TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug 14, 2013) - Crocodile Gold Corp. (CRK.TO)(CROCF)(XGC.F) (Crocodile Gold" or the "Company") has filed technical reports prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") for the Northern Territory Projects (the "Projects") for each of the five project areas: Cosmo Mine, Burnside, Union Reefs, Pine Creek and Maud Creek (the "Technical Reports"). These filings are in support of the July 24, 2013 news release, which outlined the updates to the estimated mineral reserves and mineral resources of the Projects.
The Technical Reports are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on Crocodile Gold's website at www.crocgold.com.
In addition, the Company announces that the July 24, 2013 press release contained an error in the estimated inferred mineral resource calculation for the Cosmo Mine. This has been rectified in the table below and reconciles to the Technical Reports. Note that the estimated mineral resource tables contained in the July 24, 2013 press release had rounded numbers, which resulted in small changes, plus and minus, to tonnes and contained ounces. The tables below contain no rounding.
