Reservoir Capital Corp. (TSX VENTURE:REO)(FRANKFURT:ROC)(BERLIN:ROC) has reported that it has completed a Letter Agreement whereby Dublin-based Orogen Gold Limited can earn up to a 75% interest in the Company's Deli Jovan Gold Project by investing $3.5 million in exploration expenditures within 42 months.
The 69 square kilometre Deli Jovan permit, located in northeast Serbia, covers an 8 kilometre trend of historic surface and underground gold workings that date back as far as Roman times. High-grade gold mineralization at Deli Jovan is hosted by mesothermal quartz veins (the "lodes") in sheared gabbros, probably of Palaeozoic age. The Company has identified three old underground workings: Rusman, Gindusa and Seliste, where mining was conducted down to the water table in the early part of the 20th Century. The Company has undertaken preliminary surface work over much of the mineralized trend and reopened, mapped and sampled the old exploration adits at Rusman and Gindusa. Chip sampling across the vein system in the Gindusa adits yielded an average 10.95 grams per tonne gold ("g/t Au") from 11 samples in the H5/6 stope area, as well as individual values as high as 209 g/t Au (see Reservoir news releases of October 9th, 2007 and April 8th, 2008 for details).
Orogen plans to commence exploration work in the coming weeks with the initial objective of exposing the lodes on surface by trenching and, after dewatering and securing access, on underground levels in the old Rusman and Gindusa mines. The mineralised lodes will then be sampled systematically throughout the accessible extent of the workings. A subsequent program to estimate Mineral Resources by exploration drilling, supported by additional underground development, will be based on the results of the sampling program, as well as detailed geological mapping and structural analysis.
