KINGSTON, ON, Nov. 13, 2012 /CNW/ - Murgor Resources Inc. (MGR: TSX-V) has commenced a new drilling program at the Golden Arrow Gold project, located south of the Town of Matheson and 65 km east of Timmins, Ontario. A total of 1500 metres in thirteen drill holes will be completed initially, aimed delineating additional gold ounces to the mineralized zone located immediately underneath the current open pit. The objective being to add this new data to the current block model of the deposit in an effort to complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") of the deposit as it currently stands, by early 2013.

"Murgor believes there is outstanding potential to add a great many ounces to the gold resource at the Golden Arrow Deposit and that there are still discoveries to be made at the property-scale That being said, management feels strongly that it needs to investigate the economic potential of the small resource as it currently stands at Golden Arrow, to determine the possibility of generating a revenue stream for the Company. Considering the current market conditions and the undervalued share price of junior explorers, we feel that Murgor, needs to seek ways of generating revenue in the least dilutive way possible. The completion of a NI 43-101 resource estimate and PEA at Golden Arrow would be a preliminary step in that direction" said Andre Tessier, President and CEO of Murgor Resources.

The second phase of the drilling program will be aimed at testing new exploration targets defined during the summer of 2012 and following up Murgor's new near-surface discoveries (announced on May 31, 2012) at the Golden Arrow West Extension and South Discovery Zone.

The Golden Arrow West Extension is located 700m southwest of the Golden Arrow Open pit and is currently known over a minimum strike length of 200m. The zone was intersected by four drill holes, extending the gold deposit to a total strike length of approximately 1.1 km. At line 700S, both drill holes AE12-03 and AE12-11 intersected the mineralized zone which reaches a minimum width of 90m at surface.

Results from the Golden Arrow West Extension to date are shown below:

Line 700S: Drill Hole AE12-03: 78.0 metres assaying 0.63 g/t gold
Drill Hole AE12-11: 57.0 metres assaying 0.52 g/t gold
Line 800S: Drill Hole AE12-01: 78.0 metres assaying 0.64 g/t gold (released February 28, 2012)
Line 900S: Drill Hole AE12-02: 21.0 metres assaying 0.53 g/t gold
and 18.0 metres assaying 0.92 g/t gold

The Golden Arrow South Discovery is located approximately one kilometre directly south of the current Golden Arrow open pit. The gold zone is associated with a NS-trending structure extending from the Golden Arrow Open Pit area towards the south. Based on two drill holes only, the gold mineralization is believed to extend for a strike length of at least 500m. The true width of the mineralized zone is unknown to date.
Results from both drill holes are as follows (intersections are open in both drill holes):

Drill Hole AE12-06: 21.0 metres assaying 1.15 g/t gold (underneath the overburden at surface)
incl: 15.0 metres assaying 1.42 g/t gold
Drill Hole AE12-07: 12.3 metres assaying 1.50 g/t gold (drill hole ended in the structure)
incl. 4.5 metres assaying 5.48 g/t gold

To date, Murgor has completed 46 drill holes, for a total of nearly 14,768 metres, aimed at expanding the Golden Arrow Mineral Resource. Murgor completed an additional 11 drill holes, for a total of 1,733 metres, aimed at exploring new targets at the property-scale.

About the Golden Arrow Gold Mine

The Golden Arrow property consists of 17 mining patents and leases, and four mining claims covering 723 hectares in Hislop Township and located 65 kilometres east of the City of Timmins in Ontario. In 1981 and 1982, a total of 303,449 tons of ore was mined at a grade of 0.066 oz/t (2.15 g/t) from the Arrow open pit. Mining ceased due to low gold prices.

The property was originally explored underground in the 1940's by the Golden Arrow Mining Company Ltd. who sank a shaft to a depth of 435 ft (130 m) below surface and undertook about 700 m of horizontal development on the 250 ft (76 m) and 400 ft (122 m) levels.

The Golden Arrow property is underlain by mafic flows and syenite intrusions cut by post mineral diabase dikes. Gold mineralization is generally hosted within a syenite intrusion and consists of a stockwork of quartz veinlets situated within a broader halo of pink to brick-red potassic alteration. Mineralized zones are related to the NE-SW Golden Arrow Fault, a splay off the Porcupine-Destor Break. The property covers a two kilometre strike extent of this NE-SW structure. The Golden Arrow gold deposit is located 9 km SW of the past-producing Ross Gold Mine which produced nearly one million ounces of gold between 1936 and 1989. Also located in Hislop Twp are the presently producing Hislop Mine of St Andrew Goldfields Ltd. and the Black Fox Mine of Brigus Gold Corp.
