NEWS - Eloro Initiates Second Drilling Campaign at the Delta Property; Targets Lateral and Depth Extensions of VMS-Style Copper-Zinc-Silver Mineralization That Could Impact Tonnage-Grade Potential

Posted by: AGORACOM on July 22, 2008 08:44AM


TORONTO, ONTARIO - July 22, 2008 - ELORO RESOURCES LTD. (TSX VENTURE:ELO; the "Company" or "Eloro") is pleased to announce the start of the second drilling campaign at the Company's wholly-owned Delta Property (the "Property") in the James Bay Mining District of northern Quebec, where surface exploration work and drilling identified a significant copper-zinc-silver system akin to Volcanogenic Massive Sulphides (or "VMS") mineralization. The Property is located 35 km south west of Goldcorp's Eleonore Gold Project and 40 km west of Eastmain Resources Clearwater Gold Deposit.

The planned drill footage in this campaign is 3,150m in 9 holes with the objectives of:

- identifying the preferred plunge or rake of the mineralization, which according to the previous drilling, the airborne-ground geophysics and 3-D modeling by Alex Horvath, P. Eng., of A.S. Horvath Engineering (Ottawa, Ontario), indicates a steep north easterly plunge;

- determining the relationship between the higher grade copper veins, observed at surface, and the drill intersected copper zone; as well as the link between the copper and zinc zones; and

- establishing continuity of the mineralized system by drilling immediately on-strike and down-dip / down-plunge of the best mineralized intervals intersected by the Company during the winter 2008 drilling.

The winter 2008 drilling totaled 3,100m in 14 holes. Drill hole D-07-1 intersected mineralization below a surface copper showing at 110m vertical depth and returned 1.10% copper over 6.15m and 2.87% copper over 4.35m, including 10.15% copper over 1.15m. D-07-5, collared 100 m north west of D-07-1, undercut hole D-07-1 by 50 m and returned 0.75% copper over 2.00m, including a higher grade core containing 1.83% copper over 0.50m. Drill hole D-07-3, located 500 m to the northeast of D-07-1 and D-07-5 intersected at 140 m vertical depth below surface, 2.13% zinc and 35.2 g/t silver over 8.70 m, hosted within a wider interval of 1.20% zinc and 27.8 g/t silver over 17.50 m.

The Property hosts surface copper mineralization identified by Eloro in 2006 and zinc mineralization intersected in historic drill holes. The mineralization is linked to ground InfiniTEM(TM) (electromagnetic) anomalies from a geophysical survey completed by Eloro in 2007. The InfiniTEM(TM) anomalies are located within a 1.4 km long VMS sequence of chert-magnetite-sulphide iron formation, altered volcanic agglomerates, bedded cherts, disseminated and semi-massive chalcopyrite-pyrite stringers and veins, and disseminated magnetite-pyrite-chalcopyrite. Eloro's Property VMS sequence is typical of those hosting major copper-zinc-silver-gold bearing massive sulphides in the Rouyn-Noranda, Matagami, Louvicourt and Timmins Mining Camps located more than 600 km to the south in the Abitibi Belt.
