SOUTH ATLANTIC GOLD INC. announced the completion of the trenching program of the Phase II exploration program at its Pedra Branca project, located in Ceará state, northeastern Brazil. The trenching program assayed over 200 mineralized intersections, including the highest grading intersection at surface identified so far with 3 meters (m) grading 38 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au). The required exploration schedule included a detailed trenching program that outlined 48 trenches totaling 9,880 meters and minimal supportive RC drilling for each tenement.

The program was successful in extending the current known mineralized trends south in the Pedra Branca tenement package and supported the previously defined Mineral Resources report (RFP) filed with the Brazilian mining agency, ANM. This work had the objective to convert 15 of the tenements that comprise the Pedra Branca project from exploration to mining concession tenements. The map below highlights the best trench intercepts from the Phase II trenching.
