SURREY, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 19, 2011) - Rome Resources Ltd.
(TSX VENTURE:RMR) (FRANKFURT:33R) 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 (www.multipowerproducts.com)
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.
