Tres-Or Resources Ltd. ("Tres-Or") (TSX VENTURE:TRS) and partner
Aurizon Mines Ltd. ("Aurizon") (TSX:ARZ)(NYSE Amex:AZK) are pleased
to provide an update on field operations at the Duvay Gold Project
("Duvay"), located in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt approximately 17
kilometres northeast of Amos, in Duverny township, Quebec. Under
the Option Agreement, Aurizon can earn 50% interest in Duvay Gold
Project by making cash payments of $1,500,000 and completing
$6,500,000 work, of which $2,500,000 million is a firm commitment
(see news release dated September 27, 2011 for full details).
Tres-Or is the project Operator.
Tres-Or's current field operations at Duvay are centered around
a mini-bulk sampling program, and drilling. Processing of the first
two of the mini-bulk samples has been completed at Tres-Or's heavy
mineral concentration facility on site. These two samples weighed
10 tonnes apiece, and were crushed to pass through a 0.85 mm screen
before being passed across concentrating tables to yield heavy
mineral concentrates, which were less than 1% of the original start
weight. The first two pit sample concentrates have been shipped to
an independent laboratory for analysis by fire assay. Processing of
the third mini-bulk sample has begun. Additionally, the site has
been completely winterized to allow for continued operations
throughout the winter.
Analytical results from the first 13 hole drill program totaling
1261.5 m have been received from Activation Laboratories Ltd., an
independent ISO1EC 17025 rated laboratory in Ancaster, Ontario.
Analyses include 83.194 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) over 1 m
from drill hole DV-012-11; 5.217 g/t Au over 1 m from drill hole
DV-008-11; and 8 other intervals between 0.420 g/t Au and 1.930 g/t
Au, from intervals between 1 and 7 m in length (Table 1). True
thickness of the intervals cannot be determined at this early stage
of drilling.

The drill results including 1 m intervals up to 83.194 g/t Au
support Duvay's reputation as a nuggety gold occurrence, which
extends back to government reports from the 1940s. Tres-Or and
Aurizon expect the mini-bulk sample program to be critical in
accounting for the nugget effect as we work towards establishing a
gold resource at Duvay.
The drill holes were designed to test structural intersections
between the main west-northwest Duvay compressional shear zone,
north-south striking near vertical extensional quartz veins, and
northeast oriented faults and to investigate the continuity of one
of the structures composing the Duvay mineralized area. Drill holes
DV001-11 to DV006-11 were drilled across the most prominent
northeast oriented fault, with two holes from each of three collar
locations 75 m apart. From each collar location, one hole was
planned to the northwest at approximately 45 degrees to 125 m, and
the second hole was vertical to 75 m. Two more similar set-ups
(DV008-11 + DV009-11 and DV011-11 and DV012-11) were located along
a magnetically defined fault approximately 100 m northwest of the
first fault. A sixth set-up for DV009-11 and DV010-11 tested the
main shear zone approximately 150 m further west.
The Duvay Gold Project is located in a favourable geological
setting with potential to host low-grade, bulk tonnage gold
mineralization. Visible gold was discovered at Duvay in the late
1930s. Gold mineralization at Duvay is associated with a northwest
trending shear zone and intersecting northeast faults. The property
encompasses kilometric zones of intense carbonate alteration
(ankerite) with quartz stockworks. Native gold occurs on the
property as well as disseminated pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite
and minor galena.
