Mazorro Resources and Adventure Gold Intersect 60.6 Metres of 3.1 G/T Au at the Lapaska Bulk Tonnage Gold Property

Marketwired
Mazorro Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MZO)(FRANKFURT:JAM) ("MZO" or
"Mazorro") and Adventure Gold (TSX VENTURE:AGE) ("AGE") are pleased
to announce initial assay results from the Phase 2 surface diamond
drilling program on the Lapaska Gold Property (the "Property")
located in the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt, 20 km east of Val
d'Or, Quebec. The Property, totaling 352 hectares, is wholly-owned
by AGE and under option to MZO (see press release dated December
15, 2010). The initial Phase 2 results come from four (4) holes
drilled in the Lapaska Central zone ("LC Zone") with the best
intercepts, in core length, yielding:
-- Hole LP-11-27: 3.1 g/t Au over 60.6 metres, including a section grading
7.4 g/t Au over 11.8 metres at a depth of 70.7 metres;
-- Hole LP-11-25: 1.2 g/t Au over 43.2 metres, including a section grading
4.8 g/t Au over 5.5 metres at a depth of 35.1 metres; and
-- Hole LP-11-24: 1.0 g/t Au over 65.6 metres, including a section grading
8.8 g/t Au over 4.4 metres at depth of 271.8 metres within a gold halo
of 0.6 g/t Au over 144 metres.
The second phase drill program, totaling approximately 4,000
metres in ten (10) holes, is designed to test the extensions of the
LC Zone laterally and to the North, the West Zone and several new
targets. The drilling program is still in progress and should be
completed by mid December.
Dean Hanisch, President and CEO of Mazorro Resources Inc.,
commented, "We are extremely pleased with the initial assays in the
Phase 2 drill program as expectations continue to be exceeded with
higher grade results over significant intervals within our bulk
tonnage Lapaska project."
Gold mineralization intersected in Phase 2 drill holes is
typical of the LC Zone geological environment. In drill core,
visible gold was locally observed but generally the mineralization
consists of disseminated pyrite in quartz-tourmaline veins and in
altered host rocks. Table 1 shows all the significant results from
the first four drill holes. A surface map view (Figure 1) shows the
location of drill holes at the property and at the LC Zone scales.
Figure 2 shows the location of the best new results on the
longitudinal section. Holes 25 and 27, drilled north of the
longitudinal section, did not fully crosscut all of the gold
mineralization as they finished in a historical underground ramp.
Two subsequent Phase 2 holes will be completed shortly to evaluate
this area in detail.

(i) The length of the gold intervals mentioned above refers to the length in
the axis of drilling. The veins are usually cross referenced with a strong
angle by the holes for drilling. This indicates that the length of the
mineralized intervals is close to the actual thickness of the zones.
However, additional drilling will be necessary to assess their lateral
extensions (north-south).
(ii) Uncut gold value.
The Lapaska Property
The Property is favourably located between the past producing
gold deposit Sigma II to the east (161,300 ounces at 2.7 g/t Au:
MRNF - SIGEOM Database) which was operated by open pit method and
the Simkar gold deposit to the west (NI 43-101 inferred resource of
105,000 oz at 5.3 g/t Au: Megastar - MDV: TSX-V, September 2008).
The Property contains three significant gold-bearing zones: the
Lapaska Central, West and Lourmet zones and is also strategically
located along the prolific Cadillac Larder Lake Gold Break, a
regionally extensive structure that is spatially related to
numerous gold mines.
Jules Riopel, P.Geo., Vice-President Exploration and
Acquisitions of Adventure Gold Inc. is acting as the "Qualified
Person" as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed this press release
and has supervised the drilling program. Assay samples were taken
from NQ core sawed in half, with one half sent to AGAT Laboratories
in Mississauga, Ontario, a commercial laboratory, and the other
half retained for future reference. A strict QA/QC program was
applied to all samples, which included mineralized standards and
blank samples for each batch of 25 samples. The gold analyses were
completed by fire assay with an atomic absorption finish on 50
grams of material. Repeats were carried out by fire assay followed
by gravimetric testing on each sample containing 3.0 g/t gold or
more. Total gold analyses (Metallic Sieve) were carried out on
samples that showed a great variation in gold content.
Figuery, Quebec Property Option Agreement
Mazorro also announces that it has provided notice of
termination to Pershimco Resources Inc. with respect to the Figuery
property option agreement. The termination of the Figuery, Quebec
property option agreement allows Mazorro to focus its financial and
other resources on the Lapaska property.
