G4G Resources Provides Update on Guatemala Iron Sands
Vancouver, B.C., August 27, 2010 - G4G Resources Ltd. (“G4G”, “the Company”) (TSX-V: GXG) is pleased to provide an update on the Guatemala Iron Sands project which was announced on May 10, 2010.
With the aim of identifying prospective exploration areas within the Off-Shore Reconnaissance License, the Company conducted sampling within an area starting near the Port of San Jose, Guatemala, and extending approximately sixty-eight kilometres to the west. Auger sampling was conducted on the shore line at approximately one kilometre spacing, together with a series of ocean-floor grab samples also spaced at approximately one kilometre and approximately one kilometre parallel to the shore line. All samples were subjected to XRF analysis by ACME and ALS Chemex Laboratories of Vancouver, B.C.
Basil Botha, President and CEO stated, “The auger and ocean floor sample results provide management with a great deal of confidence in the potential of the iron sands in Guatemala. More importantly, the assays highlight several potential target areas for exploration along the 250km shoreline. The reported iron content (Fe2O3) of the titanomagnetite iron sands is similar to other successful iron sands projects and is very encouraging”.
The table below summarizes composite samples taken from a number of sample areas along the shore line and off-shore. The average grade for 28 auger samples on the shore line is 18.06% Fe2O3 and the average grade for 64 ocean floor grab samples is 6.62% Fe2O3.
Recoveries of the on-shore samples produced a 100% recovery and the results are reliable. While recoveries of the off-shore samples were poor, the assay results provide reliable data to delineate areas of potential interest. Due to the sampling methods used, for seafloor sampling resulted in a considerable loss of fine material and only those samples richer in clay and lime produced better recoveries. The data acquired is useful to delineate areas enriched in heavy minerals. Further coring tests should be performed to recover representative samples.
