Magellan Minerals Intersects New Gold Zone at Cuiu Cuiu

By Joel ScanlonSep 11 2011

Magellan Minerals has reported finding a new zone of gold mineralization situated nearly 360 meters north of the Central zone at the ‘Cuiu Cuiu’ project in Brazil. The previously unrecognized zone which has a significant resource estimate has now been named Central North.

39.4m at 1.25g/t gold was intersected in hole 131, located 360m due north of hole 118. In hole 125, there was at 13m at the rate 0.58g/t gold in the extreme eastern part of the Moreira Gomes zone confirming that the Moreira Gomes zone remains open to the east. 2m @ 6.29 g/t gold in hole 135 at the Jerimum Baixo zone located between Central and Moreira Gomes.

Alan Carter, President & CEO of Magellan said that the Hole 131 was the most important hole reported to date from the 2011 drill program at ‘Cuiu Cuiu’ and was a significant new discovery. They were excited by the potential of the Central North zone to grow into a third mineralized body at ‘Cuiu Cuiu’ and looked forward to the results of further drilling.

Oriented drill core measurements suggest the gold mineralization intersected in hole 131 trends NW-SE similar to the main Central mineralized zone and the large-scale Tocantinzinho shear that transects the property. Extensive historic gold placer workings occur approximately 500m north of the drill hole’s location within the Pau de Merenda creek. Additional drilling aimed at defining the strike and down dip extent of this zone is in progress.
