  • Magnetic survey outlines 9 new faults parallel to the Golden Arrow Fault.

KINGSTON, ON, Oct. 4, 2011 /CNW/ - Murgor Resources Inc. (TSXV:MGR) announced today that it has completed a high resolution magnetic survey at its Golden Arrow Gold project, located 65 kilometres east of Timmins, Ontario. The survey outlines in detail the contacts of the two syenitic intrusions surrounded by magnetically high halos in mafic volcanic rocks on the property. The Golden Arrow deposit is hosted in a NE-trending structure, the Golden Arrow Fault, that cuts across one of the syenite intrusion, near the northern contact of the syenite with the mafic volcanic rocks. To date, only 500 meters of the Golden Arrow Fault have been tested and only one historical drill hole has ever intersected the structure below 200 meters (one drill hole at 220 meters).

Also visible on the new magnetic survey is the ore-hosting Golden Arrow fault and nine (9) additional parallel structures that have never been outlined before. Only one of these structures has ever been drill tested, with historical drill intercepts of up to 9.22 g/t Au over 13.44 meters. A total strike length of over 12 kilometres of new untested structures have been outlined on the property, each with potential to host undiscovered gold mineralization.

"We are thrilled with the results of this magnetic survey and all the geological information we can draw from it." says André Tessier, President and CEO of Murgor Resources. "The detailed trace of the syenite intrusion contacts, the trace of the Golden Arrow fault and the interpretation of nine additional parallel structures, will all serve to delineate numerous new targets at the property-scale at Golden Arrow."

Meanwhile, exploration work continues at Golden Arrow with a 5,000 meter drill program aimed at proving the size and depth potential of the gold mineralized zone. Geologists at Murgor believe the mineralization at Golden Arrow to be very similar to the Young-Davidson Mine located approximately 50 km south of Golden Arrow, where Northgate Minerals Corp. defined reserves in excess of 2.8M ounces gold at similar grades (Northgate Minerals Corp. 43-101 Technical Report, Jan. 23, 2009, available on SEDAR).

Murgor also plans to embark on a property-wide exploration program shortly. To view the magnetic map discussed above please click here or visit www.murgor.com.

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 kilometers east of the Town of Timmins in Ontario. In 1981 and 1982, a total of 279,593 tons of ore was mined at a grade of 0.061 oz/t (2.09 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 with younger 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 a NE-SW structure associated with the Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone. 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.
