An initial 2,000-metre diamond drilling programme – the first of a planned multi-phase effort to expand and prioritise targets on a historic gold property – has commenced in Sinaloa, Mexico.

The programme is designed to test targets with the aim of expanding the historic resource at Oro Gold's Trinidad property, as well as to verify assay information supplied by the previous operator at the project site.

One diamond drill rig is already onsite, with another scheduled to arrive at the Trinidad property in the short-term.

The 65,124 hectare Trinidad project is estimated to contain an abandoned resource of 100,000 ounces of gold.

Oro Gold considers the property to be its top-priority project and it is set to be the company's main focus in terms of resource definition efforts and exploration over the coming months.

Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the company currently has 13 wholly-owned and joint-venture gold exploration projects in Mexico and Panama.
