MEXICO AND CENTRAL AMERICA — Trio drills gold prospect in Costa Rica

Trio Gold (TGK-A) has finished the first round of drilling at the Pigenkid gold property in Costa Rica.

Comprising 9 sq. km, the concession lies in the Aquacate mining district, 45 km west of San Jose, the national capital.

The first two holes of the 4-hole program returned limited gold values. The third, however, returned a 31.2-metre intersection, from surface, grading 1.4 grams gold per tonne, including 0.78 metre grading 18.8 grams. Results from the fourth hole, which reached a depth of 83 metres, are pending.

The Pigenkid property contains three subparallel vein systems: the Quebrada Honda, Compan~ia and Sacra Familia. Mineralization is hosted in epithermal gold-silver veins and stockworks in altered andesitic rocks. The sequence is overlain by younger, post-mineral basalts.

The Quebrada Honda vein system, where the drilling occurred, is reported to have produced, to a depth of 200 metres, 560,000 tonnes of ore from which were extracted 300,000 oz. gold.

The drilling was concentrated on the southern portion of an 800-by-300-metre anomaly, which was identified through soil geochemistry.

Trio is looking to acquire additional property around the Pigenkid, as well as elsewhere in Costa Rica.
