Drake Gold Resources Announces Significant Gold Discoveries in Georgia

We see the Richard Claus estimates as our conservative baseline. He limited the samples to a bit over 44 acres and gave us figures that were not only encouraging but a starting point from which we could provide a rationale for moving forward. We look at the amount of gold Claus estimates and we can translate 1.3 grams to approximately .05 ounces. When the minimum per ton target for profitability is .01 ounces the decision becomes clear. Moving forward when we have a project that is projected to be 500% more productive than the minimum is still a very good idea.

We expect though the truth lies somewhere north of the 1.3 grams. Not that we couldn't be more than successful with recovering 54,000 ounces from the initial 44 acres but we are aiming higher. With our Gault Group samples as well as internal samples taken by our geologist Dr. McLemore coming in at between 10 and 15 grams per ton, we would come in a bit conservative with our high-end projections aiming at the 10 gram/540,000 ounces it would yield.

These numbers provide clarity to the decisions we have made so far. The decisions Drake Gold Resources has made are based on our in-house regional expertise. Both our local prospector and former Georgia State Geologist bring extensive knowledge and connections to the table. We have built this knowledge base, with deep ties in the area, so that we could ensure that we could side step complications. Our assets on the ground in the Southeastern United States hold in common with our shareholders an interest in maximizing the profitability of these projects. With the help of both Jan Yarrington and William McLemore PhD, Drake Gold Resources is moving forward with a project that has valuable implications for all of our shareholders.
