KINGSTON, ON, Jan. 19, 2012 /CNW/ - Murgor Resources Inc. (MGR: TSX-V) today announce
d new drill results from its last seven drill holes at the Golden Arrow Gold project, located 65 km east of Timmins, Ontario. The current drill program is designed to test the Golden Arrow Fault, at depths of greater than 425 m and along strike of the currently known mineralized zone. The drill holes are also designed to intersect mineralized structures newly interpreted by Murgor that are parallel to the Golden Arrow Main Mineralized Zone.
"We continue to be encouraged by these results. The Main Mineralized Zone and its host structure show great continuity and width even at depth. So far, the results from our drilling continue to show potential for identifying new zones amenable to bulk underground mining in addition to the zones we have already identified as amenable to potential open pit mining at Golden Arrow," says André Tessier, President and CEO of Murgor Resources.
The drilling so far indicates that the Main Mineralized Zone extends to a depth of at least 375 m over a minimum strike length of 400 m and with a true width ranging from 15 m to 40 m. The drilling also shows the Main Zone to be flanked by at least two parallel zones, one located approximately 100 m to the east and the other 100 m to the west. Follow-up drilling of the East and West Zones will be part of our upcoming drilling.

The syenite-hosted gold mineralization at Golden Arrow consists of a stockwork of quartz veins and veinlets enclosed in a halo of pink to brick-red potassic alteration with 2-3% disseminated pyrite, associated with the NE-trending Golden Arrow fault. This style of gold mineralization is very similar to the syenite-hosted gold mineralization at the Young-Davidson Mine located approximately 50 km south of Golden Arrow where Aurico Gold Inc. has now defined reserves well in excess of 2.8 million ounces gold at similar grades (Northgate Minerals Corp. 43-101 Technical Report, January 23, 2009, available on SEDAR). Through drilling, Murgor continues to test this hypothesis.
To date, Murgor has completed 43 drill holes at the property for a total of nearly 11,940 metres. Murgor is awaiting for final assay results from drill holes A11-41 and A11-42, while drill holes A11-39 and A12-43 are in progress.
Complete results from the seven new drill holes are as follows:

About the Golden Arrow Gold Mine
The Golden Arrow property consists of 17 mining patents and leases, and four mining claims covering 723 hectares in Hislop Township and located 65 kilometres east of the City of Timmins in Ontario. In 1981 and 1982, a total of 303,449 tons of ore was mined at a grade of 0.066 oz/t (2.15 g/t) from the Arrow open pit. Mining ceased due to low gold prices.
The property was originally explored underground in the 1940's by the Golden Arrow Mining Company Ltd. who sank a shaft to a depth of 435 ft (130 m) below surface and undertook about 700 m of horizontal development on the 250 ft (76 m) and 400 ft (122 m) levels.
The Golden Arrow property is underlain by mafic flows and syenite intrusions with younger post mineral diabase dikes. Gold mineralization is generally hosted within a syenite intrusion and consists of a stockwork of quartz veinlets situated within a broader halo of pink to brick-red potassic alteration. Mineralized zones are related to a NE-SW structure associated with the Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone. The property covers a two kilometre strike extent of this NE-SW structure. The Golden Arrow gold deposit is located 9 km SW of the past-producing Ross Gold Mine which produced nearly one million ounces of gold between 1936 and 1989. Also located in Hislop Twp are the presently producing Hislop Mine of St Andrew Goldfields Ltd. and the Black Fox Mine of Brigus Gold Corp.
