Condor Gold Geophysical Survey Results on La India Project, Nicaragua

LONDON, ENGLAND--(Marketwired - Aug 13, 2013) - Condor Gold plc ("Condor" or "the Company") (CNR.L), a gold exploration company focused on delineating a large commercial reserve on its 100%-owned La India Project in Nicaragua, which hosts a CIM compliant Mineral Resource of 2.4 Million oz gold at 4.6g/t, is pleased to announce the results of a helicopter borne magnetic and radiometric survey on the entire 280 sq km La India Project.

Highlights

  • The 3,351 line kilometer helicopter borne geophysics survey resulted in high quality datasets suited for interpretation on both regional and project scales.

  • The radiometric data sets can be used as a direct tool to map vein presence.

  • The magnetics can be used as an indirect tool for target delineation by the interpretation of zones of magnetite destruction. In addition, the magnetics are of sufficient detail to make a realistic structural interpretation.

  • The recognition of the geophysical properties associated with the known veins and extrapolation of those characteristics into other less well-mapped areas demonstrates that only a small part of La India Project has been tested by drilling.

  • Two prospective regions in the north and northeast of La India Project have been identified as having similar geophysical signatures to the main Vein Sets.

Mark Child, Chairman and CEO commented:

"The 3,351 line kilometer helicopter-borne geophysics survey covering the entire 280 sq km La India Project has confirmed that there remains considerable exploration upside for La India Project. The radiometric survey provides a powerful regional mapping tool. In particular, the potassium response has a strong correlation with areas of known gold veining. The magnetic survey helps identify fault zones, which normally hold gold mineralisation in the District. Together, the radiometric and magnetic surveys provide a targeting tool for future exploration whereby three areas have been highlighted that have a prospective radiometric and magnetic signature but relatively little drilling when correlated to the areas containing the existing gold mineral resources."

New Sense Geophysics Limited completed a 3,521 line-kilometer helicopter-borne magnetics and radiometrics survey on behalf of the Company in May 2013. The main survey was flown on 100m spaced lines with an azimuth of 030/210 degrees with tie-lines flown at right angles to the main survey lines on 1000m line-spacing (Figure 1: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/condor-0813-fig1.pdf). A terrain clearance of 30m was specified and largely achieved for the survey. The survey produced high quality datasets well suited for interpretation on both regional and project scales.
