  • (1888PressRelease) June 01, 2011 - Rome Resources Ltd. is pleased to announce that their Prospector II Reverse Circulation Drill is operational on the Don Luis Silver-Gold-Tungsten Property in Sonora, Mexico. This state-of-the-art drill was manufactured by Multi-Power Products Ltd. of Kelowna, B.C., Canada and exported to Mexico. Pictures of the current operation of our drill are in Figures A1 and A2 of the Appendix. This reverse circulation drilling is particularly important because on Don Luis the silver results from diamond drilling, while very encouraging (News Release #10: May 28th 2010), are thought to be low because of poor core recovery in our preliminary diamond drilling campaign. The larger sample size, more complete and more representative sample from reverse circulation drilling is expected to yield higher silver values.

    Acquisition of this drill is considered critical to evaluation, not only for Don Luis, but also for the extensive and highly prospective suite of silver, gold and copper properties held by Rome in Mexico. Training of Mexican operators is in full swing. Advantages of having our own drill include: (i) faster, cheaper drilling and easier sample preparation, and generally more reliable assay results from reverse circulation drilling compared to diamond drilling-this is expected to lead to quicker evaluations and information for investors, (ii) avoidance of lead time in obtaining a drill contractor-currently as much as nine months, and (iii) ease of mobilization to any of Rome's properties in Sonora and Michoacan.
