ROUYN-NORANDA, CANADA--(Marketwire - Nov. 23, 2010) - Explor Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:EXS) is pleased to announce the results of three (3) drill holes being the first series of holes on the previously announced 10,000 meter (Phase III) diamond drilling program. Holes #28, #29 and #30 are reported in this press release. This series of holes was designed to test the continuity of the width and grade in the vicinity of the holes that were completed during Explor recently completed Phase II Diamond Drill Program. (Press Release Dated September 15, 2010, September 30, 2010 and October 12, 2010). To date every drill hole drilled by Explor on the TPW Property has intersected gold mineralization on the "A" Zone. It is interesting to note that this drilling has increased the strike length to greater than 1975 meters. The structure is still open on strike and at depth. The first phase of drilling was concentrated on mineralized Zone "A" located on the south limb of the geo-syncline. Mineralized Zone "A" is one of five (5) mineralized zones identified on the property. A partial summary of the results is as follows:
Diamond Drill Hole #28 was drilled behind Explor Hole No. TPW-10-12 and was designed to test the high grade mineralization that was encountered in Hole #12. The mineralization was confirmed, and the structure remains open on strike and at depth.
Diamond Drill Hole #29 was drilled behind Explor's Hole No. TPW-10-21 and was designed to test if the mineralization was continuous under Hole #21. The mineralization was confirmed to be open at depth.
Diamond Drill Hole #10-30 was drilled 50 meters to the west of Explor's Hole #10-09 and was designed to test the westerly extension of the structure. Hole #10-09 intersected 11.15 meters of 5.38 g/tonne (press release September 15, 2010) while Hole #10-30 intersected 11.0 meters of 9.22 g/tonne. The mineralization was confirmed to be open to the west and at depth.
The Timmins Porcupine West Gold Property consists of 185 unpatented mining units located in the Bristol and Ogden Townships in the Timmins-Porcupine Mining Camp for a total 3000 hectares. The property is contiguous with Lakeshore Gold West Timmins Mine. The highway 101 bisects the property and provides access from the city of Timmins located 13 km to the east.
The property has been explored since 1927 by numerous ground geophysical surveys and diamond drilling of up to 111 holes. In 1984, Dome Exploration discovered and delineated a gold mineralized zone that was approximately 350 meters long and 45 meters wide and is open below 350 meters of vertical depth.
The "A" Zone identified through modelling strikes east northeast and dips to the north at 70 to 80 degrees. The drilling has confirms the association of gold mineralization with Quartz feldspar (QFP) and syenite porphyry, found at both the Lakeshore and West Timmins Properties. Five mineralized zones designated "A" thru "E" have been identified. The larger zones of mineralization display a strong spatial relationship with proximity to syenite intrusive rocks and high Fe-tholeitic volcanic rocks.
