TNR Gold TNR.v El Salto results



TNR Gold Corp ("TNR") is pleased to provide assay results from 7 diamond drill holes of the 2008 exploration program on its 100% owned El Salto project in Argentina. TNR drilled 12 exploratory drill holes, totalling 6446.45 metres, to evaluate a copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry system on this underexplored property.Of the 12 drill holes (ES07-01 and ES08-02 to ES-08-12), 8 holes were drilled in the north-western (ES07-01, ES08-02, 03, 04, 07, 10, 11 and 12), and two holes each in the central (ES08-05 and 06) and south-eastern (ES08-08 and 09) parts of the property. These holes targeted a large (4.8 km long and up to 1.3 km wide) IP chargeability anomaly extending from the northwest to southeast end of the property. This anomaly corresponds very well with a distinctive alteration system (largely phyllic with local potassic and silica alteration), and is also partially coincident with geochemical anomalies (copper and molybdenum) delineated during the reconnaissance program in the 2006 and 2007 field season.Of the 8 drill holes (3,690.55m) that tested the north-western property, 6 holes were located in a stockwork-breccia area. Assay results currently available show copper values exceeding 500ppm (0.05%) in samples from all 6 holes, anomalous molybdenum and, in some instances, gold associated with copper mineralization.The two drill holes (ES08-08 and 09) in the south-eastern part of the property intersected anomalous copper and molybdenum throughout but yielded no intercepts of economic significance."
