Dutch Gold Resources, Inc.: Dutch Gold Resources Announces Commissioning of David Brown & Associates to Update NI 43-101 Compli
ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - May 27, 2009) - Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. (
An earlier NI 43-101 technical report was completed in July of 2006. In 2006, when the price of gold ranged from a low of $520 to a high of $720, the earlier report focused on the property's known underground minable gold resources and was written with the assumption that surface gold mining in Montana is not allowed. In reality, only the use of cyanide in gold recovery from surface mines is precluded. It appears that alternative methods of processing could allow successful gold recovery from selected surface and underground mining on the property. Based on the earlier gold price and excluding surface mining, the earlier report nevertheless indentified open-ended potentially recoverable gold resources of approximately 400,000 ounces. This report did not include the recovery of any silver, which is a strong component of the mineralization at Basin Gulch.
In addition, also in 1996, a non-NI 43101 compliant computer calculation by a consulting company projected an informal shallow open-ended resource of in excess 150 million tons at an average grade of 0.016 opt gold within a much larger low grade gold system, and within which are much higher grade zones and structures. Neither the informal computer calculation nor the 2006 NI 43-101 compliant report addressed several additional open-ended gold mineralized areas that were only lightly drilled, but which appear to have major expansion potential by further exploration.
With today's higher gold prices, and with availability of non-cyanide leaching methods, the Company believes this shallow material may be mined profitably, while protecting Montana's environment. In addition to our planned re-evaluation of the historic work and updated feasibility studies of the currently known mineralization, we also plan an aggressive exploration effort to expand and define known intercepts of high-grade mineralization, and to test potentially large new deeper high-grade targets.
