VANCOUVER, Aug. 10 /CNW/ - PMI Gold Corporation (TSX.V:PMV) - the Company is pleased to announce the results from the first 43 of 65 diamond drill holes recently completed at our Obotan Gold Project in Ghana. The program consisted of a total of 10,877 metres, with 6,315 metres in 35 resource definition drill holes and 4,562 metres in 30 quality control (QC) drill holes. The results of this definition and QC program have been added to the historical Obotan database of 2,930 drill holes totalling some 202,250 metres. A maiden NI 43-101 resource estimate for Obotan is currently under preparation. Drilling was completed at Nkran (holes labeled below with 'NKC' and 'NKR'), Adubiaso ('ADP'), Asuadai/Edubia ('ASP') and Abore ('ABP').
Douglas R. MacQuarrie, President and CEO commented: "We have achieved the objective of this drill program which was to confirm, and to commence expanding, the historical Obotan drill data base. The excellent grades, widths and continuity of the gold mineralization intersected in drilling at Nkran clearly indicate the potential of this zone for renewed mining activities - by either a pit push back or underground bulk mining techniques. In addition, significant near surface gold mineralization was noted at Adubiaso, Asuadai and Abore. Additional drilling will commence once all of the current results have been compiled."

This news release has been prepared by Douglas R. MacQuarrie, P.Geo.(B.C.), a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101. Field work was supervised by Donald Allen, MSc. P.Eng and Paul Abbott MSc., Consulting Geologists. HQ, and NQ core was logged, sawn and sampled on site, with half samples sent to SGS Laboratory in Tarkwa, and analyzed for gold by fire assay-AA on a 50 gram sample charge. Where visible gold was noted, on occasion both 1/2's of the core were assayed after geological logging and photographing (please see http://www.pmigoldcorp.com/i/maps/NR10-10VGphotos.pdf for photos from the drill program). Internal QC consisted of inserting both blanks and standards into the sample stream and multiple re-assays of selected anomalous samples. Where multiple assays were received for an interval, the final value reported was the average of all results for the interval. Results from the QC program suggest that the reported results are accurate. The data also suggests that diamond drilling may understate the gold grades relative to reverse circulation drilling, based on the larger sample sizes obtained with RC drilling. Intercepts were calculated with a minimum 1.0 g/t Au cut off at the beginning and the end of the intercept and allowing for no more than ten consecutive metres of less than 1.0 g/t Au internal dilution. Intercepts above 10.0 g/t Au metres are reported separately. Grade x Width intercepts of less than 10.0 g/t Au metres were not reported. True widths are estimated at circa 70% of the stated core length.
