GOLD PORT RESOURCES LTD.
GPRL will focus on the further exploration and development of the Groete Gold and Copper Project, located in Cuyuni Mining District 4, Guyana. Work by the Company during 2012 to 2013 resulted in the completion of an independent resource estimate, in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ( NI 43-101 ), by P and E Mining Consultants of Brampton, Ontario, Canada ( “ P and E ” ). A Pit Constrained Inferred Resource of 1.59 million Gold ( “ Au “ ) Equivalent ounces at 0.66 grams per tonne Au Equivalent including 0.12% Cu contained in 74.8 million tonnes, was calculated by P and E. A data base comprised of 8 diamond drill holes ( 1,426 meters ) completed by the Company, and the historical results of 18 diamond core holes ( 3,477 meters ) completed by a previous owner, were used in the resource calculation. Four holes drilled by the Company were twins of historical holes. The project is located very close to infrastructure and deep water access, and offers the potential for further resource expansion. In addition, the Company owns the L.A.B. Graphite Project, located in Quebec, Canada. The L.A.B. Project is located immediately adjacent to the Emery’s Graphite and Carbon Mine, one of only two graphite producers in North America. Recent work completed by the Company has identified several targets, and the project is drill ready.
