Symbol: CA TSX-V
Including the acceptance of the nine concessions, the total land package that Oro Barracuda controls is approximately 21,000 hectares in two of Colombia's prolific gold areas. The grants in Tolima and Quindio Departments establishes an exploration presence near the La Colosa gold discovery by Anglogold Ashanti Ltd. (NYSE: AU) that has a JORC compliant inferred mineral resource of 12.9 million ounces of gold. The grants in Santander Department enhances the exploration package Oro Barracuda currently owns which is strategically located 5 to 10 kilometers west of the emerging La Bodega gold discovery by Ventana Gold Corp (TSX:VEN).
Tolima and Quindio Departments / Five Titles Near La Colosa Gold Deposit ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Five titles have been granted in Tolima and Quindio Departments and total approximately 8,000 hectares. Three of the concessions are located between
The other two concessions are located south of the first three, in the municipality of Roncevalles, Tolima. These concessions are located in an area of strong NE faulting, where the Ibague Batholith is in fault contact with the Paleozoic gneisses and schists. Ingeominas reports a number of gold occurrences in this area. Oro Barracuda has applied for four additional concessions in this area.
Santander Department/ Four Titles Near La Bodega Project --------------------------------------------------------
Four titles have been received in Santander Department and total approximately 6,000 hectares. The concessions are located north of the town of Surata in the municipality of the same name. They are about 10 kilometers from Ventana Gold's La Bodega deposit in the California-Vetas District containing gold occurrences along a NE trending fault zone.
The concessions cover an area of hydrothermal alteration along and on both sides of a major NE-trending fault, where younger dioritic stocks and cupolas have intruded Paleozoic gneisses and dioritic dikes in hydrothermally altered Cretaceous sedimentary rocks that indicate the presence of concealed younger intrusives. There are prospects on veins in the altered area, some of which are said by local habitants to date from Pre-Colombian times. The target in this area is disseminated gold which may have been overlooked by prospectors searching for veins. Oro Barracuda has applied for additional concessions west, north and south of these concessions.
The Company is completing the Plan of Arrangement previously announced with White Gold Corporation, and expects to file documents in the immediate future.
