the soils. The remaining gold soil anomalies are generally NE-SW orientated and are considered related to high grade or sheeted quartz vein gold mineralization most of which remain unexplained on the property. Of the NE 'trends', three Trends C, D and G appear to be the most significant. Trends C and D are two sub-parallel NE trending gold in soil anomalies located within granodiorite and may suggest that the sheeted quartz vein system located at the NE end of the soil anomalies extends some 500 metres further to the SW. Trend G appears to originate at the historic Rozan workings and extends some 450 metres to the SW.
