Orinoco Gold Limited announced that it has completed another 88 samples during February and March with results now returned by independent assay lab ALS. The average grade of the samples is 46.39 g/t with the best ones including 300 g/t, 254 g/t and 247 g/t. So far, Orinoco has completed and reported 147 samples of Mestre since the beginning of the year. The first batch of 40 was reported on 17 January 2018. The average grade of those 40 samples was 47.2 g/t. A second batch of 19 samples was reported on 2nd February 2018 with grades Up to 185 g/t and an average of 31.4 g/t. Of note, the Mestre zone contains a significant amount of ankerite, which is closely related with the high- grade areas of this zone and has previously never been seen in the other areas of the mine. Ankerite is an iron-rich carbonate, different from the carbonates found in the quartzites matrix (dolomites), and probably of a hydrothermal origin. Ankerite can be a key indicator for significant hydrothermal vein deposits which could lead to further gold bearing zones the deeper the company develop the Mestre zone. This mineral is now an important prospective vector for Mestre zone. The second fully refurbished Sandvik Toro LHD from Peru has been cleared from customs and will arrive at Cascavel on 28 April 2018. A new Bobcat has been purchased and will also be delivered next week. These will provide Cascavel with additional and more reliable underground haulage capacity to ensure more constant bogging and haulage operations. Mestre Assay Results continue to show Bonanza grades: The average grade of the 88 new samples was 46.39g/t. This takes the total number of panel samples analysed from Mestre to 147, for a total average of 44.68g/t. These 88 samples comprise four batches (CDPM-0061 to CDPM-0064), being prepared and analysed by ALS Minerals between the end of February and beginning of March. Panel samples are 2 meters long (to ensure representability in a coarse-grained gold environment), continuously taken along the vein throughout the mine, up to around 20 kg in weight. The panel vertices are then surveyed by a qualified surveyor using an electronic Leica total station to guarantee the precision in the sample location. For sample locations (batches and grades). Geological aspects of Mestre Zone: The vein in Mestre zone is docked mainly in the Sn-1 foliation (190/20), with ore-shoots controlled by the lineation (Li = 15/255) formed in the intersection of the foliation planes (Sn-1 and Sn-2). The Mestre 5 vein appears to double up by tight foldings. The hydrothermal factor is determinant in Mestre zone. The Mestre vein is inserted in the proximal hydrothermal halo (sericitic halo) and it is, stratigraphically, close to the lithological contact between the arcosean quartzite (bedrock) and an impure limestone. This contact is gradual, and layers of the limestone occur in the basis of the arcosean quartzite, which makes it much more reactive chemically, increasing the potential of mineralization. A further important hydrothermal feature was seen in Mestre zone. During sampling this year, the company have found a significant amount of ankerite, closely related with high grade areas in this zone, which has never seen in the other areas of the mine. Ankerite is an iron-rich carbonate, different from the carbonates found in the quartzites matrix (dolomites), and it has probably a hydrothermal origin. This mineral is now an important prospective vector for Mestre zone. In summary, the panel sampling works this year continues to show that Mestre is proving to be Cascavel's highest grading part of the mine.
