Romarco returns 23 meters of 45.8 g/t at Horseshoe

TORONTO, July 25, 2011 /CNW/ --
TORONTO, July 25, 2011 /CNW Telbec/ - ROMARCO MINERALS INC. (TSX: R) (the 'Company') is pleased to announce it has drilled the fourth best
hole ever completed on the Haile property.  The highlighted hole from
Horseshoe:

    --  RCT-29 encountered 23.0 meters of 45.8 g/t gold at Horseshoe
        144 meters below surface or 176.7 meters from the collar.  This
        intercept includes a 6.1-meter zone of 111.5 g/t gold.

Drilling at Horseshoe continues to return most of the highest-grade
mineralization at Haile.  RCT-29 intersected multiple zones of
mineralization beginning 131.2 meters below surface or 163 meters from
the collar. This intercept is positioned approximately 46 meters to the
southeast of DDH-379 (28.8 meters of 16.5 g/t gold and 66.0 meters of
10.9 g/t gold; released September 20, 2010 and October 28, 2010).

Diane R. Garrett, President and CEO commented: 'RCT-29 is significant
for two reasons: the length of the very high grade intercepts and the
fact this is the shallowest high-grade ore yet encountered at
Horseshoe.  We typically do not release single drill holes at this
stage of our company's development, however, the grade and width of
RCT-29 at 23.0 meters of 45.8 g/t gold make this one of the very best
holes ever drilled at Haile since its discovery in 1827. 
Congratulations to our entire geology staff who work so diligently to
understand this unique system, to add ounces and increase shareholder
value.  It should be clear that despite the delay in the schedule to
production, Haile continues to possess tremendous upside potential that
is yet to be discovered and that will provide the foundation for
continued growth and added value as we progress through the permitting
process.'

The drill hole extended from ore to a post-mineralized dike so the full
extent of the high-grade zone is unknown.  Additional drilling will
test for high-grade mineralization on the other side of the
post-mineralized dike and also test around RCT-29 closer to surface and
at depth.

Results from RCT-29 are presented in the table below:

The mineralization at Haile remains unconstrained at depth and in all
directions. Drilling is ongoing throughout the property to continue
defining the shape and extent of the Haile mineralized system.
