TIRANA, July 25 – Canadian-based Golden Touch Resources Corp. has released assay results outlining further gold mineralization within holes recently drilled at the Gjazuj area within the company’s Rubik gold project in Albania. Golden Touch is undertaking a drilling program at Gjazuj, in order to determine the extent of gold mineralization originally discovered by drilling in the 1980s and more recently confirmed by the company in surface trench sampling. Twelve drill holes have now been completed at Gjazuj to their total planned depth. The assay results from the first three holes were released on May 17, 2011. The assay results of the next five holes have been received, four of which intersected significant gold mineralization as reported below. Four further holes have been drilled, and the core is currently being logged and samples prepared prior to being dispatched for assaying. Further holes are planned along strike to ultimately define the limits of the gold mineralization and hence the resources available. Previous drilling suggested that the mineralization may extend over a strike length of 1,300 meters. Gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies suggest that gold-bearing soils extend over a strike length of up to six kilometers.
