Otish Energy Reports Rock Sample Assay Results from Purini Gold Project

By Joel ScanlonJul 30 2011

Otish Energy has reported results from the rock sample assay from its Guyana-based Puruni gold project, which is located in the Mazaruni Mining District.

The company has yielded 1940.0 g/t gold, 503.8 g/t gold and 791.3 g/t gold from the samples PRX-01, PRX-02 and PRX-03 respectively. These selective grab samples were taken from the quartz boulders that were dug recently from the Puruni property’s Zone A. The concurrent gold-in-soil geochemical and strong induced polarization anomalies mark the Zone A.

The field crew of the company under the control of Senior Geologist, Martin Zambrano has completed the sampling program. Vancouver-based Acme Analytical Laboratories has completed all the analytical works. These samples were packed on site and sent to the facility of Acme in Guyana, wherein the samples were prepared in such a way that 1 kg of the sample was crushed to 80% and passed into the 10 mesh and then pulverized to a 250 g pulp subsample of 85% and passed in to a 200 mesh. This pulp was delivered to Vancouver and primarily examined by the 30 g fire assay ICP-MS method for gold. All these three samples were beyond the detection limit of this method and were assayed again by means of the 30 g fire assay gravimetric method.
