Initial Resource Evaluation Work to Commence June 20, 2012: Cerro Resources NL (ASX/TSX-V: CJO) is pleased to advise it has received excellent final drill results from the Stage 1 diamond core drill campaign at the Namiquipa Silver Project (CJO - 100%), in Chihuahua, Mexico.
HIGHLIGHTS
? Drilling has identified a broad zone of confluence between the principal Princesa and America vein systems; ? 11 out of the 16 holes yielded silver intercepts greater than 100 g/t Ag; ? 7 holes yielded silver intercepts greater than 200 g/t Ag, including: o 3.66m@738g/t AgEq (NAM-085) from 122.34m (654g/t Ag, 0.62% Pb and 2.43% Zn), o 8.8m@268g/t AgEq (NAM-084) from 145.12m (255g/t Ag, 0.19% Pb and 0.32% Zn), including 0.25m@2,397 g/t AgEq from 145.12m (2,340g/t Ag, 1%Pb and 1% Zn), and o 4m@383g/t AgEq (NAM-078) from 148m (363g/t Ag, 0.6%Pb and 0.2% Zn).
Stage 1 drilling, comprising 86 holes, has delineated a major silver-driven system of largely contiguous mineralized veins (Ag-Pb-Zn) encompassing 1km lateral strike, and extending from 150m below surface to 500 meters down-dip. The drill results from this extensive system will now be incorporated into a detailed geologicalgeophysical- geochemical model for purposes of completing an initial resource estimation during the second half 2012.
Surface exploration, consisting of soil geochemistry and a planned Induced Polarization geophysics, is also underway to better define the northern extension of the Namiquipa mineralization. This will be subject of drill testing at a later stage – post the initial resource assessment.
