SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 29, 1999--The drilling program on the Cenizas property started on November 15, 1999. Michael Hopley, VP Exploration for Cerro Dorado, Inc. reports that as of November 24, 1999, seven reverse-circulation drill holes had been completed for a total of approximately 1,100 meters. Some 15 drill holes are planned for a total of 2,500 meters.
The drilling is focused on two types of targets on the property. First, the Nueve Vidas gold zone, where broad zones of gold mineralization are exposed in trenching; and second, widely spaced drilling looking for large porphyry systems underlying extensive areas of the property that are covered by shallow gravels.
Visual examination of the samples from the drilling is encouraging and first assay results are expected next week.
Cerro Dorado, Inc. has an option to earn a 100% interest in the Cenizas property from Rio Tinto Mining and Exploration Limited.
Management of Cerro Dorado, Inc. is pleased to announce that negotiations with the City of London Public Relations Limited have been successfully concluded. The firm will be handling all of the company's European investor relations programs as well as some of the North American programs.
