All Samples were collected by Robert McCusker, a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101 and were fire assayed by ALS Chemex Labs using an AA finish in Elko, Nevada.
The Company notes that gold assays from drilling completed 2008 & 2010 are not included in the current 3.4 million ounce gold inferred resource. This data is being input into a new resource estimate. All drilling and metallurgical work completed by the end of 2010 will be used in a new NI43-101 compliant independent Preliminary Economic Assessment ('PEA'). A PEA is designed to illustrate the projects viability in the current cost environment.
The Company also wishes to announce that it has granted incentive options for the purchase of up to 690,000 common shares at a price of $0.45 per share exercisable on or before September 17, 2015 to Directors, Officers, Employees and Consultants.
Coral Gold, incorporated in 1981 continues to explore and develop a series of strategic claims along the Cortez Gold trend known as the Robertson Project.
