SAGUENAY, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - March 2, 2010) - The management of Arianne Resources Inc. (" Arianne " or " Company ")(TSX VENTURE:DAN)(FRANKFURT:JE9N)(OTCBB:DRRSF) is pleased to announce the start of its diamond drilling campaign on the El Rey gold and silver property, located in Sinaloa, Mexico.
Phase one of the campaigns will be more than a thousand meters and will verify the known extensions of the mineralized zones. The drilling will also check new I.P. geophysical anomalies found in the 2008 survey. This was the first geophysical survey ever made in this property. The I.P. anomalies are very helpful for following the known gold mineralization. Also, a new sector located north of the property which has a lot of anomalies will be drilled as well. This new sector included silicified and argilitized rocks, which was observed during the surface mapping and where the conductivity is very high.
In 1998, 20 RC drill holes were done by Exploraciones Eldorado (Mexico) and have demonstrated the gold potential of the property. Hole ER-4 returned 2.4 g/t Au over 6 m, ER-6 returned 7.4 g/t Au over 8 m and ER-17 returned 1.1 g/t Au over 4 m and 1.0 g/t Au over 18 m. Silver was not analysed in these holes despite the high known historical silver content in the area.
Surface sampling done on the property by Arianne in 2007 returned values up to 49.5 g/t Au and 1,805 g/t Ag in grab samples. In 2008, continuous surface sampling in a selected zone returned an average of 1.07 g/t Au and 13.95 g/t Ag over 40 meters (see April 30, 2008 press release).
Maza Diamond Drilling will be the contractor for the drilling and the samples will be analysed by ALS Chemex in Hermosillo. Results are expected by May 2010.
