Second Drilling Rig to Commence on La India Project, Nicaragua

Ā 

Condor (AIM: CNR) is pleased to announce that a second diamond core drill rig has been contracted and will commence drilling on the La India Concession in Nicaragua towards the end of April. The addition of a second drilling rig will speed up the definition of gold mineralisation and the increase in the existing JORC Compliant Inferred Mineral Resource of 909,000 oz gold @ 5.0g/t in the La India Mining District. Condor has contracted Canadian drilling company Energold Drilling to undertake a 1,500 metres drilling programme using a man portable all-hydraulic drill rig capable of drilling to depths of 300 to 350 metres. The advantage of this type of drilling rig is that it can be broken down into units light enough to be carried by a team of ten porters between drill sites, negating the need to clear tracks and allowing access to sites on steep sided hills that cannot be easily accessed with a larger drill rig.

Ā 

The Energold drilling rig will initially drill on the San Lucas-Capulin Vein where there are few existing tracks, whilst the existing skid mounted drill rig operated by Uniworks Drilling will continue to drill on the more accessible veins located nearer to the main road. The initial drill holes aim to extend the inferred resource on the San Lucas-Capulin Vein by drilling along strike and beneath zones where high-grade gold mineralisation has already been intercepted at surface by trenching.

Chairman's Comment

Ā 

Mark Child, Chairman of Condor Resources plc commented: "The Board has made the decision to increase the drilling programme on La India Project by contracting a second drill rig for 1,500 m drilling, which is in addition to the 5,000 m drill programme already in place. SRK Consulting's summary report of La India project was released to the market on 8th March 2011. Investors are referred to the report that calculated a small JORC Resource of 34,000 oz gold @ 5.7g/t on the San Lucas-Capulin Vein. The resource extent is only 500 m at surface but the strike length of the vein is 1,500 m, with several high grade trenches along strike. The San Lucas-Capulin Vein has not been drilled by previous explorers, but has been historically mined to three levels and is a drill ready target. Investors are reminded that the current JORC Inferred Resource of 868,000 oz gold @ 5.9g/t at La India Project, calculated by SRK Consulting, is on an aggregate of 6.5 km of mineralised gold veins at surface and that a further 8 km of mineralised gold veins at surface have been identified by trenching, rock chip sampling or underground sampling on La India Concession".
